What visitors say
This Edmonton Bass Pro Shops, still called Cabela's by some regulars, is a huge store for camping, hunting and fishing gear, clothing and footwear. Its wildlife displays and atmosphere make it a place people visit just to browse, and one family makes an annual trip for the Santa photos.
The gun department draws the most named praise. First-time firearm buyers describe patient staff who explained options without pressure, another shopper was helped to choose between a .17 HMR and a .22 LR, and a scope buyer was encouraged to take their time comparing. An employee also sourced a replacement part for a defective clay thrower so a customer living hours away didn't have to return the whole unit.
The fishing department gets credit too, with an older staff member who patiently set up a 12-year-old's first fishing gear, and others who helped a shopper choose a rod.
The reviews available here are overwhelmingly positive, and the rating breakdown shows relatively few low scores. It's a busy destination store, so plan extra time at specialty counters, especially around the holidays.
