I have been to 2 Cabelas's and the Bass Pro in Springfield many times. I like the sales people at Cabela's better. They seem more knowledgeable and can help you more. Cabela's also has much better customer service. You can buy something in a store and return it through the online service but Bass Pro only lets you take it back to the store where bought and if that is a ways away it cost you a lot to drive there for a return on something that was faulty anyway. Don't get me wrong I buy plenty at Bass Pro every August at their hunting show. It is a good time and great bargains.
