A Field & Stream store opening on Friday in Cranberry would never be mistaken for a traditional Dick's Sporting Goods store. Its entrance features two stuffed bears clawing at each other on their hind legs...

Hey Dick’s - Don’t let your butt hit the door on the way out.

I bought a couple fighting stuffed iguanas in Tijuana before I was married.
I still miss them.
