Well this sucks!

I got a safety bonus through work in the amount of $420. I could by crap out of a stupid catalog with the money or get a gift card to several different stores. I chose bass pro so I could buy a Tritronics Pro 100 G3 EXP. I went by the store first to make sure they carried them before I decided on Bass Pro. Now they don't carry them and tell me they aren't allowed to even back order it. I called the store in FT Worth and they said they have 3 tritronics collars in stock and they only have one of each. Looks like Bass Pro may stop carrying tritronics to me. I called tritronics and the girl said she didn't know and there wasn't anyone there that had any info for me. I guess I'll have to drop cash on one or choose a different brand. Thats my luck!

Get it and trade someone who's going to go spend that much more more at Bass Pro for straight cash. Then go buy your collar at gun dog supply.

Call the BP shop in Independence MO, I think they had several collars last time I was in there. If not, try the main headquarters in Springfield MO. If need be, I can pick up the one from Independence and mail it to you. Our QF chapter meets there next week.

Better move on it. No TT on Bass Pro's website.

After working at an outdoor superstore (while in the military - for the discount of course) you realize they don't care about carrying all of the quality products. They just take one good, one med and one poor quality. The product that they buy and put their name on (whatever one wants to let them) will be the winner. The next brand that may be better will not be carried because they want to take first and second choice for the customer to have.

Thanks for the offers to send me one. Bass Pro called tonight and they said it is something they can special order for me so I can still use my gift card. I just have to pay in full before they will order it.

That is weird. I wonder when and why they stopped carrying it.

BP continually disappoints - more often than not - IMO

3 out of 3 orders in the last 2 yrs have had something shown in-stock on-line only get me a "sorry - out of stock" note.

Worse yet - they won't deliver to Alaska without serious mark-up.

Cabelas has much better customer service and doesn't charge extra for shipping.

I've seen a lot of people talking about gun dog supply. I've been to their website and looked at what they have to offer. I don't have a bass pro, cabelas, or any story close to me except Academy Sports. Does gun dog supply carry high quality items?
