Boycott Cabela's, they are in bed with the tribes in Tulalip !!!!

Interesting point regarding the Canadian dollars. I'm sure they will get a good amount of business from north of the border.

This subject certainly got side tracked I must admit myself.

Why don't we all start over with a group hug  and talk about how crappy you think Cabelas is ?

I like 'em. They send me Christmas cards and big thick books for free.

Which is good for other local businesses - gas, food, lodging, other goods while they're here.

[h20hunter]

It is. I hope the fact that this is good for the local economy as well as the tribe will not be lost on people.

cant stand cabelas i would rather they use the land for a hockey arena or better yet a race track so we could get dale earnhart jr and the other pro racers here, now that would create some cash or use the land to make a hatchery to put more fish in are rivers,

I used to get the fat catalogs too. I told them to stop. I shouldn't have though. It keeps the loggers employed along with truck drivers, pulp and paper mills, printing companies, ink suppliers, timber companies, CAT etc. Hmmmmmmmm......talk about Cabelas creating jobs.

[Armadillo]

There is no need for them to have a commercial fishery anyways, they make enough money with casinos and developing their land.

How much money should the tribe be allowed to make? Why should this be regulated?

Gentleman this debate has turned into something it shouldnt. Why is cabelas such a bad thing when it brings business to an growing community struggling to be free from generations of poverty? How does this relate to the tribal hunting regulations?

Are we opposed to the native rights because we, as sportsman are jealous of what they have and what we want?

Or are we against the native rights because you know for a fact that they actually threaten natural resource sustainability?

Really, your kidding right....
There is a Hockey arena in everett at the events center, and it does not add to the local economy as a store like cabelas will, a race track seriously how would that add alot to the local economy? The lot is not big enough for a track and is not a good location for a hatchery, besides who in ther right mind would not use prime I-5 frontage real estate located between the biggest city in washington state and one of the busiest border crossings from canada to build a location to take advantage of that. The tribes will benefit from the longterm lease they get cabelas to sign, along with the increase in people coming to buy and hitting the outlet mall, casino etc. My only hope is that Cabelas did not have to or did not make any hiring concessions with the tribe, ie: Preference given to tribal members over non tribal when appling for jobs..

[CAMPMEAT]

Yawn !!!!!

[Armadillo]

Wake up mister

[CAMPMEAT]

Sorry, I fell asleep watching a boring hunting show on private land.

[jackmaster]

well a great big shopping mall would bring more cash than a cabelas and i doubt that anyone that isnt a native american will get first crack at any jobs, oh wait aminute yes they will cause native americans get paid whether they work or not........

[h20hunter]

We need a "going downhill" icon I see.

 I had thought that since seattle and washington politicians won't touch the Arena thing that it was  a tribe that could do it. That site was one I thought would be a good one.  The 6000 seat arena in Everett will not support an NHL or NBA team.

It's not the venue that will not support an NHL or NBA team.......you could build a 60k seat arena and it would be empty just the same..
