Iffin I was to try an' land me a big ol' bucketmouth, or sic my hounds on a big ol'rascal of a buck down by da akern tree, shore as shootin' I'd head me over to unna dem Bass Pro Shops.

However, I live north of the Mason/Dixon line. Therefore it is in my humble opinion that the Cabela's stores cater more to those who deal with colder weather and different hunting and fishing experiences/techniques than it's southern cousin, bass pro. I think Cabelas clothing, especially long johns and sock are second to none. And to clear up an earlier question, Gander Mountain sold all of their catalog buisness to Cabelas about 8-10 years ago.

My wife and I figured out that I have only spent $100 in the past 4 years at Cabelas, yet I have purchased over $1000 worth of stuff. How? We exclusively use our Cabelas Visa for payment of our bills, gas, and groceries (even put the down payment on my truck on the card, the dealership wasn't happy as it cuts into their profit but I said I would just leave if they didn't like it). We pay the card off each month so we don't owe extra, and I get all the points to spend as I wish. It's like getting free stuff. She's happy, I'm happy. The whole trick is making sure to make you pay off the card balance each month. I'm sure you all knew that though.
