Ol' Yeller and I buy off the internet all the time. Shop from the comfort of your own home, and the package arrives at your door via uniformed messenger... how convienient is that? Not to mention the savings on the bargains you get!
Lew and other folkes that buy from Cabelas, y'all may want to check into signing up for a Cabelas Club Visa Card. I placed a $70 order with them this mornin' and used $24 worth of points, so I paid $46 for 70 worth of fishin' stuff. BassPro also has a rewards program but it isn't nearly as good as Cabelas.
