Bass Pro Ruined Cabelas, now they are going to ruin Sportsman warehouse.... This is worst news of the day.

If any of you saw,what actually happened at cabelas....it was a hostile takeover by a guy that has been doing the Wolf of Wall Street crap...
Buy in...over power the the ownership and sell it off....
Seems this particular guy has killed many businesses just like cabelas..
He ought to drug behind a fast horse and then tarred and feathered...

Literally like Walmart for first time hunters. Sportsman's was decent but now that's over.

My local Sportsmans is where I can find a popular powder occasionally and possibly a box or two of bullets. Bought some camo for a friend for deer season at a reasonable price. I haven't been to the local Cabelas since BP took over. Friends say they have nothing they need and everything is overpriced crap. It's next to the Cardinals stadium and Westgate entertainment district, lots of tourists buying the garbage there. All the Cabelas employees were given the shaft!

I'm sure they go downhill like cabelas did and BP already was. Sad deal

Was about to say the same. Use to love cabelas now I can't stand it because it's filled with all the red head crap and their customer service had went to crap since the merger. I'm worried sportsman's will be the same.

I'm in SoCal and the Bass Pro has been very good to local conservation groups with letting us use their facilities. Unfortunately they are just a cheap Chinese clothing, ToysRUs and candy store as so eloquently stated above.

I visited Cabelas in Grand Junction Co. yesterday. NO ARs, Very few Hand guns, and lots of bare shelves where Reloading Components and Ammo should be.

I visited Sportsman's Warehouse in Ft Wayne IN yesterday. Exactly the same situation as you described for Cabelas.

I suspect Sportsman's won't be re-stocking inventory with the sale looming.

Sad news indeed.

The south Denver (Sheridan) Sportsman's has now consolidated all of their bullet/reloading aisle into a tiny space. What was once a jammed aisle of bullets, primers and brass is now condensed into 1 four foot shelving section. The rest of the aisle is all space-filler stuff like targets and so forth.

I agree that their re-stocking shipments are probably going to be minimal - at best - until the sale is completed.
