Stop Shopping at Bass Pro
 

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but just went into Bass Pro online shopping and a pop-up banner came up thanking me for supporting the ASPCA by shopping at Bass Pro; and then disappeared after a few seconds. Why would Bass Pro partner and/or have their name associated with an anti-hunting organization; let alone allow a portion of the money spent go towards its support?

I would ask Bass Pro that exact question while I am willing to bet they do not support that organization but the popup was attached to keywords used to get to the Bass Pro website.

I have seen it more than one time.

Send Bass Pro an e-mail inquiry.

Just my buck 250!

Hmm, just went there and didnt see anything pop up. Maybe i got a good ad blocker.

Do know Bass Pro headquarters did say they dont support those types of groups in the past.

Have you scanned your PC recently.

Bonjour...

If you saw it on the Internet, it must be true!!! :) :) :)

Try some other hunting-related sites - if you get a similar popup then it is very likely you have an animal-rights version of malware. A way to get rid of it is to do a system restore while in SAFE mode. Assuming you do not have Windows 8, you get safe mode by simply pressing your power button in for 10 seconds. Upon restart, you will have the safe mode option and once in safe mode an option for a system restore will pop up. Unfortunately, however, many malware programs will erase previous restore points. Or you could do an anti-virus scan with whatever program you use.

I would highly recomend a virus scan first and foremost before ever doing a restore point. That is unless the drivers are affected and your are noticing issue. Malwarebytes is a good program but heard their recent version tries to add third party programs so wont endorse it until i get back in and re verify the accuracy of that statement.

It is a fact that bass pro credit cards are now through Bank of America, the same bank that after the shootings in December when the president started yelling for strickter gun laws froze some gun manufactures bank accounts because they believed they should'nt be manufacturing and selling those evil black guns. As soon as I learned of this I cancelled my BP account and let bass pro know why. As expected no response from BP. After all Im just 1 customer and dont matter.

Yep, sounds fishy.

Bass Pro associating itself with an anti group?

I doubt it but I could be wrong.

I personally have met many of the higher ups at BP great group of people who truly believe in our second ammendment and conservation. I would not be so quick to judge internet advertising is often not the choice of the chosen site. We all have the right to buy from wherever we want but BP although like any large company has its flaws truly believes in the hunting tradition gun ownership and family values.

The springfield store just opened an incredible NRA museam and Archery hall of fame.

I really think you are misled but who knows. I do not think they would support anti hunting!!!!!!

A few months ago I got a statement for my BP card saying that it was now going to be a Bank of America Bass Pro card, I am 100% sure of that. And then posted and asked on another hunting forum to be sure that I wasn't wrong about what I had read on Drudge Report about what Bank of America had done and was told there I was correct. So I dont think I have been misled.
If someone researches this and finds me to be wrong please let me know as i too find it hard to believe that BP would knowingly support such an instatution. But again I never got a reply when I asked them directly through an e-mail.

People got so much time on their hands,...
 

the end of the world is surely in sight.

Well played sir! :)

Bass pro credit card is definitely through boa. I don't go to bass pro regularly its kinda far when gander mountain is right up the street. But last time I was there was fathers day weekend and they offered one. Figured Id sign up and load up while I was down there when I was told and read it was through BOA, I declined. Not due to them having anti gun sentiment, I didn't know that, Just cause bad business with Bank of America in the past. By the way, thanks for one more reason to dislike BOA.

I dont mind buying a few things in-store. I always like walking around and getting a few essentials here and there. Dreaming about the deer on the wall isn't bad either.

I did order a bow case from them at the beginning or August and called and called it last week. It was on back order and still hadn't been shipped after a month. I called and cancelled it. If its going to be on backorder for more than a month they should really keep you updated.

I'm leaning more towards Cabelas anyways. They sent me a hard cover hunting catalog last year that was very nice. I think they'll get my mail order business now if I have to by from the big box stores.

it was prob a pop up that had nothing to do with bass pro. ya never know you can always ask somehow. but its not that big of a deal if your not against it

I boycotted them after they screwed me, that was years ago.

Now that's 2!:biggrin:
