Hey, you New England guys need to come to NY and PA to shoot some of our turkeys. They are EVERYWHERE!!

I have been to the Auburn BP Shop and it is nice. Nothing like Cabelas though. We have all the turkeys anyone could ask for around here and not as many people hunting them.

I'll correct you there. Kearney, NE was their first store. If you think Sidney is small, wait 'til you go to Kearney!!!!! It is just like shopping in a regular store. The ceilings are so low that a full body elk mount that theyhave is touching the ceiling. It is not the display heaven that the new stores are, with the mountain and everything.

Love your state. I used to go skydiving at Addison (near the south end of the lake). I will definitely have to get to a Cabelas, then.

I know the place where you sky dived. I used to fish crappie in the spring just down the road near the backwaters of Hospital creek. A ton of Turkey down that way too in addition to lots of deer.
You must be right. I hit the La Vista store last year going out to Colorado and it was bigger than Sydney but smaller than the new big ones they are putting up. It isn't fair....Nebraska has 3 stores and we don't have one in all of New England.

Yeah, and Denveris getting one later this spring too!!!! I will have 4 Cabela's stores within 6 hours of me!!!!!

Lucky for a lot of reasons. Mostly though to be able to hunt the Rockys without driving for 3 days.

I started this thread because of the new Cabelas in New England, East Hartford, CT. It is a large store, with a mountain in the middle, full body mounts, aquariums with trout, bass, pike, HUGE crappie, etc. It also has full bodied African game, including a full elephant mount. It has a CT wildlife "museum" with full bodied whitetail, bear, and turkey mounts with an animatronic tour guide that talks... I guess I'll have to "forget" to mail away for my turkey tags in time for the season and make another trip there to see if they have more calls and gear out. Busted my 2nd HS Strut stool 2 years in a row, time for a new one...

I'll have to check that store out. To be honest I didn't know they had one there in CT. I know what it is like to break some favorite gear. I have gone through a few box calls and my best crystal because I sat down on them wrongwhen they were in my turkey vest pocket. I have a Buck Lick Creek with a built in self contained seat. You have to unbuckle the vest to get the seat down and sometimes when I am in a hurry to get set up I forget to pull the sides away from the seat. That crunch makes me shudder.
