RE: Walmart.com vs. Cabelas.com
Not only can't i find good boots there but I can't find wool socks. OK there are socks that say they are wool but a 25% wool blend sock is about all. Thank goodness for the toe warmers because with the crud they have for boots and the stuff they try and pass off for wool socks i'm going to need a whole box of them

RE: Walmart.com vs. Cabelas.com
I would be a more successfull hunterwith a cabelas card.
Iwould say that very littleof the hunting gear that I use could bepurchased at walmart.
I would hate to go out into the bitter conditions of MN without my Danner boots, high quality under wear, Columbia Wool Camo suit, etc. What kind of bows do they sell there anyway?
Do I NEED the particular gear that I have? No I don't.
But the bottom line is that the more comfortable I am while hunting...the more time I will spend in the field.
The more time I spend in the field...the more succesfull I will be in the long run.

I don't think either would impact your chance of success. I think your hunt would be more enjoyable with the Cabelas card. It is a no brainer that you are going to find a better selection and better quality at Cabelas. That said, a good hunter could take a deer with a Bowie knife and mud camo.

WARNING: Insanely dumb poll. Proceed with caution.
Okay,follows is a strictly hypothetical question. Imagine the two following scenarios:
[ol][*]You have a Walmart.com gift card (with no limit) - and you HAVE to buy ALL of your hunting gear from Wallyworld online.[*]You have a Cabelas.com gift card (also with no limit) - and you're forced to get everything from Cabelas.[/ol]
Here's the question: Would having to shop exclusivelyat Walmart or Cabelas increase or decrease your chances at success? Why?
"All of your hunting gear" means EVERYTHING! Bow, Boots, Camo, Stand, etc...
Where is this going, you ask? I want to see howmuch you all think that "gear" actually impacts your success/failure in the field. Also, I wanted to seeif there is an actual perceived discrepancy in quality/effectiveness between"Walmart Gear" and "Cabelas Gear."

RE: Walmart.com vs. Cabelas.com
Although Cabelas has a better selection of hunting equipment, Wal-Mart would be alot cheaper for your basic hunting needs. I myself try to avoid Cabelas at all costs, they have sent me used equipment that was in their "Bargain Cave" when I have ordered from them online. Cabela's is highly overpriced compared to Gander Mountain. I am about an hour from the Cabelas in Wheeling, WV and it's a big joke.
