They're both good, but I always go with Cabela's for clothes because they have tall sizes.

I'm with IAKSmith. I took a home equity loan for a bunch of work I needed done and then put the whole thing on my Cabelas visa. When it was all said and done I got myself a new Knight muzzleloader with the Cabela bucks I earned. I figure I might as well get something for nothing! It doesn't happen too often!

ny bowhunter, just a suggestion about spending all your dough at Bass Pro Shop. Take a part-time position at their store in Auburn. Most retailers give an employee discount. Might help with the bride looking for grocery $$'s also.

Cabelas all the way! I got tired of things I was trying to order over the phone from Bass Pro's being back ordered, plus what they did have took 10-14 days to get to my door. I've only had 1 single item back ordered from Cabelas, and I recieve all my merchandise in 3-5days! Same type standard UPS shipping for both. You can't beat it!!!!!!

Cabelas always ships in three days when coming ot my house, they have te nicest store, best delivery, great prices!! Their stores are 100% better than BP, I live in IL ad would never go back to the gurness BPS again! So whenever I get the chance I go to MI or WI!!

Someone has to say it, so I will, support your local proshop.

Having said that, I get most of my nik nacks from BPS, the other 75% of my hunting gear comes from my local shop.

[quote]I use a Cablea's Visa Card and earn points with each purchase.[/quote

Same here and when I acumulate enough points I go and buy myself not neccesasarily something I need, but rather something that I want or wouldn't have normally purchased.
Some one mentioned Gander Mountain and at ont time I swore by them. Then one day I stopped getting catalogs and couldn't find their address in any mag. I think they had financial trouble. Then a friend turned me on to Bass Pro, Which was a fair substitute. But then I found Cabella's and have been hooked ever since. That was about 3-4 mortgage payments ago.

i use both but BASS PRO RED HEAD has always been better for me. my CABELAS orders take a week to get to me as compared to 3 to 5 days from RED HEAD BASS PRO. BASS PRO will price match. i called cabelas once and they basically laughed at me about price matching[:'(] im sold just on that! BASS PRO gives you points on your account no matter what credit card you use and it really adds up after a while. prices are similar but those above reasons makes me go with bass pro most of the time. i get my fancy ammo from NATCHEZ SHOOTERS because they always have it in stock from triple o buck to 338 win mag. bottom line price is whay matters

Liquidorange: The only orders that take a week are the BPS orders, I have nothing but slow shipping with BPS, and I am not going to spend an eaxtra amount of money for the 3-5 day shipping, when Cabelas gurantees your order in 5 days, unless the item is backordered, I am not sure what Cabelas you are shopping at!
