Being new to the sport and needing to "gear up" I ended up spending a ridiculous amount of money at Cabelas' last year. Trying to find hunting gear and any real winter clothing in the Los Angeles area is an exercise in frustration. Add to that my need to order several different versions or sizes of some things (boots, jackets) to see which fit best. The UPS guy made a lot of deliveries! If I had it to do over again I would've gotten a cheap ticket from LA to Kansas City and spent the weekend shopping at the Kansas City store.
