We were at Gander Mountain last week and noticed all the mounts (deer cat's coyote's)were gone .We ask the manager what happened to them and he said .All mounts have been removed because they don't want to offend anyone .That was his exact words .We called the main office in North Carolina and got the same story.They said it was nation wide and had complaints from animal rights organizations .This is a hunting store. Sounds like more Obamanomics to me .Check your local stores and see what they say.If this is true Gander Mountain will never get another dollar of my money .Thank God we will have a new Cabela's soon. Good Luck

I was told acustomer was injured when one fell from the wall. Maybe true, maybe not? I think more customers are more offended by their high prices! They need to take those down too!

their prices are very high

I did notice the mounts gone at the Sugar Land location. They call that store "Broke Back Mountain" for being such whims and not standing up to whom they cater. The way they are going, I give them maybe few more years before they go out of business.

And yes prices are very high.

I went to Gander Mountain for the first time and I absolutely had a terrible experience. The gun selection was HUGE, and AMAZING, but they had ONE salesman available. One! After taking a number and waiting patiently for 45 minutes I asked for the manager, who ended up being discourteous and rude. I'm never ever going back to that store.

Guys this is not about prices .It's about having a backbone and not caving in to political pressures .

I think they should get rid of all the animal mounts.
It offends me. They are there for the purpose of mocking me and my inability to harvest such animals. It is just shameful.

Dont have a Gander Mtn here, that I know of, definitely wont be looking for one now

I'll find out if the one in Lubbock is void of mounts.

lubbock is the one he's talking about

There is a Bass Pro in pearland with tons of mounts, I will see what they do about it. I really hope they don't take em down though.

How much do you suppose Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc spend on all those trophy mounts, fish tanks, and waterfalls?

I would rather they just have lower prices.

In Amarillo the mounts got taken down because they were mainly one guys, and he was just letting them use them. And since they remodeled, they had to take them down. And btw, the main store is not in north Carolina, gander is headquartered out of st Paul Minnesota.

They'll never get a dime of my money either. Not because of their mounts, because of their incredibly high prices.

I doubt obama had anything to do with little old gander mountain.

Obama is evil, and so is this.

My wife bought a box of Hornady 25-06, 90 grain ammo for me as a little surprise. (she's kind that way). Anyway, I thanked her very much and took it back to Gander Mountain the next day because I shoot 117 grain. I finally got to speak with a salesperson who said that only the manager could approve the exchange. They are on the shelf next to each other at the same price. Anyway, the manager was "unavailable". He has been for the past week. That's the last money they'll get from me.

I will say that I went into Academy looking for some pretty common .243 ammo. Naturally they were out so I drove all the way across town to Gander Mountain. They had it and several choices at that. No, they weren't cheap, but at least I left with some ammo.
The racks of ammo where full unlike my local Academy, which seems to always be out of what I need, when I need it.

There is no refunds in ammunition. I got two boxes of Prvi Partizan soft point of 7.62x39mm and they are a lot shorter than any other round in the same caliber. They will not take them back.

Most stores have a no return policy on ammo.

I stopped shopping there awhile ago. Can't stand their service, the employees are worse than used car salesmen. I went in there to look at shotguns and the guy immediately pulls out a Beneli and tells me "If a hunter shoots anything else, they shouldn't call themselves a hunter." What a jackass, they just push the most expensive rifle no matter what. If I shop at any big corp. store its either academy or cabelas, in my experience both have great customer service; however, I have heard stories that cabelas has been slipping up.

But yeah, why any animal rights activist would go into a hunting store is beyond me, no one is forcing them to go in. I would be surprised if in a couple of years Gander Mountain cuts their firearm sales and becomes a camping and outdoor "outfitter" rather than the store they are.

Well now I need to buy another rifle. I'm stuck with 2 boxes of ammo.
