I own a business here and I make sure that my purchases are made locally to support the local economy. I'm really not willing to send my money to an out of state corporation. I may pay more for my gear but the satisfaction of doing business locally is worth it. I encourge all to loosen the wallet and buy locally.

If it's just something little, I go somewhere near where I live. But I make a few Cabela's trips a year so that's where I spend most of my $$. Plus my Cabelas card points help out quite a bit.

I agree with you about supporting local business. With shipping, it's rarely the case that mail order is a lot cheaper, but for me, it generally boils down to efficiency of finding what I need, not just saving some bucks. In the small city where I live, there's a lot of stuf that's just not available locally. Plus, a lot of the time I don't know if the thing I'm looking for is or isn't available locally and I can spend an hour driving from one store to another looking at what they have. I buy locally when ever practical though.

I will NEVER use local inventory to try something on and then order it mail order to save money. To me, that's just plain wrong because one of the things you're paying extra for (if indeed it costs more) is to be able to see, feel and try an item before purchasing.

I used Basspro or Cabela's usually. For my Camo clothing I usually wait until the season is coming to a close and go to Wally World. They mark stuff down.I have so much camo now it will be years until I need to buy anymore.Unless something catches my eye that I have to have.

Cabela's, Sportsmen's Warehouse locally. Bass Pro has never had the gear I'm looking for, I gave up on them years ago. For wool items my local thrift stores.
