    If you are looking for a place where you can spend an afternoon in a family friendly environment and you like perusing museums, then this Cabelas in Buda, Texas is the perfect place to go to this summer. They have the equivalent of 4 areas that are like 3 museums and an aquarium, You and your family or significant other are also going to enjoy this in an air conditioned environment. Wë have been to this store on more than one occasion just to walk through the different exhibits that have on display. There is an African safari themed area, an aquarium you can sit and enjoy, an arctic type display and a Texas wildlife area )which is the largest display). There is no cost to visit the display areas as they are art of the store. Come enjoy a worthwhile afternoon! I am including pictures for your review, but there's nothing like seeing it up close and personal.

    Taxidermy animals including deer, elk, mountain goats, and a bear are displayed among artificial rocks and trees inside a wooden building with a vaulted ceiling and hanging lights. The scene mimics a natural habitat, with animals positioned on rocks and among foliage, creating a wildlife exhibit setting.

    This is one of the larger stores that I've been to. There are a mountain of stuffed and mounted animals on display. There is pretty much everything you could think of in the way of hunting and camping gear. It's a large store with an actual tunnel you can walk through to see a variety of fish. This is always a fun little walk. We found a pair of jeans for super cheap and the staff was attentive. Parking was easy. It's a fun walk even if you're not there to buy anything.

    Thanks for the help. Not!

    One star for the entertaining location in Buda. There's a great selection of camping, hunting, and hiking items there, as well as a taxidermy collection and gun 'museum' on site. That's about all the good I can say about this place. Prices range from average to expensive, service is non-existent, and their online ordering system is a mess. Had to cancel an order, which resulted in a three-day wait followed by the email in the attached picture telling me to call a number. As other reviewers have noted, good luck in getting anyone to pick up. Sorry, Cabella's - I'm taking my money elsewhere.

    My husband grew up fishing and hunting so it's in his blood. Needless to say upon moving to Austin, he stumbled across this gem thanks to his work buddies. Hubby insisted I come along next time he needed to pick up a few things. Lo and behold, upon arrival, you'll notice a massive structure. Don't worry - there's plenty of parking. I was impressed by the store's layout but most importantly, the gorgeous displays of nature (mostly staged stuffed animals), its very own waterfall and beautiful fish tanks. These features provide a unique shopping experience to this charming store. It's definitely worth a visit!

    If hunting and fishing is what you like then this place is for you. But otherwise there are lots to see here to enjoy or shop. Cabela's has fun activities for the kids like seeing fish in tanks, fish feeding, and exploring the huge taxidermy collection of a wide range of animals. There is even a restaurant on the second level serving bbq and other items. Many outdoor other products are sold here from camping, apparel, boating and shoes. The product quality seems to be good and prices vary but competitive. It's a great activity scene to bring the family for part of the day to be entertained and purchased an outdoor item.

    I processed an online purchase ( Red Dot ) that was too ready that day if I ordered it before 4:00pm. 30 minutes after my order was placed, I received a confirmation the order was received, and I should hear back shortly on when I should head towards the store and pick it up. I really needed that item for a range gathering the next day and arranged my trip around the purchase. 3 days later I received an email stating my order was ready. Had I known this process was going to be an issue I would of purchased this item ElseWare. I'm not a fan of false advertising and not sure if this is the standard but this experience was a big disappointment.

They have clothes. They have jerky and jams. They have toys. It's a very nice store. We went there yesterday and took the kids to see Santa. They have a very good Santa! We were pleased in our child was in magic land, which is where she should be at Christmas time. The reason I'm giving Bass Pro shops four stars is because the last time I was here I brought my gun in for service and their method is that the girls in front have to disarm the gun before you can walk into the store. So even though my six shooter was not loaded, they had to look it over and in doing so they took it apart and bent the spring. They had to send my gun into Ruger to get it repaired-- and they did so. They did not try to pass off responsibility. They were very sorry that they broke my beautiful bear cat six shooter. But the fact is they did and it brought me discomfort. I will be back here to shop, but I will never bring my gun here for any reason whatsoever. As for value, some of the products are overpriced and some aren't. Just pay attention. They do have some unique items that you probably won't find anywhere else in this area. I do recommend the store, but I don't recommend getting your gun serviced here.

Under their recommendation, I purchased a suppressor, good quality red dot, and red dot mount for a PCC. When I was finally able to get the suppressor attached, the mount that I bought under the recommendation did not co-witness with the iron sites. When I tried to return/exchange for something else, I was told that it was past their 30 day return policy. I asked if they could simply allow me to exchange it for other merchandise, but again stuck to their policy. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. I had to wait more than 30 days for the adapters to mount the suppressor on the PCC, but I never went back and told them to cancel that order so I could purchase somewhere else. I was very patient and respectful with them while I waited. While I am not a huge customer, I will no longer be a customer.

My friend purchased approximately $800 worth of hunting gear on November 21st that ended up not being used. The items were completely unworn and still had all tags attached. We attempted to return the items before he had to fly out, but the store is closed on Sundays. Due to the holidays and both of us being from out of town, we were unable to return the items until December 26th. At that point, we were told the return was refused because it was outside of their 30-day return policy. What's frustrating is that the policy does not reasonably account for store closures and holidays. This was not an abused return--everything was new and unused. When I called back to calmly explain the situation and ask if there was any flexibility, I was laughed at and told I was wrong. That response was unprofessional and upsetting. I expected better customer service from a company I've supported for years. Policies are one thing, but how customers are treated matters just as much. Unfortunately, this experience has made me reconsider shopping here in the future.

Their guide KC guided us for our first guided instructional / coaching fishing trip to the San Gabriel River where we caught loads of bass, sunfish, Rios, Warmouths. KC introduced US to popper dropper fishing with nymphs, which yielded great success!! We attended their free Saturday class on introduction to fly fishing which included hands-on casting instruction and tips on where to fish, tackle to use and solid common sense conservation information. Living Waters conducts countless classes free to any and all who register. These classes are in part funded by federal or state grants awarded to qualifying organizations that DO NOT CHARGE for the classes. This is like gold for newbies like me. Inasmuch as I apparently like to decorate riverside trees with colorful flies, they have sold me countless flies to replace them. Once when I broke the tip of my 5 weight 9 ft TFO rod, they partnered with the rod manufacturer and arranged for a replacement tip to be on hand at Living Waters when we were passing thru Round Rock to go fishing on the San Marcos. Thank you TFO and Living Waters!!! I recently went on a guided float trip on the Llano River with guides Jim and KC lost count of the fish I caught and released and among those, countless Rios, which I LOVE to hook and fight. I am in a lather to float the Llano with them again as soon as they arrange another trip. (I've asked them to grant me first right of refusal because I'm so special!!!!). Check out their beautiful videos of fooling fish with fly rods and tackle! So go see the folks at Living Waters already!! You'll thank me!!
