All,
First, thank you for making Cabela's aware of this issue through your e-mails and phone calls. I've spoken to a few of you over the phone and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out.
I've pasted Cabela's official statement below, but I wanted to personally assure you Cabela's does not support H.R. 1925. We do our best to stay out of politics as much as possible and stick to what we do best, offering our customers great products at great values, backed with a commitment to customer service.
We do, however, try to support our customers’ passions, which are also our passions, through membership or sponsorship of conservation and advocacy organizations. Unfortunately, sometimes these organizations are at odds. When that happens, all we can do is express our concerns, which also are the concerns of our customers, to all interested parties and ask that everyone work together toward a mutually agreeable solution.
I do encourage everyone to contact those people who can really affect the outcome of H.R. 1925, your elected representatives in Congress.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to continue serving your outdoor equipment needs in the future.

Cabela's Official Statement Regarding H.R. 1925
Thank you for contacting Cabela’s regarding H.R. 1925. Despite rumors to the contrary, we do not support H.R. 1925, or any legislation that would restrict access to public lands and responsible enjoyment of the outdoors.
As a retailer focused on the outdoors and outdoor sports, it’s our policy to support the organizations that protect our outdoor heritage. This support includes advocacy groups like Tread Lightly, which states as its mission “to proactively protect recreation access and opportunities in the outdoors.” We provide backing for these and other organizations to ensure protection of the pastimes our customers – and we – enjoy.
Because of customers’ concerns regarding H.R. 1925, we’ve been in contact with Tread Lightly and other OHV organizations. We’ve also contacted a representative of the Outdoor Industry Association, who told us they have no official position on the bill.
Citizens concerned about H.R. 1925, or any legislation directed at reducing or eliminating access to public lands, are encouraged to direct their concerns to their elected officials.
Again, we appreciate you contacting us to voice your concerns and thank you for your continued business. We look forward to serving your outdoor recreation needs for many years to come.
Hard to make a decision based on this response.
