I don't know this for a fact but I've heard that you can try to arrange a meeting with a company rep, have them sign an agreement not to steal your idea, and pitch them the product. If they are interested in adding it to there line of products then a contract is signed and you probably sign off the rights to it for either a lump sum payoff or a percentage of sales. You wouldn't make nearly as much money doing this as you would if you did all the work yourself and it truely was a product that no hunter can go without but at least you would make some money on the deal. Also you would not have to front your savings on something that might not turn out. No idea if this is true but it may be worth looking into, you might make just enough to fund your next big idea yourself!!!

Bass Pro and those stores are just Retail stores for existing products so you would need to work with a manufacturer directly.
