Would it surprise ya to learn that that "elk meat sandwich" was from a fenced in, farm raised animal? Beef would be as good or better. We're moving closer and closer to the point where, by advertising, we can be placated and made complacent by profit minded mega stores providing us a false image of down home wholesomeness and wilderness.

Talking

I like our Williams gunsight store in Davison. They know me by name and give me a 10% discount for being a vetran. They even know what scope mounts a Remington 700 uses. More than the people at Cabela's knew.

Why does this happen in EVERY thread? Why does there have to be a grumpy wart in every thread? Case study on one bad side-effect of free speech. We're forced to listen to the grumpies....

Look at the first thread. Dave was happy that he was able to visit the new Cabela's. Thanks for turning it around, hijacking and making it political.

ETA....and I guess all of the beef you eat is free ranged, right? Who cares it is farm raised elk? It's still tasty. Sheeeez.

The Cabela stores are very cool to spend a few hours looking around, but the Bass Pro Shops prices are more in line with my budget. I always wondered how much money Cabelas spent on purchasing their taxidermy record Deer.

Cabelas came to Utah too

We have recently been gifted with the biggest retail store east of the Mississippi. I think we not only got the store, but but all the clientel from all the western states moved here too. The store has helped our un-employment rate go down by hiring many to run the place. There is also alot more
STUFF for all the outdoor enthusiasts.
