I went in for minnows, some fatheads......how in the hell did I come out of there with a bill almost $100?
I love that place, if I could put a bed in there I would live there and never leave.

go to the tent area, the have a little set up with the fake grass... the tent, the lantern, the grill, cooler, some chairs and maybe even a sleeping bag inside the tent... then ya get someone to bring ya in a bunch of perch, crappie, bass, pike or whatever ya like and put them in that kayak testing pool...now you have it all! the place to fish, the means to cook the fish and a place to sleep after a full belly. heck, we could even release a few birds and a few deer in there. no one would notice till ya grabbed a shotgun and let loose...lol

Actually you can hunt there too, my buddy picked up on of their soft air guns the other day and started to gun his kids down in the store. Nobody even caught on and those guns can shoot!!!

I bought my aqua vu from there earlier this year , Before I went up there I had to condition myself , I kept repeating To the electronics dept and out of the store, It wasnt easy but I did it. Thought I was going to need some Bayside therapy afterwards.

Trust me, it was almost alot worse. I looked at one of the .454 Raging Bull handguns and almost went over the top. Just what I need another handgun, the price was unreal how cheap it was for brand new. (I might go back later this weekend)

I wish there was someway to keep me out of there except for once a month. You know, a shock collar or something. I end up going at least twice a month and I'd say my avg bill since they opened is over $125/trip.
Hey Mark, when ARE you going to make a therapy session, or should we hold one at "The Pub"or the "Valley Inn"

I'm the same way Buckshotjon, go in for 1 thing, come out with 10. Even if I go in there to pick a lure, I always wander in the hunting area just to see the same stuff I saw the week before and vice versa. Ya can't beat Gander and Galyans...yet., here in Buff.

I only take enouhg money for what I want when I go into Gander MTn. I know that it is too dangerous if I take more, cause I might just as well say BYE BYE to it and give it a kiss before I go in, cause it won't be in my pocket when I leave...
I can't wait until Bass pro opens... I will be there..... wishin that my wallet was fatter!!

Neptunes is by far the place to go for therapy. I think I may go down for session in a little while. $ 2.25 pints draft, 4-7 $1.00 drafts 12oz, wed they used to put out hump day snacks free. A new guy just bought the bar/ rest. side of the buisness, I am not sure as to what he will do for the happy hr. Nice place over all.

I went there today for the first time. I wanted to look at two items and buy later. After 3 hours and still not seeing everything I totaled the cost for the two items and the new ones that when I saw them, reminded me that I had to have 'em. Total was $9,286. I layed on the couch, wanted a cold one or two and contemplated the buy now pay later plan discussed to me. Finally I came to my senses (it be a first) and walked over, bought a bag of jerky and headed out the door. I was halfway to Utica to pick up son of Sandman from college when I realized that I really can get alone without the, goose gun, rods, reels, lures, aqua view, terrain vehicle, camo kyak, new smoker, etc. etc. I also realized that I never wound up getting what I went there for in the first place. What a place!

Well- that does it! When Bass Pro opens-I'm staying outta there! I'm pretty weak willed & can't go broke right before the kids start going to college. You guys talk about these stores like a crackhead talks about a crackhouse! Of course, I dropped $300 the other day on a new varmint setup I really don't need.....

Hollywood, we are crack heads. Enter Sandman...
I once spent 6 hrs in that place, 2 weeks pay, and still wasn't ready to leave.
I really think there should be a 12 step program for us junkies, paid for by the State. Therapy isn't cheap, you know...
