Cabela's opened their biggest retail store about an hour from me in Hamburg, Pa. back in 2003. It's 250,000 square feet and you could spend most of a day there just sight-seeing. There is a huge walk-thru aquarium stocked with some of the biggest native species I've ever seen, very interesting. There is a giant-sized indoor mountain with full-body mounts of most North-American species. A large trout pond stocked with all the native species of trout with a huge, full-body moose mount standing in it and a bridge going across it. The trophy room has dozens and dozens of head mounts of the biggest whitetail ever taken in North-America.
It's really something to see. Been there numerous times. Awesome place.

Hedge fund kills Cabela’s, decimates rural economy video explaining how Paul Singer killed Cabela’s and the impact it had. It finally made bigger national news when Tucker Carlson featured it on his show. For those of you that didn’t know what all went on leading up to the Bass Pro buyout, it’s worth the watch. Was devastating for our friends in western Nebraska. Tucker does a great job.

I stopped buying from them years ago. They were to high priced for me.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

It's really something to see. Been there numerous times. Awesome place. X3. Also been there several times since I once lived only one hour from it. . I thought all Cabela’s stores were like that one until I visited my second Cabela’s store here in Idaho Falls. I sure was disappointed.

The Bass Pro version of that is in Springfield MO. Its pretty cool. They've added a petting zoo since I've been there last. We stay in Branson for a few days and do a Bass Pro day. Highly recomend it. One of the best fisheries / fishing places I know about. Cabela's opened their biggest retail store about an hour from me in Hamburg, Pa. back in 2003. It's 250,000 square feet and you could spend most of a day there just sight-seeing.

Was devastating for our friends in western Nebraska. Tucker does a great job. This is what I meant when I said Cabela's screwed up when they went public in 2003. When you take your company public it can mean a huge injection of capital but it also makes it possible for vulture capitalists like Paul Singer to buy in and eventually takeover. As far as I know, Bass Pro is still a private company?
Eh...wot?
