What to buy at Cabelas?
 

Man it's like Christmas. I just won $800.00 this past weekend playing cards and now I am going to Cabelas and have no idea what to spend it on!! Well I'm not gonna spend it all but probably 200-300 of it anyway. Any ideas?

A late birthday present for me! Please and Thank You. :D

You know, that was my first intention...but then I talked some sense into myself:D:D:D:D:D

From the looks of your picture I would say a new deer stand. Although there is nothing wrong with that one.

RE: What to buy at Cabelas?
 

What do you mean new deer stand?That right there is the only deer stand on the market that can make you feel better after you miss that 200" P&Y standing broadside at 15 yards
:D:D

Definately go deep but it looks like you've got a great funnel there. Do you see much traffic?:D

I need to pick up a small 700 or 800 cu in "fanny pack". Ahh I just hate to call is a fanny pack. Lets for all practical purposes call it a day packer.

I'd get a 700 to 800 cu in day packer:)

All right,just to clear some things up, that's not me in the pic...I just thought it was funny as he!!, he's a man after my own heart :D

And Adams, you can call it a day packer, but every hunter you pass while wearing it knows it's still a fanny pack :D:D:D

cabelas buckmasters exclusive bow , with dartons extreme cams :)

ijimmy, that sounds like a great idea but then I'll have to stop shooting my bowtech:( but then again, you can never have too many bows!

If you're a sportsman and you're looking to buy, Cabela's is the place to go. Only problem I see is that you're probably about to find out that you don't have enough money. $800 only goes so far you know. :D:):(

Good rain gear.

See if you can get the chick from the Martin add. [8D]

RE: What to buy at Cabelas?
 

I would buy a SKB hard sided bow case. Good rain gear is also another good choice.

It's too bad you didn't win that last week or even better yet about 3 weeks ago. Last week Cabelas had their seasonal sidewalk sales and 3 weeks ago they had there huge tent sale (anyways the Cabelas store in Dundee, MI did). I don't if you've ever been to either sale or not but, you've got the right amount money to go. It doesn't matter if I'm not looking for anything. If I go to either sale I spend four or five hundred bucks. Hey who cares....Have fun with it!!!

Either you've never been in Cabela's and don't know how much it looks like a candy store once you walk in the doors, or your wifes standing right behind you!:D

Peel off $200 and give it to your wife so she'll leave you alone to spend the rest.

RE: What to buy at Cabelas?
 

Leverdude, I don't think I have enough for the Martin Bow model so that's out, plus I think my wife would frown on that one but still a pretty good idea:D

zak123, I've been to a couple of Cabelas numerous times and I think that's the problem. I have sooooo much stuff that it's hard to find something that I really NEED. Now, WANT is a different story. I guess I should look at it that way though. I'll forget what I need and go for what I want.;)

livbucks, as usual women are always one step ahead. As soon as I told her I won $800.00 (my first mistake) she said "oh good because the car insurance just came and it was $500 so I can just pay it with that!:( So now that only leaves me with $300.00. I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut[:@]:D

So I guess the best plan of action would be to just head up and buy whatever the heck I feel like (within reason of course) rather then to try and plan out a course of action. Because no matter what I had planned on the ride up it's going to change the second I walk through those doors anyway:D

DON'T FALL FOR THAT!
Tell her that those are everyday bills and that comes out of the budget. She's trying to play you for 500 bucks man!
She just loosened up the budget so she can spend $500 on herself.

RE: What to buy at Cabelas?
 

What do you need, versus what do you want?

If you already have everything you need for bowhunting, how about muzzleloading? You could get a new Traditions or CVA rifle, or a Leuopold Rifleman scope, or a new GPS. How about new boots, hunting cloths scent blocker? Or you can take your wife to an excelent steakhouse like Mortons, and have a great meal. You may have some money left over, but not much. If you use some of the money on your wife, it may ease the blow when you go hunting. Like some new Jewerly for her, it may ease er pain of missing you when your gone on those long hunts.

Good luck....

Tomster, I already asked her to go out to eat yesterday but she didn't want to so maybe I'll tell her we're going out tonight. As far as ideas you just hit the nail on the head. I crown you KING of shopping ideas!!! :D I need a GPS! my dog just chewed mine to pieces a few months ago and I totally forgot about it thanks for refreshing my memory! Well, I guess I'm glad you refreshed it. The sight of that garmin in 10 pieces still hurts when I think about it:(:D

RE: What to buy at Cabelas?
 

I'd go with the rain gear and a new pair of boot's .And hopefully soon you'll learn to be quiet about undisclosed earnings .Women alway's have different view's of excess fund's not disclosed with paycheck's .haha
