Gander Mountain Removing Mounts off their wall?

[teej89]

I was in a PA forum and saw this guys post from a trip he took to Gander Mountain. I am speechless.

"Was out with my 4 year old last night and I asked if he wanted to stop at Gander Mountain to look at the animals. He was really excited and wanted to go, he loves looking at all the different mounts. Well when I got to the store to buy my hunting license, their machine for hunting license was not working. This really didn't matter cause it was more about having fun looking at all the mounts and hunting gear with my son. To my surprise there wasn't an animal mount in the store. When we where leaving I stopped at the counter an asked what happened to all of the animals and the guy and girl up front both said that there was a complaint about animals being displayed on the walls so they have been taken down. I asked for a manager cause I now wanted to complain about taking down the mounts, and of course there was no manager on duty. Who else thinks this is ridiculous that a hunting store would remove its mounts. I am going to contact corporate and voice my opinion but I was just shocked. Guess I will be driving to cabelas or Field and Stream with my boy from here on out."

What a stupid move to appease some stupid tree-animal hugger. I would have told the complainer to not come back if it bothered them. Then I would told management I wouldn't come back until the mounts are displayed.
Stupid is and stupid does.

$100 says they go back inside 90 days.

I'm willing to bet that store's manager is not a hunter...or very bright!

That's the dumbest shit I have heard in awhile! The fact that they sell all kinds of hunting gear and are taking down the fruits of what the store is about is a piss poor business move. It has been awhile since I have been to one of their stores and will be a lot longer if they don't correct the issue.

Field & Steam isn't any better, it's just Dick's Sporting Goods way of selling ARs since they have a social commitment to not sell them in Dicks.

How dumb!!! It better get rectified or they'll lose business, IMO.

Welcome to corporate America. How stupid of a move. I think Jesse would lose his $100 if someone took him up on the bet. I'd say once they are taken down they won't be replaced.

agreed, they will never see another dime of my money, and they were over priced too

Never cared for the place and this is just another reason not to go in there.

Wonder what Cabelas would have told the complainers?

Hopefully in a year or so they will also be out of business.

I never frequented that store. But I might stop in if I'm ever up there in that shit hole area just to start shit with the manager about it.

 

[Bigslam51]

I'm about to go in the canton store with my buddy and ask them Wtf is up lol

 

[Lumber head 75]

Go in there and take $500 worth of stuff to the check out then ask them wtf! When they tell you why, tell them to take their stuff and pound it up their asses!
