Stellar finds! Let me know if you want to go chase the kitty

Great pack. GLWS

Great job! What a cool looking buck. Congrats on an awesome hunt.

Awesome story, and great buck! Huge congrats. I love the 3 generation thing the most.

Why does Electric Boogaloo come to mind? JK, GLWTS!

I'm all for paying a little more for good gear, but I've never gotten the super pricey pocket knife thing. It's not like I ever lose them - heck I'm in my 50s and have pocket knives I've owned since I was a kid, but, really how much better can they cut than a $40 knife? I think Curtis is right - kind of a "look what I got" thing as opposed to actual functionality.

That pump setup brings back memories. When our family got our first fifth wheel, the water tank wasn't very big so I always brought a 50 gallon drum and would use a setup similar to that to refill the tank when it got low.

Klymit by far if you want it for backpacking

Nice job, Shelvin!

I got the Kenetrek gaiters for that exact same reason - keeping my pant legs from getting soaked in dewy grass. I really like them. That said, KUIU are in the outlet right now for $39.99 which is a really good deal. https://www.kuiu.com/products/outlet-kuiu-scree-gaiters-ash

I have one that's almost identical. My late grandfather ice skated out on a frozen lake to collect enough walnuts to make $5 to buy it at the local hardware store - true story.

CRAP! Never fast enough. I call seconds!

Sounds like a smokin' deal. GLWS.

Somebody's got to have a pic of that! Too funny.

What a beautify fish - congrats man. I bet that was an epic battle.

19 in November for me. Great to see you TJ! Huge thanks to Amanda for creating this place for folks to get together and share stories, etc.

I put one of these on my turkey gun - pretty sweet.

The great news is, this high flow is cleaning up the bottom, giving room for the crawdads to thrive, which is, of course, the main food source. It's been hard to watch over the last decade or so with all the fires, gravel banks turning into mud, the gross slimy gray moss. Looking forward to going back in to see if it cleaned out as much as I'm hoping. There were places I could see debris in the trees higher than I could reach, so fingers crossed.

I was there May 6 and it was unfishable. It looked OK at first but moving way too fast, and impossible to cross. Even went to Bonito instead and it was also way too high and fast. Not sure how much it's changed in 11 days.

The old-school swarovski doubler for sure. +1 on any vortex rangefinder - they blow.

That's a great bird, and to do it with a muzzle-loader is even better. What made you decide to use the ML on a hunt that took 26 points to draw? That takes some pretty serious confidence IMO.

Nice job! Loving all these goulds threads.

That's a SUPER cool tom. Congrats. I'm guessing you're going to do a fully body mount.

Very cool! Sounds like you guys had a blast. Nothing like getting into them when they're vocal! Congrats guys!
