I told @Gellar the same thing when he was talking about nothing to buy......they have a nice Browning Sweet 16 that needs a good home. I might just have that home.

Valley, I agree. I have a Sportsmans about 10 miles away, and Cabelas/Bass Pro's are 75-90 min away.

Mountain House Meals and stove fuel. I'm not a prepper, but always good to have those things around.

I run into the same thing every year on my Cabelas club purchases. The last couple of times Ive bought good sunglasses for my wife and I and last year I bought a Glock 44. Ive also bought Ice chests and other similar overpriced underused things.

Its funny how its hard to overspend on something even when its a gift card.

I just used mine to upgrade my fish finder. Went with the helix 7 with si/di gps and all the other good stuff.

It is hard to overspend but think of it as extra money. It was a gift so technically you're not spending your money. And it's better than that person getting you four useless $50 items.

could always look into an zoleo or inreach unit. Not sure how much backcountry you do but comes in handy.

Good thought. I have an Inreach, though.

$200 of fudge? Should probably be able to get 3 or 4 flavors for $200!

Already fighting to keep off the Covid 20 for next hunting season. With 40 pounds in a pack, I don't need to carry that weight too!

It is sunny in Az., I will send my mailing address for a new pair of polarized sunglasses! lol!

Regular clothes like socks, long underwear, sweatshirts, smedium shirts for showing the guns.

That might buy a bino carrier, nice gloves, $25 pair of binoculars marked $199, cheap muzzleloader, meat processing gear, something for your truck. camping chairs.

I saved them up and bought a Traeger last summer. Waited until they were on sale for $100 off and I had a 10% off coupon. Ended up paying $47 out of pocket for a Pro 780, cover, and 40# of pellets.

I use them to buy hunting and fishing licenses in two states as well as duck stamp. The one thing they sell at the same price as everyone else.

I'm a Kuiu fan so the clothing is out. Have my bino carrier and am a glove snob. Too true on the binos. Too much other stuff you've listed that I don't use to add more.

Now that works. I go west to hunt big game. Way to many hunters per square mile on public land here in Minnesota. But fishing licenses for me and family is something I didn't consider. Won't get me to $200 but will make a dent. Thank you!

I'm sitting on over $200 in Cabela's gift cards. Suspect most would agree with the statement, "Cabela's isn't the store it was 10 years ago...maybe even 5 years ago." I don't really need anything from there and they have little of what I want. Have gone in the store twice since Christmas with the intent to buy something and walked out empty handed. In the past, I would have just used my gift cards on ammunition, but that's out given ammunition inventory. Their gun inventory looks to be more slim than most other places. I fish on a limited basis and have plenty of tackle. Feels like I'm wasting money by holding on to the plastic with no idea when I might use it.

Any ideas what to buy? Looks like there's a website that will buy the cards for about 75 cents on a dollar. Considering that...thoughts?

If you have a friend who needs ammo that you don’t, buy the ammo with your cards and have him pay you for the ammo. Give him a 10% discount and take the cash elsewhere to get something els you want…like tools. This way you both benefit from the cards.

At the current rate that I get Cabelas gift cards that would take about 7 years. But I think that may be just what I do.

Ask cabelas to break the $200 in (4) separate $50 gift cards and regift them to people instead.

Cabelas gift cards... the new fruitcake.

So you only wear Kuiu every day down to the undies? Nice LOL

I was referring to the regular clothes at the store, not hunting clothes.

Sounds like you have your mind made up.

How is your home butchering gear? You can get a nice grinder and some meat tubs and high mountain seasoning sausage kits for $200.
