Went to our local scheels and was looking at their waterfowl stuff and my brother was talking to me about some dakota floaters, talking to him about it, price was 179.99 a week ago price...... 99.99 for 6, wow thats a awesome price, to bad they went back up..... scheels guy "i match that price" with a funny look and trying a few calls (feild proven matrix and shot caller) ten minutes later... packing up 3 dozens, and a case of shells into a jeep liberty with 3 grown men, awesome:D:D:D:D

Sounds like an expensive night. You will like those dakota floaters though!
That's just crazy! A little birdie told me a month or so ago that staffers can't even get them that cheap!

I am not anything close to a business guy, but how does Scheels make money off this stuff? Its the same thing with shot gun shells too. Cheaper than anywhere else?

Either way, sounds like a good day shoppin
Oh ya the Scheels here in Omaha had them for that price as well and they sold out in a hurry! I bought 4 boxes and they also had the Winchester x-perts 3" for 7.99 a box and the 3.5" for 11.99 a box. I dont normally shoot x-perts but for that price and the teal season out here man thats cheap and if someone was looking for some decent early goose loads those would be some good cheap ones too! Scheels blows all other sporting goods stores out of the water!!

I don't know about blowing other stores out of the water. I think Rogers holds their own pretty well. And the Scheels in Des Moines sucks for waterfowl, very reason I got rid of my scheels cc and got a cabelas.
This is is why I live in Council Bluffs, im 20 minutes from all 3 great sporting goods store. Bass pro shop, cabelas, and scheels. Plus some other little store that has some great price , for instance Guns Unlimited has some good prices on shotshells and decoys and also layout hunter,power hunter in max4 129.99 most everyone else is 20 bucks higher

I hear you on the x-perts...but when were they $7.99? I bought a box for early season for $8.99 a week ago at the Omaha store when they were "on sale". I picked up two scheels layout blinds for $150 each for my brothers and we also got 6 greenhead gear full body active ducks for $75.

My biggest gripe with scheels is their lack of waterfowl camo clothing.

You know what's sad? I have to travel to Minnesota for work and I make it a point to stop in the Cabelas at Owatonna. They probably have more waterfowl gear than those 3 stores combined.
Cool but im not going to travel all that way to look and possibly buy something that I could get here if not, I prolly know someone who has it or knows where to get it. That the great thing about family and friends
