I was there Friday evening and Saturday early morning. Only bought four belts and one hunting jacket! I was there mostly to show my wife Karin the displays. I've never been to this one but have been to the one in Nebraska. Too bad but there was a wedding I had to attend to, would have been pretty amazing to bump into you and Patti!!!
My favorite mount is the Lynx trying to catch the bird!
Just think of the money spent on taxidermy!

Yeah thats almost a religious experience isn't it. I have also been to the Sydney Nebraska one and it truly is mind numbing the amount of great stuff in there. Way better than a Basspro for hunting stuff.

What an awesome assortment of displays! Thanks for sharing, now I want to go there too.
It's funny how few customers there are there, besides Frank of course.

I am going to have nightmares about coming across that Chinese water deer in the woods.

I used to visit Dundee quick often, awesome place. In fact at one time, they said that this location was the No.1 tourist draw in the State of Michigan.

Awsome pictures Don ... I took many of the same shots from different angles from approx 6 or 7 years ago .. I took 100's of shots ... here are a few .. ( copied from a previous thread )

About 6 years ago I made a trip to Cabela's in Michigan ...

I took hundreds of pictures .... scanned some today .... I tried to take pictures of the taxidermy animals that were all over the store
( except for the wall mounts )... like I would if they were in the wild .... which led to some pretty creative photo positions .... eventually one store clerk told me I couldn't climb on the clothes racks , even if it was to get a good shot ! Here are a few of the shots ... ( trust me it wasn't easy with a store full of people to make sure nobody got in the shot ! )

These are the grizzly bears that are in front of the store ... approx 20 feet high ...

Here are a few wall mounts that caught my eye ( when I say few , I mean it , there were 100's )

Nope. I was on my way to Wyoming for an antelope hunt. Spent very little as we were pressed for time and money LoL !!!!

Those are awsome!
You know your a hunter when Cabelas is the place to see.
I hope they put one in Montreal.
