This is fantastic news. Now I can stop by when I'm driving through on business and drop off the 4,000 pounds of paper catalogs I get every year

+ can walk through store and ogle everything in person

- now have to pay CT sales tax. Guess larger ticket items go to bass pro shops.

Thumbs up the aquarium

is as important for educational purpouses as is the availability of
tackle....but whether its cabelas or #^&#^&#^&#^&s...they dont give the personalized service the small shops do. I just think its a good stab in petas back and very much needed they way it will promote hunting and fishing

Ive been to both a Cabelas and a Bass Pro, they are great stores no doubt. But like it was said before you dont ge the service you get at a small shop. Cant really see b'sing with the sales clerk at cabelas. They are good to shop around in and see whats new, but can ya really see them having an Afterhours spook, a dozen eels and the ability to fix your abu on the spot, within like 5 minutes. They will do well im sure, but there are too many reasons to list to shop at the local level.

Everything is better on the rocks.
