Is this a funny?

Nope this one was different in how they hit cards in batches

Don’t get your panties in a bunch there little fella. Maybe I’m just a little raw from not drawing anything yet again, and you’re asking for help 5 seconds after finding out you drew a tag. I was just amazed at the turnaround speed, wasn’t saying anything negative. Congrats on the tag, don’t mind me I’m just pouting

Didn’t waste any time did ya?

Usually happens all at once the morning of, this year something happened and they are hitting cards in batches

That’s it, I’m putting in for the kaibab hunt next year

Haha 3 legs of 5 sections each…

The 525c is similar just 5 leg sections vs 3. I prefer the 3 because it’s more convenient and quicker to mess with 2 locks per leg vs 4, and I think it’s probably a little more stable. The 525 takes up quite a bit less room though. Might matter to you, mine gets strapped to the side of the pack so it’s a non issue. one other preference to think about is twist vs lever locks. I’ve used both and have got used to either… but I prefer twist locks

It’s definitely a good one. I’ve had friends thatve used them for years. I went with the Benro. It’s been excellent except the handle bolt came loose and rattled around in the side by side to the point it stripped out so I had to epoxy the whole thing on. That was years ago and it’s still going strong. my opinion, as far as function, those 2 heads are equal. The va-5 seems built a little sturdier, more metal pieces, weight is virtually identical,and is what I’d probably go with if mine craps out on me at some point. little side note, my promaster came with a very usable ball head that also panned, so if moneys a little tight, it should work fine until you get a pan head. In fact my wife still uses the promaster head and likes it… as far as the promaster xc325c vs the manfrotto 290, id 100% go with the promaster. Much much lighter and just as stable. There are also some slik equivalents that are pretty nice as well that I have friends that really like.

Chris at Automotive and Diesel Performance is about as honest and knowledgeable as they get, highly recommend

Ahh I see. Pretty nice bull for one of those February hunts!

As long as you’re talking about a different blake then I am….. congrats on a great bull!

Don’t feel bad man, I’ve missed 2 nice bucks this month. Heartbreaking! One I dialed my sight up then forgot to reset it. The other I stuck a barrel cactus I didn’t know was there right at last light. Frickin idiot.

How long does that take you?

That’s just crazy…. Heavier then my promaster (and 7x the cost) and likely not much better if at all. I’ll stand corrected if I’m wrong but I just don’t see how it would be much more stable.

No mines the dewalt, score 1 for Milwaukee

That’s cool. The impact driver won’t loosen lug nuts on my truck, but the impact wrench does easily

I use them both, Milwaukee at work and dewalt at home. They are both awesome, I don’t prefer one over the other. I’d probably go with dewalt just because I think there are more tools out there that use their battery

Sent you a message

My experience is sometimes they break in an animal, sometimes they don’t. Usually they don’t. I always figured it was from the movement of the animal breaking it after being hit, I’ve never seen one break on impact before the animal ran

One of the cooler forks I’ve seen, looks great on the hanger

Full of whining and entitlement…What part of California are you from?

Should probably pay closer attention. No sympathy here

I’m amazed at how nice those came out! I’m gonna try it!
