Yank all hunting gear?
How unmanly of Dick’s!

Hey, do you know that Cabela’s was bought out by Dick’s? They’re the same company.
To: rktman
I’d like to see it affect their other sales too.

Dick’s. Because “Coward’s” doesn’t work as a corporate name.

Wow, good to know.
Cabela’s made it so damn difficult for me to buy a hunting rifle that they made my ‘do not frequent’ list.

Here's an abstract with more info. The buyout took place in 2017.
SIDNEY, Neb. - Cabela's (CAB) shareholders have approved selling the outdoor outfitter to rival Bass Pro Shops for roughly $4 billion. The Nebraska-based chain said Tuesday that shareholders had voted for the deal that will pay them $61.50 per share.Jul 11, 2017
