I got out of Cabela's Corporate management 7 months ago because I saw the writing on the wall. It's hard to ruin a company with a single decision but I feel that going public back in 2004 will prove to have been Cabela's fatal mistake. Greed and... — read more

Maybe the new owners will give us a few crumbs.
