For the outdoor enthusiast, finding the best deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be harder than finding the perfect campsite. Which store has the best selection of outdoor gifts at the best price? For our money, we recommend pitching your virtual tent outside the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's websites on Thanksgiving night.

In 2020, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's are giving you way more time to score the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on gifts you want. Just in time for Black Friday, the two outdoor giants have teamed up to ensure the best retail selection in the outdoor gear, apparel, and equipment industry this holiday season.

And of course, the best deals.

We haven’t gotten our hands on all the great deals from Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s just yet, but we managed to find a few early deals below. And judging by all the amazing products the outdoor behemoth put on sale last year, chances are you’re going to find a ton of can’t-miss Black Friday gift ideas at Bass Pro Shops this year.

What To Look For On Black Friday At Bass Pro Shops And Cabela's

For that special big game-loving someone on your shopping list, you’ll find some amazing deals. Last year, the Carbon Express X-Force PileDriver 390 Crossbow Package went for 50 percent off, and we can almost guarantee similar deals this year. Game cameras such as the Bushnell Trophy Cam HD bundle should be available with similar discounts. 

Electronic hunting gear is another great savings opportunity. Walker’s Silencer digital earbuds were 40 percent off last year, and range finders could reach half price in 2020. Of course, optics like the Nikon Buckmasters II riflescope might be 25 percent off or more as well.

Looking for gifts for the fishing type? Last year, rod and reel combos were marked down nearly 50 percent off or more and there’s no reason not to expect more of the same this year. You’ll find amazing deals on gifts like tackle boxes and rod racks, guaranteed. They make the perfect gift for the fisherman (and woman).

Want tech? Last year, the Aqua-Vu Micro II underwater camera was a full 25 percent off. And the impressive Garmin Instinct GPS Smartwatch hit 33 percent off during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend. We expect to see similarly fantastic markdowns on all kinds of high-tech gadgetry to help make your adventure easier for Black Friday 2020.
