Review from Otis M.

If the idea of a huge building stuffed with magnificent examples of taxidermy, including an entire African elephant, freaks you out, then drive on, my friend. But you like outdoor sports that sometimes have a bit of blood and guts attached, and you are headed down I-80, this is a must. (There are multiple Cabela's retail locations and others may be even larger but this is the world headquarters, enough said.)
All the usual Cabela's stuff is there and you can touch it and check it out and buy if you like without a shipping charge. There is also a bunch of value shopping. I found the cheap hiking boots I did NOT find at Sierra Trading in Cheyenne by looking in the "bargain cave"--$119 leather high tops for $50. And there are bins of really, really cheap stuff like summer water gear they are heavily discounting now that the season is 2/3 over.
My 12 year old was in heaven getting a bow custom strung for him so he could take shots in the archery range. We were both proud that after the first shot the employee said "I can see you know what you are doing" and stepped back. Value of the bow he'll ask his mother to buy online: $125. Value of nicking deer target in the heart: priceless.
There was a music event the night we were here and a sidewalk sale the next day and we were tempted to just book a room across the freeway, but had to move on. But our two hours in Cabela's are likely the high point of our coast to coast trip. -

Cabela's is the premier website for sportsmen to buy supplies online. Their prices are great especially if you shop from the Bargain Cave section of the site like I do.
I've bought some shirts from them and I've been happy with what I bought but there are two points that should be noted.
One is that they are really thick. Great for the northern part of America but not so necessary in NorCal. They are well made though and this observation has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
The other thing is that my size is XLT and the while the torso of the shirts are plenty long the sleeves tend to run average length. Even with an extra large tall my sleeves are still too short and I'm not exactly gorilla man.
It's a great place to save some cash when you buy your outdoor gear. -

WOW, i'm really suprised there's no review's for this place yet!! This store is increadable!! A sportsmans toy store. Word's can hardly describe what to expect when you walk in-but if your in a hurry, go to a box store because one can lose track of the hour's walking around this place!!

*******Review is of http://Cabelas.com order I placed, not of a particular location********
I purchased 2 Columbia all weather jackets from http://Cabelas.com months ago. My husband's shipped out in about 2 weeks but over a month later, mine still showed, "backordered, will ship when available." Another month later, I received an email saying they no longer carried my jacket and the order was cancelled. Two weeks after that, my husband ran across my exact jacket (same item # and everything) on their website but it was much more expensive. I sent my order information with the link to the product now available to their customer service people and asked if they would please ship out my jacket now that it was available and was told that my order was cancelled and I would have to reorder it at the higher price. Um? Excuse me? He was very discourteous and I'm glad I had everything he said in writing. I decided to print out the email string between Cabela's customer service and myself, my original order email, my order cancellation email and their website showing the product in stock but at a higher price. It's now 5 months later and I get a phone call from their "Executive Customer Service" person Sandy who received the letter I sent to Tommy Milner, their CEO and was going to do me the big freaking favor of allowing me to order the jacket at the price that I should have received it at 6 months ago. Not only was she going to ALLOW me to buy it again at the same price, but she was going to allow me to pay for shipping too! How wonderful is that!? I was so upset I didn't know what to say. I calmly told her that I knew she was just the messenger, but their customer service was horrendous and I didn't appreciate them telling me that they were "doing me this big favor" by allowing me to buy something that I bought months ago. I told her that I live in Texas and it's HOT now. She didn't really seem to care - I'm one little drip in their big ocean of customers but honestly, if that's how little the CEOs office takes to valid concerns from paying customers, I will NEVER EVER do business with them again and I will let everyone know of my dissatisfaction to make sure others know that they don't care a lick about their customers.
I wish I could give them 0 stars -- they don't even deserve the one. -

In a 1961 Casper, Wyoming newspaper ad Dick Cabela
came up with a plan to sell fishing flies.
He offered 12 hand-tied flies for $1.
That generated one response.
The rest is history.
Entertaining catalog to view.
Sparks up conversation whenever I look at it.
Love those long-johns! WOW. -

not nearly as cool as it used to be, and not as much merchandise as i thought they would have, considering how big the store is. great products though!

bad experience ordering online. the items i wanted were listed as in stock. my order went through. then nothing happened. i contacted them later and the order was canceled due to lack of inventory and they didn't even inform me of it. refuse to shop here again and i'm telling everyone else to beware.
