Bass Pro to Buy Cabelas?

[bferg]

I get it- it isn't cheap.  But the quality of the Cabela's apparel is MUCH higher than BPS (in my opinion).  They have more stuff that is fitted, and just higher quality in general.  I have been very impressed with all the apparel I have bought from Cabela's for both hunting and fishing.  (But I don't have any $50 t-shirts- from anywhere)

Cabela's has had a lot more sales the last year than in the past. When I lived in MN, we were not far from what I believe was their first store outside of Nebraska, in Owatonna. It was so rare to see anything on sale in there. Now in the Rogers, AR store, it's very common to see sale and clearance racks.

I also like Cabela's over BPS. And it's funny Stump how I find Cabela's pricing a bit better than BPS, in fishing and hunting gear, not so much apparel. And Cabela's branded stuff are higher quality than the Redhead stuff in BPS, but that's rather subjective depending on who you ask. Just my experience anyways.

I really don't buy much at either place, since Cabela's opened I have bought a total of 4 pks of jig heads and 2 spoons from there and one shirt that was on clearance out side the store. The last fishfinder I bought was off Walmart.com. Maybe it is just the fact that Bass Pro is more local and back in the days before the internet it was the bass pro catalog that I would order from even though I always got both. I did stop by and looked for some Z-man stuff the other day and they were out, then stopped by HL&S and they had plenty of what I was looking for and it made me wonder why I even drove over to Cabela's in the first place.

Don't you love it when anonymous sources start talking about buyouts?

The deal has gotten a lot more expensive since it was first talked about last fall. Cabela's stock price bottomed out at $33 in October. Trading at $52 recently.

No wonder Ness has been drinking Champagne and eating Crab legs lately.

Not sure the SEC will let that happen.

If the SEC welcomed Missouri, then they won't care about Bass Pro + Cabelas.

(wait for it....)

That's funny, but I do remember a time when Arkansas got in and we felt like we were fortunate to get in it.
