So off to NY and Washington next week have permission from the good wife to take a side trip to Bass Pro:O_O:
What to buy!!!!!??
Ideas well appreciated, don't need any rifles shotguns:ORLY:
But have a trip to Stewart island coming up next year so any suggestion would be welcome, ideas:)
SS turkey cooker. Not heavy but big volume. Great for crays, mussels, turkeys, chickens, wings, crabs...... oil/ water base, just a big pot with a huge flame and big pot above.
might pay to troll their website to refine your search a bit/get them to collect you a pile of bits so you can just ogle without stressing to find X or Y
from what my dad said its overwhelming
magizines are cheep as chips, there the ones that hold bullets not the paper variety
open them and drop them in the bottom of your bag
depends what you need really
i went to the one in las vegas, bloody amazing i was int there 3 hours on 2 separate days.
i think cabellas is a little cheaper though.
I used to work at the one in Calgary (2009-2010).
they are a great place to buy accessories like shooting aides, hearing protection, rifle add-ons, reloading stuff, etc. oh and cheap novelty hats and t shirts
hunting clothing is generally pretty good value as well but a lot of it isn't well suited to nz style of hunting.
camping and fishing gear is well priced too so you can find some good deals there.
generally hunting / shooting kit is slightly better by way of range and price at Cabelas.
cheaper than nz by a lot, but not as cheap as some other store in the US.

Hunting on Stewart island.... Need a new wetsuit! :thumbsup:
Year I'm more going for the spectacle of it!:ORLY:
Might also get some reloading stuff.
Then there's always a jacket I can get....ummmmm
I'll post some pics and see if the wife kicks me out in under three hours:o:yuush::P
I bought at bass pro in Florida a cameo mosquito net complete suit. It packs up super compact when you don't need it and can be worn over normal clothing and be fitted in a couple of minutes.
It is used by the guys hunting in the swamp in Florida and Louisiana and also by the guys hunting in Alaska .
That would be a perfect items against the sand flies in Stuart island.
I went to the one in Anchorage a couple of months ago. Didn’t see it all in one day, will that was my excuse to go back :)
The taxidermy is pretty impressive.
What to buy?......everything, they have things we only dream of.
good for brewing beer also!Quote:

Honestly honey the guys on the forum said there was a rum section in this store;)
Where all in the shit now boys;)
I've found the stuff made in the US is usually well priced when you are in the US (sort of no shit sherlock!)
That said, optics can be a good buy, especially leupold.
Mostly I end up buying nick nacks that will be be handy one day, just don't know when. Bass Pro and Cabelas are also responsible for a fair old collection of knives too.
Oh and Avery products. I was in the Memphis Bass Pro during their duck season, I've never seen so many deeks and duck related gear.
As someone said , you can always order on line and collect in store too.
Mrs Imaca likes Bass Pro too, they seem to have good leasure gear that is not camo or green.
I believe that the guy who owns Bas Pro has recently purchased Cabelas.
Oh and prices are before tax which always catches me by surprise
Enjoy.
Hey thanks for the heads up on the before Tax @imaca :O_O:that would have well and truly caught me out!

:wtfsmilie:
Went last month to the one in Memphis, and Dallas (or was it cabellas?). Awesome time, was in the Memphis one 4-5 hours. I Remember any handgun or gun you want to hold they are happy for this and even encourage you to do so.
Yeah... the tax thing caught me out aswell until we went to checkout.
We went to the Basspro in Los Angeles and just the taxidermy displays in both the fishing and hunting sections is worth the visit... take your camera!!!
We spent half the day there buying stuff and even had dinner there in the restaurant/bar
Great place... will go again.
Man can you imagine them naming it fishing and hunting drive our gun city drive:XD:;)

Good experience but I found this shop had limited stock of reloading kit.
I did get a few things. But would shop off the internet in future.
Ha ha ha ha I feel the need to google them now.
They also have a here own brands so if your looking for a Something specific you might be hard pushed to find it.
I wanted some K&M reloading kit no go and also when I looked in the clothing line a lot of there own stuff.
But these socks are the business :thumbsup:

Bit late I know but a good idea is to hit the returns section. there you will find stuff that "didnt fit" "not as advertised" etc at a real knock down pirce.
The one in Fort Worth would be the size of a H & F shop here ( the returns section )
