| - If you're in it for the experience, Cabela's is totally worth it. There aren't many other stores where you can walk around and see beautifully-taxidermied wildlife staring at you from appropriate scenery. The store itself is impressive, too, with products as far as the eye can see and some nice lodgey architecture. Oh, right, and the gun gallery has some beautiful guns the price of the car you drove to get there.
As far as a place to actually shop, though, it's a little more hit or miss. Their camping selection is mediocre and their tent selection is abysmal. Archers are better served with local archery shops and shooters are better served with local gun shops. Cargo management is basically non-existent. (So when Cabela's argued the store wouldn't impact local businesses a whole lot... They were right.)
If you need CLOTHING, on the other hand... Now we're talking. Whatever you need, Cabela's has got it in spades. Shorts, shirts, waders, camo, pants, balaclavas, socks, thermal underwear, and more! If you can't find the outdoor wear you're looking for, you're either not trying or you require freak sizes like me. And Cabela's does have some stuff in sizes that suit the tall crowd--just not a lot.
Go, enjoy the sights, and maybe buy some clothes for your next adventure. Just don't go there expecting amazing prices or to check everything off your outdoor shopping list.
