We have neither up here:( but I order a lot of stuff from Cabela's and it's been very good quality & service. I can't even get a BPS catalogue sent to my home for some reason[:@] I was in Vegas for new years and checked out the Bass Pro at Silverton. I must admit it was nice, but few real smokin deals, especially for Boxing week. I did get a good deal on a fanny pack that would have cost me $70+ up here and only paid $17 there. My vote goes to Cabelas still...Hell, I like the Company so much I bought some stock in the company:) If someone from Cabelas reads this...please build a store up here or in Montana!!!! JDinAB

Cabela's is better from my experience of visiting bothing when in the US. I have only mail ordered a few items and they were from Cabela's.

JD their is BP in Toronto opened in November 2004, I haven't been. I heard they aren't doing a Canadian specific mail order as of yet, but am sure if something was in stock that caught your fancy they'd ship it from TO. With the border tightening many items are not available, so it maybe an option. However like most retail stores once you factor duty/S&H/exchange, the CHEAP part goes pretty quickly.

I live 30 minutes away from the DFW BPS. I don't care for their hunting department. Their fishing department is OK. I'm looking forward to Cabela's opening in Fort Worth, Texas. I'll be there when they open with a lot of money. :D

Grizzlyman, I have been to the DFW BPS, store was ok but I never bought anything. However we spent some in the Big Buck eatery which was very good and us canuck boys quite enjoyed the sampler tray of brews (a number of times;)). Must say the view that afternoon wasn't to bad either. :eek:

There is no Basspro in my area but we do have a Cabela'a and have shopped there.
One thing they are not cheap by any means but good stuff.

I find I shop more at Cabelas. Both are great, but I think Cabelas has more products to offer.

I like the DFW BPS. I wish they had a little more reloading stuff. Now, I do like their fishing section. Nearly all my fishing gear is from BPS. I'll have to stay away from Fort Worth when they get the Cabela's in. Otherwise, I'll be scratching a broke butt!:)

Cabelas for hunting and rod building supplies. BPS for all other fishing.

Hey North Texan! Have you been to the Sportsman's Warehouse in Lewisville? They have a great selection on reloading stuff. They are a bit pricey. Bought some ammo there at Christmas because my boss gave me a gift certificate for there. They have some hard to find stuff there.

I like Bass Pro because there is one 10 min away, The only Cabela closeby is one and a half hour drive.

Can't say it any better than this. North Texan said it all... ;)

Depends ButchA, I go to Bass Pro in Orlando Fl..only 45mins from my place.They have everything I
always needed for hunting.Before Bass PRO, I used Cabelas for everything.They have what hunters
want in these areas for Deer-Hogs-Turkey, plus everything for fishing.One stop shooping!!
Oh, they also sell "RED Man" chew!

HAPPY HUNTING, ButchA....

KEEP ON ROOTING!!!

I have a Bass Pro 25 minutes from the house, Gander Mtn 30 minutes and Cabelas 40 minutes away...

Bass Pro, is as always reliable, prices in line with the catalog, merchandise as shown in the catalog, friendly/helpful sales staff... will continue to visit the store and buy from the catalog...

GM, a pillar of the community... ;)

Cabelas, the bargain den was no bargain at all, hardly anything in the store they have in the catalog as far as brands and styles, the redeeming factor was the displays of mounts etc, made the trip worthwhile... will not go out of my way to visit the store again, but will continue my association with the mail order side of the operation...

I got a letter from Cabelas the other day that said someone had tried to use my Cabelas Visa and they caught them and were dealing with it. They were sending me a new card. THat made me feel good that someone is looking out for me.

DougMD 03-29-2005 10:38 AM

RE: Cabela's or Basspro
 
I live right near a BassPro and am disappointed with their selection and service, so I would say Cabela's is better.

Cabelas basspo realy droped off my list.I had a problem they did not want to return it BUT sand it back to the factary.

Cabelas all the way....but I must say Bass Pro does have some good deals one in awhile!

Definitely Cabela's. We drove 5 hours to check out the store in Hamburg, Pa. It was incredible.

RE: Cabela's or Basspro
 
Cabella's is definitely the best for hunting & camping, Bass Pro for fishing

Cabelas.


Bass pro is good but they are not in our area. If I had to choose one it would be Cabela's Just wish they had a better Archery dept.

RE: Cabela's or Basspro
 
I mostly go to Cabelas cuz for me it is so much closer, but if they were in the same location, I agree with some... Cabelas for hunting and Bass Pro for fishing.

Cabelas all the way. They have much better customer service and a much better hunting and reloading section. They also have what Bass Pro should and that is a rod building section.

NewbHunter 05-10-2005 12:43 PM

RE: Cabela's or Basspro
 
Well down here in FL we dont have any Cabelas so i would have to say Bass Pro until i check out a Cabelas.
