I know there was concern when Cabelas went in that they would drive prices up, but so far I've just benefited from their move to Post Falls. Don't get me wrong if I can't find it locally I'll drive there just like the rest, but so far I've found that not to be necessary.

I've noticed that the Cabelas in Lacey has many items marked up higher than they are advertised in their catalog. I've brought this up a couple times when buying stuff from them and they've always honored the catalog price. Just FYI.Hey thanks for the tip. I'll remember that!

I will say I have noticed that!! I usually get up to the register and wait for it to ring up at a different price and then tell them what it says in their catalog! get's em' flustered everytime!! haha And I used to work as sportman's in federal way, and I can honestly say that the two store are priced the same on almost everything give or take a few items here and there!

I was told that the Cabelas stores and the Cabelas cataloge sales were actually different companies but the stores will honor the mail order prices and deals. The other cool thing is if you have your cataloge orders sent to the store, shipping is free.I've noticed that the Cabelas in Lacey has many items marked up higher than they are advertised in their catalog.

One thing I'd like to make folks aware of (first let me say I have no affiliation with them)....
Sportsman's Warehouse in Spokane has gone way, way above and beyond in their support of local outdoor org chapters (DU, NWTF, Mule Deer, SCI..... etc). I'm fairly active in these events and somewhat tied in w/ some of the local chapters. I can say that their participation with these orgs as well as supporting youth hunting is so far and away above other retailers that it isn't even close. Please keep this in mind when making purchasing decisions. I'm not at all saying don't shop at Cabelas or that Sportsman's is the end all. Heck sometimes their lack of service/knowledge frustrates and piss me off at times. But, in the end when I see these guys putting their money and time into things that are helping the average hunter it really makes me want to support them even if it costs me a small % more.

Sure those vests are only a few bucks and it has their logo on it but they gave away hundreds if not thousands.
