Avery's replacement policy cost them their account with Cabela's. I really like my Pro-Grades but I have all the Pro-Grades I need for now.

Not true at all. I worked as a manager for Cabela's and was directly involved in the waterfowl roll when they moved to the new "Northern Flight" complete waterfowl line. Cabelas desire to increase margins cost Avery their account, it had nothing to do with Avery as a company. When cabelas rolled out the entire line of their "Northern Flight" Cabela's store brand, they chose to get rid of their biggest competitor, Avery. No other brand makes an all-inclusive waterfowl line like Avery, so when Cabela's decided to do just that, they made the logical decision to not sell their direct competition. I am 100% positive on this.

Bottom line: Cabela's makes more selling Cabela's branded decoys, weights, line, game straps, chairs, layouts, etc. than they do selling Avery, so they got rid of Avery.

Not sure I completely trust someone who doesn't know the difference between roll and role but I can say I got my info from a very high source at Avery. Surely you can't deny that Avery's strict return policy didn't factor in. Mack's even bad mouths Avery's policy.

Sorry I don't speak retail jargoneese. I was using standard English. Perhaps if I understood your were involved in the "rollout" of the new waterfowl gear and products it would have been more clear. I'll try to read between the lines more carefully next time.
