how is cabelas as far as waterfowling gear?

I like Cabelas brand gear for waterfowl. I have never been to Cabelas in BR though. I order it online and Cabelas brand strikes me as much better made and durable versus bass pro.

even worse for us up here in Nebraska, they will shut down the offices in Lincoln and out in Sidney. And once the office in Sidney goes down, I assume they kill off the store as well, and that town will die a swift death like many other towns out in Western Nebraska have.

Bass Pro Shops said it plans to maintain Cabela's operations in Sidney and Lincoln, Neb. "and hopes to continue the very favorable connections to those communities and the Cabela’s team members residing there."

Perhaps for 6 months to a year, but not long term..

Heard talk the Cabelas would be rebranded and the BPS will be shuttered due to population shite out of area from the flood. This is preliminary and nothing is set in stone but analyst reports are expected to be finished by 1st quarter. Gonzales store sales have plummeted

They need a mid range brand
