| - Oh good lord I've fallen into good ole boy redneck heaven and I can't get out! If you can hunt it, shoot it, catch it, eat it or stuff it and that doesn't make you say, "Awww, poor (insert name of critter here)" then THIS is your store.
Before moving east I'd never seen or even heard of Bass Pro Shops and even though I don't believe in hunting I have to say, this place is pretty impressive. I've been here for gifts and they have it all. Really. ALL. If they don't have it, they'll get it. Even better, the staff knows their stuff. Prices run from affordable to "Holy crap! Do people really pay that much just to fish?????" (Ya, they do and after my first catch/release fly fishing excursion, I sorta see why.)
Not only is this store good shopping but it is awesome for kids. It's like backwoods Disneyland. The huge, and I mean MONSTROUS, aquarium is stocked w/an impressive variety of fish, including one catfish that could easily swallow my toddler. Kids can spend hours here looking at the fish, exploring the aisles and trying the shooting gallery. It really is kinda a win/win for couples/kids. Mom can shop (cause really, we can find something to buy *anywhere*), dad can shoot guns & feel like a manly hunter/provider and the kids are amused. Even better, exit into the mall and go left for ice cream or right for chocolate. Score!
