I am sticking with Bass Pro. Cabela's and Gander Mountain do not offer military discount (last time I was in either store was over 10 years ago), but they do offer discounts to police and fire...which is good for those guys.

Personally I'm glad they removed them. Pictures of living are better to me than a dead carcass. Wrapping flesh over a decoy is disrespectful to the kill. I try to respect every kill with max meat harvest. Using a animal for food and warmth is how I best see to honor something when you end it's life.

I went in to the new one in Lewisville several weeks ago. I wont be back, let me tell you why..
I found some .22 mag ammo and decided to pick up two boxes. At the check out counter the cashier wanted to know my birthday, ( for the record you can tell im past 21 and allowed to buy alcohol and ammo), so, never having been asked that before at ANY other place when Im buying ammo( yes I know its a law, but really?), I tell her, THEN she asked me what am i using the ammo for, a rifle or handgun? I ask her why she needs to know that. She says, well they are required to ask, " It's in the computer system so I have to ask " , I tell her its none of their business which type of firearm im using this for. She wont check me out unless i tell her. So I ask for a manager, but one never shows up...so, i told her to type in whatever she thought was best. I will never give them another nickel of my money. PERIOD

lubbock is the one he's talking about

I shop Gander Mt. and Academy in Tyler and want both to stay in business and do well.

She had my birthday already, i was old enough to buy EITHER one, it served no purpose to know which one, so, I call BS. Not having a manager available to answer my questions was also a big problem.
Having read the other posts about removing the mounts just adds to my reasons for NOT EVER GOING BACK.
