I also fished the Kenai River for the first time. Was there July 13th - 20th. It was awesome! Brought back 53 pounds of salmon. Went to Homer but did not fish.

Crispi Valdres...love 'em

They had a "buy one get one half off" last year. My son and I split the cost. They have worked well for pistol and rifle (with a brake), and at the range with others shooting. I would buy again, and consider the wireless.

Check the price on the Ozark Trails at Walmart. I bought one a few years ago and was really impressed with it. It has held up great. I just stake the feet with tent stake nails and guy down the corners. Get the straight leg version or the actual shade dimension is reduced.

I have a set of Axil's. They work great at the range. Noise canceling, amplifying, Bluetooth to phone. They also have a wireless set. I intend to try them this season for hunting. https://goaxil.com/products/gx-extreme?variant=33887794561083&tw_source=google&tw_adid=646241365368&tw_campaign=19621004338&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtZK1BhDuARIsAAy2Vzu34PqXemUfrGGufVoNekugVdfZJgpSnHIiKBZKrYUrwB76DhCUDMsaAmniEALw_wcB For hunting I usually have the plastic "hoop" type around my neck. https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Reusable-Plugs-Protection-Construction/dp/B07R6NVPQN/ref=asc_df_B07R6NVPQN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17953808598233311843&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030040&hvtargid=pla-2281435178338&psc=1&mcid=82e8f6adc9333a7cb954c7d3b2c01313&hvocijid=17953808598233311843-B07R6NVPQN-&hvexpln=73&gad_source=1

We used to hunt around Bellota Ranch about 40 years ago. Got into some decent bucks. I have no idea what it's like now. I'm thinking they converted it into a "dude ranch" type operation. Watch out for the shin daggers!

Wow! You Drew with 17 bonus points?!

Thanks! Got our usual, unit 22 Oct.

Good scope. Love mine.

I had Hunter come out to my place in Mesa. He diagnosed the problem with my DEF system. Had to order the part, which shipped from Michigan. He took care of the ordering and picking up. Came back out, got my truck running without codes. Truck was only down for a week. Very nice guy. Good communication. Knowledgeable mechanic. Likes to talk hunting. Thanks Hunter. Still no codes 😁

This is my mother's uncle, on her Dad's side. He was one of seven brothers. I knew him for time, through my teens. He was an extraordinary man...larger than life, to me. He was a gunner on a flying fortress, which was shot down. The crew parachuted out, behind German lines. His chute malfunctiond, causing him to hit the ground hard, breaking his leg, ankle, and injured his back. He was captured and a POW for nearly a year. Attached is more of his story. Interesting read.

I think I have 23. Holding out for a rifle tag. My buddy drew an archery tag this year with 22 points.

I wish I could do that in my neighborhood.

I searched the web, forums, and Vihtavuori site and can't find it. Anyone have that info? Thanks.

My package tracking shows "delivered" to Healy's. I guess I have patience and wait for them to contact me?

There is also a traditional NFA Gun Trust. It seems you can put multiple items in this one trust. It's a shame that this has to be so complicated. https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/blogs/nfa-gun-trust-atf-information-database-blog/single-shot-trust-vs-traditional-nfa-gun-trust

Mine is supposed to arrive at Healy's tomorrow (Thursday). It's my first suppressor so it's all new to me. Can I put it in my family trust or is it best to do the single shot trust?

Great Mother's Day gift!!!

I was all set to head up to 5A this morning for the last two days. Before pulling away, I checked highway conditions and saw that 87 northbound is closed due to a wreck. This first week is not meant to be, for me. It's been one thing after another. I hope to get up there for the second part of the hunt. Glad to see some success from other posts!

Heading to 5A Sunday for my turkey hunt. Plan to access the unit from the west, Hwy 87. FR300 or FR141. Will be pulling my 32' 5th wheel. I believe the roads are open, but wondering what condition they are in? Any first hand knowledge? Thanks.

Is there still snow on the ground? Any luck finding sheds?
