This is just one of the life-like in-store displays of stuffed animals at the incredible Bass Pro Outdoor World in Harrisburg Pa. Prior to this "shopping" excursion last March, I had never EVER seen anything like this in a shop--not EVER!

Neat capture, Michelle! If you ever get a chance you should visit their headquarters in Springfield, MO. They have every animal you can imagine stuffed and mounted. #6687379

Great capture Michelle. I lived by the original BassPro shop in Springfield, Missouri. I would take my kids there to see the "stuffed" zoo. When they were little, it was far less scary and they loved it. Thanks for the memory.

Would you believe I have never, but always wanted to! Visit Bass Pro Shop, that is! Whenever I'd go on duty at Ft Leonard Wood the guys would get together and visit the one in Rhonda's neighborhood, but I never went. Wow, I missed a lot! This is really beautiful, Michelle! All the right "touches"! A grand display .. of stuff ... and talent!

Wow, what a display. I have never been to one of these stores either. But I would if I got the chance. Nice capture, Michelle.
I'm going bear hunting with my camera in North Central PA next weekend. I would be more than satisified with one bear at a time, Lord:) Amen #6693184

Beautiful capture Michelle. I knew Bass Pro Before I read it. Bossier City has one on the river walk. Bill #6695612

Nice shot, Michelle, and yes the Bass Pro displays are pretty amazing. Didn't know there was one in PA. The one in Springfield, MO, has a big wildlife museum associated with it, but it's been closed for renovation for quite awhile. On my agenda though for when it reopens. #6729662
