At deer camp last week there were two Kodiak’s and two Tetons. No effective difference that I saw between the two. That being said, we have a Kodiak 10x14 and love it

Got to share youth deer camp with some good friends, with three youth tags in camp. My son had killed a spike last year and was looking for forked or bigger this year. One of the hunters was looking for his first deer and was first up to bat. Opening morning a buddy located a couple small bucks, including a shooter 2x2 with a small forky. They bedded them, and we watched them a few hours, waiting for them to get up and offer a shot. They finally did, and a first deer was harvested! The forky stuck around and even though he was bigger then a spike, my son decided he was too young and let him walk. Day two, another buddy showed us a new area. We worked a ridgeline glassing fingers on the ridges to the east and west. After a mile or so and the 3rd glassing spot, this guy was spotting working up a draw and feeding. We knew he was a shooter in an instant. He wasn’t in a hurry, but sure wasn’t gonna bed for us. He was moving towards a small saddle. He was at 650 yards, and we could maybe shave 200 yards getting to the next ridge but wouldn’t be able to get there before he was over the ridge and gone. It was a now or never type of thing, and the deer was broadside, slightly quartering to. I trust the gun and dope, and my son can shoot. We made sure he had a solid rest, dialed for distance and had him hold for a slight breeze. Kid was cool as a cucumber. At the sound of the shot, the deer hunched and I knew we had a hit, but he ran over the saddle so we couldn’t confirm. It was a long 30 minutes to hike down the one ridge and up the other but we found him about 20 yards from where he was the shot, piled against a tree just over the crest. Entrance was middle on onside shoulder, exit just behind off shoulder. His smile says it all and I couldn’t be prouder! The third hunter is still looking for something special, so send some big buck vibes his way this week!

Luke at Arrowhead Rifles just built a muzzleloader for me and it’s been absolutely impressive, I’d recommend them for anything

I Have both an sat-capable IPhone and and inreach mini. The sat messaging has been flawless so far over the past year but I need a bit more time with it before I give up the mini. The PLB aspect of the mini is a nice safety net but the timeliness of messages getting through was always rough, we missed a kid getting on elk trying to message through the inreach once.

Dove opener never fails to remind me how wildly inconsiderate people are, but I’m sure we’ll be out there. Hard to break tradition. -
I’m in too

The 4s on that bull were absurd

That’s a neat little gun, GLWS
