I got to agree with Salty, yeah they had a lot of nice stuff but the clothes were way over priced.
I like the BPS much better.

There is one by me in E. Hartford, Ct. I purchased a couple of things there. Only on sale stuff. I got a 79.00 pair of wader boots, for 29.00 bucks on clearance.
I think their cust. service is nill. I think they do well on presentation, though.

You guys saved me a lot of gas money. I was going to head up to Cabelas for Xmas shopping for the family. My wife really likes their clothing for women. Figured I'd save the shipping charges over ordering from the catalog.
Thanks for the advice.

That's pretty much what I said. BTW this thread wasn't put here to discourage people from going. Maybe the place appeals to others but after walking around the place for an hour neither of us felt that there was any decent pricing to be had. This place definitely isn't about $29 wader boots it's more about $3k gun safes, doggy beds, Chinese doodad gifts, and $250 machine made duck decoys. It just didn't appeal to me or John. Neither of us thought the $20 price for a simple knit hat filled with tissue paper was warranted either. Kids would probably have fun seeing all the stuffed animals/thousand gallon aquarium for sure while the parents walk around but that would be the only draw if you can call it that.

Just buy online or from the catalog. Who goes to malls or mega stores anymore? I haven't been to a mall in years. I don't like the drive, the parking, the hassle, the friggin mob of people, the clerks who know far less than you do about the stuff in the store, the prices or the lack of selection. The last time I went to a giant store was about 3 years ago and that was the first time in about 4 years before that. IMO malls and giant stores are a waste of time and money. There are a couple of exceptions...I do go to a HomeDepot and a BJ's a couple of times a year.
