Cabela’s gives Montana FWP $50,000

January 18, 2008

Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission members cautiously accepted a $50,000 check Thursday from Cabela’s http://www.cabelas.com , as the outdoor retailing giant tried to smooth ruffled feathers over its listing of “trophy” properties for sale in Montana.

It’s the latest move in a flap that began in the summer, when some Montana Wildlife Federation members sent back their Cabela’s catalogs and called for a boycott because they believe the Nebraska-based company is involved in selling key wildlife habitat and properties that are subsequently being closed to hunters and anglers.
