I went in a Sportsman's Warehouse for the first time today. Not impressed at all. I thought all their prices were high and they didn't have any .30-06 shells.

Actually, it's Dicks Sporting Goods and Sportsman Warehouse that are affiliated. Sportsman Warehouse bought all the shotting supplies from Dicks Sporting Goods in California when the guns and ammo laws got so strickled that Decks didn't want deal with it anymore.

Sorry, but you're mistaken ! Cabela's first bought out BPS, then took up Sportsman's Warehouse ! I've been
a customer for several years and know several of the employees -
I first read it on 'Google', then it was verified by two people I knew !

I hey to tell you this but your mistaken BPS bought out Cabela's not the other way around and if you go to their websites there is no mention of Sportsman's Warehouse being own or bought by them and same thing if you go to Sportsman's Warehouse website there is no mention of BPS and Cabela's buying them out. And to also to let you know that I had read article in the business section of the local newspaper when I lived in Calif. about Sportsman Warehouse buying all their guns and ammunition from Dick's Sporting goods because of all the controversy about all the gun violence.

Sorry I had it backwards, but the
CSR problem is getting worse - the info is still in there (somewhere), but properly accessing it is becoming 'sketchy' and unreliable, as far as getting (and keeping) it straight !
After reading your post, I went back
to check - the parent company of Cabela's bought BPS a few years ago, and has also made a deal with Sportsman's Warehouse that should by now be finalized, so the three ARE now affiliated !
As for Dick's, I haven't been to one
of their stores in over twenty years,
so anything posted about them
holds no interest for me and is generally ignored ! Never really
liked shopping there much,
anyway !

2cents? I’ll put mine in. Shop small, the biggies have their place but we have to support small businesses. Find a local tackle shop. Buy the outfit from one. It could be your neighbor.
100%👍👍

Personally, I wouldn't buy anything from Dick's even if it was half the price of the other places. I do not care for them. I won't list my reasons for fear of being sent to the attic. Just my 2 cents worth.
I believe I may know your reasons. Nothing to do with fishing, but with another ( partially) outdoor pursuit. I am boycotting them now. They were very insulting to a particular group that I identify with. Dick's.... you made your bed. Good luck with your preferred customer base. I'm sure they will be politically loyal to you. As consumers, not so much.

Dicks was ok on sale items but when they stopped selling guns and amo I quit them forever. Bass Pro would be your best bet.

I agree with several others, I no longer will spend a penny in Dick's, and Sportsman's warehouse isn't that far behind. Although, the good thing with Sportsman's, Bass pro shop and Cabela's, 90% of they equipment can be compared on-line. You even purchase on-line and pick-up at the store while staying with the major brands. That will save you money without having to drive all around the county.

I was just at a Cabelas in Ohio and their selection of rods and reels is way down…many empty rod holders and the reel selection was about 30% of what they normally have..Good luck shopping…not a big selection..

We're lucky here in Northeast Ohio to have a "Family" owned outdoor store "Fin, Feather, Fur" that is always my first go to. There was a "Gander Mountain" here for maybe 10 years that was my 2nd home, according to my wife. Their Mountain crumbled when Cabelas/BassPro moved in less than 10 miles away. They both are weak on fly tying supplies. We have a Dunhams but they are like Walmart. I only mention Dicks to say good riddance, don't come back. We all have choices according to our preferred sport, our location and our allowable income.
