I do not know this for a fact, but . . . Ive been told that Cabela's
is very stingy when it comes to supporting conservation efforts with
cash. That they are a "hooray for me" outfit with zip community
involvements, in other words leeches as a corporation. So what's new.

I know that when they come into an area they extract all kinds of tax
concessions from suckup politicians eager to claim they brought this
or that many jobs into an area. In other words they don't help pay for
local schools, police, fire etc., and economically they are a net
taker from regional economies except sometimes for the immediate
municipality getting their sales tax. By the way Its not just local
fly shops they put out of business, but the whole range of outdoor rec
businesses. They also pay ****. The ONLY big box retail outfit that
pays its people decently and gives good benifits is COSTCO.
