It's been a decade since I heard Johnny Morris make a statement I'll never forget. It was at a national deer symposium being held at Big Cedar Lodge, a Bass Pro Shops property in the Ozarks. This occurred before Bass Pro bought Cabela's. As Johnny took the stage to deliver an address to the entire crowd, giant Cabela's logos appeared on screens bookending the stage. So he owner of Bass Pro Shops begins delivering a speech from a stage on his property, with his largest competitor's logos looming over him. He just smiled and said, "That's ok. When it comes to conservation, there's no such thing as competition. We're all in the same boat."
