I have been to Scheel's quite a few times. Each time I have been impressed and amazed by the staff…read more They are present, friendly, polite, welcoming and helpful. I've shopped for my husband, grandkids and myself and I have been happy with my purchases. I bought some great seasonings for myself, sports items for my grandkids, and lots of outdoor equipment for my husband. Everything has been used and enjoyed, and has held up well. The prices are comparable to other places. I absolutely think their seasonings are superior to grocery stores for outdoor cooking.

The store is great, but the dogs are out of control!…read more Today, one gentleman had two huge dogs that were invading everyone's space. One dog slimed my hand when his owner raced up beside me on the stairs. I was there on Friday morning this time, hoping to avoid the crazy weekend crowd of people with their dogs. While it was not quite as overtaken, it was still too much. I just hope no child is ever hurt in the calamity of dogs there. Dogs are amazing, but they're unpredictable. I am not alone in my frustration, many dog loving people have complained. Come on, Scheels... your store is crowded enough without dogs and their inability to stay in their own lane.

If you're going to sell a product through your business then you are responsible for standing…read morebehind that product whether it is a consignment item or not....especially if you represented the fit and functionality....it goes without saying that almost nobody is going to go immediately to the mountain to try them out. Your policy is misleading at best and designed to take advantage of the consumer....and then you add insult to injury by offering slightly more than half of what was just paid! This is not an ethical business practice and I will not ever do business here again...I advise anyone else who is reading this to spend their money elsewhere!

Showed up on a Friday night at 8:30 in the evening to buy my draw tag. An associate was behind the…read morecounter but told me that, "she didn't know how to operate the IDFG station." Doesn't really seem right to have an associate running up front sales that doesn't know the full job on a Friday night. Major L Sportsmans. Glad I spent the time to drive over. Going to Scheels in the future.

This is my go to spot in the Boise area for all things outdoor. Their team of guys they have…read moreworking in the fishing dept are the best around. Not only friendly but also super knowledgeable as well. Yes they know fishing but they are very localized as well and know the lakes and rivers around here. Their recommendations have always been on point and never disappoint. Store is well laid out with massive selection of whatever you can think of outdoors. Prices are usually very fair but the big draw for me is their Cabela's club membership. Love earning points and special deals for club customers. I would highly recommend this location for all that it brings to the Treasure Valley!

Nice old greeter that was helpful but we avoid the back of the store like the plague to avoid the…read moreHilton vacation people who are like vultures that will even seek you outside of their "territory"to try to sign you up. Their fake compliments are the worst. They make used car salesmen look great! Value is pretty good for some things. Some cheaper than Amazon or Costco. Selection of womens is a little thin probably because it's a guys place?!

Super friendly crew and a gorgeous shop with plenty of gear and expert merchandising. Nice, clean, organized, but not sparse. It's rare to find a fly shop where things are where I expect them to be, but they managed to pull it off. I'll be back, and next time it'll be to book a trip. Thanks for the local fly selection guys.

I had rudimentary knowledge, if you can call it that, that needed a lot of work. Not only did I walk away with a whole new skill set for casting, but also learned multiple casting techniques. Michael is patient, very knowledgable, and works with you until you get it right. I highly recommend this course if your casting needs work. You won't be disappointed. I plan on going to the advanced class in the future. Thanks for your help Mike. I very much appreciate it!

Lemme tell you! Ok so REI is obviously a great store. There are some things about them I can't…read morestand..:like when they get involved in political crap. That ruins the vibe for me for any business. It's still a great store, but people need to shut up with getting involved in anything that has absolutely nothing to do with sporting goods, outdoor activities etc or whatever their business is. REI is crazy expensive tho! Ooooh! So Al's just opened. I was sad to see the trampoline park close and leave. Sports Authority was at this location at one time too. Mittens was on the board, soooo...ahhh! Never mind lol. They closed. Sad. Anyway, finally a store goes in there. Obviously we are talking about AL's. This store is fantastic. I know it's going to be pricey eventually, but when we went in, the sales they were having were amazing. They had great prices on almost everything. With Christmas coming up, too, I'm sure their sales will once again be epic. They have all kinds of top brands. North Face, Patagonia, etc. Any place that carries Patagonia is ok in my book...even if Patagonia is another company that gets too political way too often. They make great jackets tho. I've had my R3 for like 17 years and still looks new. So walking into Al's and seeing they sell Pats, made me happy. Pats in general are very expensive. So if they happen to have these on sale, don't hesitant to pick one up. Same goes for a lot of the other name brands they have here. Great store for hunters, for anyone who loves kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, I mean, it's just a great store. I'm usually iffy on these chain stores, but I think this one is mainly specific to this area of the country, PNW, and obviously Utah and ugh, I'm sure California as well..at least Northern California? Who knows. Most people I know have already been. My hunter friends are in love with this place. They have gotten some insane deals here. However, if you haven't been, you definitely need to check it out...especially now that the Christmas season is like a day away from officially beginning. No, it doesn't start the day after Halloween lol. We got a few things here when we went. One thing was a flashlight. There was a guy in that section, wish I remembered his name. His main job is he's a fireman. I remember at least that much. This guy was such a great help. Knew the products well, super friendly, perfect teeth haha, and I mean, he was fun to look at. Sorry, had to throw that last bit in haha, because shiiiieeeet! Hahaha! Super nice guy. Everyone we came across that works there was great and eager to help. I hope this place succeeds. That spot it's in is a weird one. It seems to do good elsewhere and with Boise being a huge outdoor city, I can't see this place actually failing. I can only see it flourish and I hope it does. Check it out. Thanks for reading, YelperAl's!! Cheers!
