RUMOR: Bass Pro buyout of Cabelas was finalized this week

[Jefe's AR]

In my experience, lately, Bass Pros CS is head and shoulders above Cabelas. I can't get arrested in Cabelas.

Honestly I dont shop at either. I dont think I have ever bought from BassPro and only been there once. Cabelas I have been to a half dozen times in the last 20 years. In the 80s I would go to the bargain basement in Nebraska. Most of my shopping is online or Sportsmans.

All of these places are funny. You walk in and at least 30-40 percent of the store is dedicated to clothing with their logo on it. I cant believe people pay good money so a large corporation can advertise for free, wait not free you pay them to advertise for them. crazy.

Same here HBAR, I remember going to Sydney with my Grandparents to shop a Cabela's downtown there. Being a Nebraska implant I have a fondness for Cabeala's and I hate to see Ass Pro take over. I do spend money at Cabela's (I have like $200 in points), again I have a fondness for them. ProMotive and Amazon however get most of my business anymore.

I guess I can hope for a going out of business or store closing sale.
