Using time wisely...American Style


Bass Pro Shop, Manteca, CA
The Nation's largest hunting, fishing etc... retailer

Tom (Dan's bro) won...Bekah cried.






I don't hunt. Or fish. I don't want to. I don't want to buy "doe estress" in a liquid form or an "entrail remover". I have no need for "buck urine caplets" or mesh bags useful for carrying parts freshly removed from a deer carcass. I will never wear camouflage vests with a built-in beer holder. I don't want to use plastic ducks and a kazoo to lure innocent animals to their untimely death.
This store has it all for the hunter or fisherman type:
1. Shooting gallery (which made Bekah cry...not for compassionate reasons, but because she couldn't get a good shot off.)
2. Dead animals on display.
3. Gift shop complete with camouflage recliners (beer holders included) and DVDs of chubby girls wrestling catfish.
4. Homemade fudge shop...wha?
5. Chemical toilets.
6. Boats.
Apparently, people drive out of their way to come to this store as a holiday destination. Wow.
