Cabela's used to have nothing but quality items in their stores. Back in the early '80's I stopped into their one store and took a look around. Every thing I looked at was of good quality and was the stuff they made their reputation on. Back then I would have no qualms about ordering something sight unseen from the catalog.

Not so today. About 2 years ago I called and spoke to a customer rep and asked that they remove my name and address from any and all mailing lists.She asked why and I said I'd rather spend a bit more to buy a US made product and can not do that anymore in their store.

I got a nice long e-mail from someone extolling the virtues of why they buy off shore. I replied with a thanks but no thanks.

If a fella looks hard and long enough, we can buy quality local goods.
