It's a multi-story emporium that glorifies killing defenseless creatures for sport -- and for being dressed to kill while doing it. Folks had told me "it's like a museum." Not so. It's more a shrine for taxidermists than a stop to glean scientific/cultural knowledge. It's a garish retail megastore promoting crass consumption of useless, made-in-China crap, or must-have-but-can't-afford-it-put-it-on-the-credit-card-anyway stupidity.
Adventures in dining -- who knows what you might be served!
Yes, it even has a "practice range" for the kiddies. Start 'em early, I guess.
And an indoor archery range.
There wouldn't be a place like this if it didn't target a feasible demographic. It is not my desire to offend that demographic; but, excuse me, this obscene, over-the-top 185,000 s.f. retail extravagance certainly offended my own "delicate" sensibilities!!
In all fairness, however, it did sell LOTS of other outdoorsy stuff -- anything you could possibly wish for, for every possible outdoor endeavor. I stocked up on Spice Drops!!

I thought it was Cabelas. I'm still haunted by the eyes staring at me there. It was worse than an animal shelter.
Hear hear Lorna on your uppity 'rant' on Cabela's. Hilarious, sad, and deserved. Our credit card was indeed vibrating in our wallet from visions of homemade jerky and organic dehydrated veggies. Fine in themselves but at the prices of the supplies to make them?
Our feet have never again crossed their threshold.
