The best sporting goods store in the U.P, they've been around a long time, ever since I was a kid. They also are great educators in the community for gun safety, hunter safety, orv type stuff.

Beginner or expert level, please check this store out because they have great prices and a lot to offer. Cozy store!

Good selection and astonishingly low prices considering how hard it is to compete with the huge sports corporations, especially on ammo. Theyve even carry some of the more obscure types. An inviting atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff round out an all-around banger of a store that allows you that good feeling of shopping local without the bad feeling of being broke as hell the moment you walk out.

I absolutely love this store. I've gotten all my trapping stuff there so far. They even carry Airgun stuff. Anything outdoors you need you can find there!! I love going even just to window shop. The people are easy to talk with to!

The folks at Wilderness Sports are super knowledgeable and helpful! I recently inherited a number of firearms and they not only appraised them for me, but helped me register a couple of handguns from out of state. The store is filled with a variety of hunting, camping, outdoor sports and apparel. Once you're there, you won't want to leave! Well worth the visit!

Great customer service!! Good service is easy when everything goes smoothly. Great service arises when you have an issue and it is addressed immediately and resolved. Today I brought back an electric hand warmer that was a Christmas gift that did not work right out of the package. The associate I talked to brought me to the back of the store to find me an exchange. Before letting me leave, they wanted to make sure that the new one worked. Good thing, all of them on the display were defective!! One of the managers herd about the ongoing issue and immediately went back to the stock room and found another unit that worked!! Kudos to the Wilderness crew for going above and beyond to insure a satisfied customer!!

Very poor customer service. I live in Wisconsin and I was up visiting family. 9mm ammo is hard to come by in WI and my dad said they sometimes had some here. I love supporting local small businesses and was excited to check out the store. My brothers and I went with my dad. My brother bought some 9mm ammo before me (he forgot a mask and was going to respectfully leave but they said he could quickly buy the ammo and then walk out) and when I also asked for a box of 9mm ammo the guy behind the counter said, “You guys are all together aren’t you?!”
I don’t know if he thought we were all buying ammo for my dad or what, but he was rude. I have my own wife and kids and house I want to be able to defend if I have to, I had no intention of buying the ammo for anyone else or asking for more than they were selling per customer. I politely asked for one box of ammo. He didn’t listen or make much sense why he was mad we were there together. He reluctantly sold me one more box but refused to sell to my other brother. I was super confused and tried to politely ask a couple questions to understand what was happening and he said, quote: “Lose the attitude, I don’t have to sell you anything.”
I assured him I meant no disrespect or anything. Even after that interaction I bought an expensive water bottle because I really do love supporting local businesses.
Bottom line: I don't feel there is ever a time in the history of business to treat a customer like that. I won’t be going back.
I hope this review serves to help the store owners be aware of the importance of customer service and how their employees treat people and that they make adjustments and that their business thrives in the future.

Always very polite, great place for anyone even women 😉 Variety of hunting, fishing, camping or everyday life supplies. Cute hats for women, sunglasses, lures, t-shirts, boots you name it they have it. Nice store to have one in town 🙂

Great locally owned sports and outdoor gear store. Hunting, fishing, bait, guns, shoes and boots, clothing and other sports equipment. It small and cramped but they try to have a large selection in a small space. As for price they are a little pricey compared to a big box store but they have quality items right in town and you're supporting local business. My son needed good winter gloves $29.
