I was just wondering if anybody knows if L.L. Bean is pro or anti hunting/gun? They are putting on 2 events not far from me but I don't want to participate if they are anti hunting/gun. Thanks.

I've been to their hunting and fishing store on their big campus in Maine many times. Lots of guns and gear, and great staff that are more than happy to help.

Very pro hunting. I've hunted and fished with several of their upper management. Very dedicated outdoorsmen.

They sure are, they make a union suit I want to pick up for hunting season to help keep warm and it costs one hundred bucks. Some boots I would like to try as well.

 High prices but usually equal in quality. They're outdoor/hunting folks.

My favorite pair of boots is their moc toe upland hunting boots. I wear them till I go through the sole. My favorite duck waders are also their product. Worth the money to me.

High quality for sure. I do miss the lifetime warranty on their name products. I bought a pair of waterproof moccasins ( slippers, but that sounds too old for me ) and wore them through and brought them back for new ones three times. But you can't mistake the quality. Very pro sportsman too. Great lobster rolls across the street from their main showroom

 Durn it. Now I want a lobster roll... LOL

I have a good pair for winter but really do need a pair of insulated boots for turkey season. I will check them out for sure.

I don't have TV right now, turned it off to save for a vehicle. The reason I asked the question is I found out the have a shop about an hour from me and I would like to check it out before winter but wanted to be sure they are not like Dicks have become.

I really need a pair of boots before Spring season, my feet got drenched in my 1200 gram Thinsulate boots because of sweating so bad. I bought a pair of Irish Setter TrueTimber Kanati VaprTrek Waterproof Non-Insulated Hunting Boots before Spring but when they came in they were much to narrow and that was the widest they had of them. Pity, the length was perfect and they were light as a feather.

LL Bean are the only rubber boot I wear. I wear them most anytime I am not working at the mill. I've had a pair for 8 years now that other than some tread wear don't show much wear.
