I don't see many, if any "liberal whimps" in this conservation. Curious, who are you directing this insult at, specifically?

I bet my wife these would be up within a week, not the kind of "winning" I'd hoped for.

I stand by my quoted post but credit where due, customer service was noticeably better and the quality of the mounts was everything I paid for with just over 1-year turnaround. I continue to be impressed with Mogollon's work and can't imagine giving anyone else future projects.

Very similar knothead, but 20 instead of 30 years so far. I chickened out on my sheep hunt. While practicing and shooting the greatest archery of my life, I intentionally left my bow in the truck and grabbed a rifle the day (2) I went after my target ram. He ended up coming below me 80 yards as scouting predicted he may. Shooting him with a rifle that close was bittersweet. I will never know if I'm a chump or if my decision was commendable, but I was terrified of wounding a true trophy animal and having him lost or run on inaccessible (YPG) lands. I'll try to stay off a high horse but I hate seeing wounded animals and wish shooting and as much real-world prep for the shot as possible was trendy. Critter numbers are declining behind my upgrading optics and experience.

Good luck, OP.

Call me today, pretty sure I've got a pound of H4350 for you buddy. Edit- I have extra 1lb H1000 and H4895, not H4350. Sorry.

Great job, Dad! Kent Fasteel is good stuff and tough to beat for straight steel. If you stick with any steel, go up to size 2 at least, 1s may be good, BB may not carry enough pellets for the 20g. A box of each, patterned on a board at 40 yards may decide for you. BB is also unnecessary for anything smaller than fat migrating mallards. 4s don't quite do it unless shooting specificly teal or head shots. I personally use 2s on an average day and lead the bird so much that I miss forward completely or get those pellets in the head. One consideration if you are willing to spend a little money, roll your own steel/TSS "duplex" loads. You can turn that 20 into 12g effectiveness or beyond with TSS. Or lastly, try bismuth off the shelf, more weight in the pellet lends to smaller shot sizes and more pellets in the load. Genuinely, those are mergansers and are as bad as a coot for table fare, maybe just keep that in consideration (basically every other species of duck and goose tastes better). Send me a pm if you want to get into decoying birds, there isn't much better than that!

$5k is a great price, especially with the recent service listed. GLWS.

Too bad her dad let her shoot a dink. Jk. Man that is awesome, congrats even if many years later I'm sure.

Congratulations to Zane and great job, Dad!

This was hard to resist. Good deal for what appears to be a great outboard. Glad you sold it quick!

Dang.

Good job and thanks for sharing!

Narrow-minded comment, now you're becoming ignorant beyond your logic. Not all plants go dormant. Elk eat more than grass. "Of course it would be more optimal" is precisely OPs point. You went negative. If you can't see that perennial vegetation and hydrologic conditions will benefit significantly from the current precipitation, then there isn't much left to say. Enjoy the weather 😎

Your comment on growth is just incorrect and your logic is ignorant to seasonal hydrologic and biotic relationships. I like OPs word-use "primed," a great way for our watersheds to be going into moisture during any month. Very nice is the answer to OPs question!
