    Home Depot online. White Cap on 19th & Deer Valley Grainger on 19th & Rose Garden Might want to call them before you come down. I doubt they keep everything in stock.

    Elk draw

    Absolutely have chances at late rifle bull tags in numerous units. My cousin drew 4 years in a row (all bull), and son-in-law drew 3 years in a row (all bull). Taylor drew 4 years in a row too. Bull/bull/bull/cow.

    Teamwork and spotting/guiding a shooter in on a buck

    No radios here either. Hand signals, landmarks, etc. Right, left, slow down, still there, gone, game is up, etc.

    Using salt and cameras to locate a specific buck

    Salt attracts game. All kinds too.

    Teamwork and spotting/guiding a shooter in on a buck

    If I am not mistaken, any use of radios disqualifies game from record books. B&C and P&Y anyway.

    Unit Suggestions for Pops

    18BPs is far from a guaranteed draw in almost every unit. What about WY?

    Truck Tool Box: North Valley

    It works. I have a full set of Weatherguard on my work truck. Cross box and side rail boxes. I work on a LOT of mountaintop sites, with miles and miles of dirt roads. I have never noticed dust on my tools. Even when driving through that moon powder dust for miles.

    Upgrade scope from Vortex Viper HS LR

    Any and all of these scopes will keep you hunting during any legal hours. 30mm, 34mm, or 36mm tubes won't be the determining factor. The glass transmits light well enough that you will see better through the glass than with your naked eyes. They are all exceptionally bright. I don't think you can dona custom turret on any of them. But out to 600 or so, just work up your drops before you leave and tape a drop chart to the rifle. For 600+, you will want a more accurate real time/condition shooting solution anyway. Plus, no need to change turrets when you go from hunting Coues @ 3000' & 25° to pronghorn @ 6500' & 85°. Get your drops and dial. Depending on your rangefinder of choice, a lot of them now give you accurate shooting solutions besides just telling you yardage and look angle. I think 15x is plenty for hunting well past 1000 yards. Two weeks ago, I popped a coyote @ 921 yards with the scope set at 7x for wider FOV just in case I needed to keep him in view for a follow up shot. Also shot out to 1251 the same day, and on 18x with a couple other rifles out to 1558 too. Shot my pronghorn last year @ 450ish on 7x. I shot a coyote @ 1327 with a 16x. Two more @ 1365 on 17x. 15x is even plenty for shooting small groups. I have a few sub 3" groups out at 950-1000. Never once felt underpowered. But a 3-20 or 4-20 is nice to have the extra 5x on top. You might not need it, but it is nice.

    Upgrade scope from Vortex Viper HS LR

    OK, you are REALLY talking about my preferences now. FFP Alpha glass. If you really want the best scopes money can buy, there are 3 brands I would suggest. 1. Tangent Theta. The TT315M is fairly lightweight @ 27.7oz. There is also the newly released TT315H with the same features, but a simplified reticle and locking turrets. They "only" have dual turn 20MOA turrets, so 40 usable MOA for elevation. I have shot my 6CM with one out to 1500 yards, so don't let the limited elevation scare you off. They can be hard to come by, but if you want one, they are worth the wait and price. I use CS Tactical for my purchases of the TT315M. Ask for Richard, and tell him I sent you. Also the heavier, but far more adjustable and feature rich TT315P. All three are 3-15×50, and have MOA reticles available. I own three TT315Ms with the Gen 2XR reticles. Also the predecessor to Tangent Theta, a Premier Heritage Light Tactical 3-15×50 and a Premier Heritage 5-25×56. I wouldn't own three if they were not amazing. I have shot them out past 1770 on steel and rocks. They are plenty for hunting at 1000+ yards. And the glass quality more than makes up for added magnification of other mid-range scopes. 2. Zero Compromise Optics. While they don't have MOA scopes available, MIL is easy to learn. I actually prefer MIL over MOA myself. ZCO 420 4-20×50. I own two now. They weigh in at 34oz, so a bit heavier. Features on them are like a Caddy. Very nice, and lots of them. Reticles in MIL are my favorite. MPCT1 is a simple .2MIL subtensioned crosshair. MPCT2 has a Christmas tree below. I have one of each. Wide FOV for the magnification, eye box is ridiculous, glass is unreal. Turrets are perfect, locking, and very tactile. 20x on top end is nice too. 36mm tube limits mounting options, but the ones that are available are top notch. I use ARC M10 rings for mine. Spuhr, Talley, Zeiss and a couple others are available too. 3. Schmidt & Bender. The scope that all others are compared to, and what they all strive to be. S&B has a few different models that fit the bill. PMII 3-20×50 or 3-20×50 Ultra Short. I have one of each. Big mag range, amazing glass, locking turrets, many reticle choices. New or used are plentiful. Ultra Short PMII 4-16×50. These are longer and heavier, but still a good choice. New or used available, but not as often as the 3-20 or 5-20. PMII 5-20×50 Ultra Short. I have one of these too. Shortest, lightest of the S&B PMII line. Amazing glass, locking turrets, but mounting options are very limited. I honestly don't know how or if these would fit on a LA. But on a SA, they fit well as long as you don't want to move it too far back. Can be had new or used easily. If you want to get behind any or all of them, let me know. We can meet at the range on some weekend.
