bigwagonLegend: Man flies helicopter to Cabela's
The drive was too long.

Too bad I missed it. I was running an errand about 5 minutes away from there and thought about popping over to check out the Gun Library, but I copped out.

slosigI dunno about helicopters, but you can legally land fixed wing aircraft most anywhere you can safely do so, provided that you have the landowner’s permission. Unless the rules are different for helos, this could be a sticking point.

TMatsToo bad he didn’t fly to what used to be the Mother Ship of Cabela’s, Sidney, Nebraska. Now that a VC forced the sale to Bass Pro, he could have set it down about anywhere around the store. Before that camping, hunting, and fishing enthusiasts from all over the country made it a point to stop there.

Scooter123I have to ask. Why would anyone want to go to Bass Pro. Note it doesn't matter if the sign out front say's Cabela's, walk in the front door and you will find Bass Pro. I will also note that in Michigan Gun Libraries are a Cabela's thing and these are all Bass Pro.

Sometimes you need lures and such. I don't care to patronize them either, but Sportsman's Warehouse ain't a whole lot better.
What I don't understand, is why these retail folks don't just keep doing what worked. Money, I guess. The root of all evil.
