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.

One thing I have noticed is that none of the stores have all the stuff in the catalogue. On numerous occasions I have tried to shop at the stores and either they are out of my size or the items in the catalogue weren't on the floor. I usually do all my ordering from the internet at Cabelas.com. Still fun to visit the stores. My biggest disappointment was visiting the Sydney NE. store which was their original. I thought it was really small and limited as compared to some of the others that are 3 times the size.

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'll correct you there. Kearney, NE was their first store. If you think Sidney is small, wait 'til you go to Kearney

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.

RE: Disapointed in Cabelas
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.
