But non-residents have to buy online and wait for the printed tag to arrive in the mail? (Based on conversation on another thread…) or can non-res opt in for OTC e-tags too? This is all getting very confusing even when reading the regs and FAQ info.

Now I’m wanting to order myself a 110. Just because. LoL

I prefer the Outdoor Edge hands down…definitely feels more like a knife in hand and handles really well. I even use mine in the kitchen sometimes. Agree the Havalon is more specialized. I don’t think either one is a memorable keepsake first knife for a kid though.

LoL I feel like I got ripped off in childhood with no Buck 110. And definitely no need for havalon as a gift for a kid…great tools but not memorable as a gift or a keepsake.

Sounds familiar. LoL

I still have the imitation stag handle Chinese knife from a flea market…my first skinning/gutting knife that never held an edge. Good memories but I wish it was better quality. Buck or Benchmade as others recommended or a smaller Buck or Old Timer if you’re thinking more of a pocketknife to carry daily. I received a very simple Cutco pocket knife for Christmas or a groomsman gift years ago and that’s become my favorite for daily carry.

Awesome…huge congrats and well worth the wait!

Fun memories. I had a Sheridan blue streak growing up. Nice pellet guns.

Adults out there that scare me worse.

I don’t know jack about custom builds or actions in general but this logic makes the most sense to me.

Love the cliffhanger…keep us hanging on for details! Fun following along so far…

Right on. Huge congrats!

Definitely. Had a similar situation on my buddy’s ram hunt…both hunters ended up tagging out by working together. Good luck!

I was going to suggest camofire too. Especially the Kings stuff. They run some good deals and better quality than the cheap stuff at Walmart.

Is he still growing? If so that’s hard to go with expensive stuff that gets outgrown. If you’re looking Kuiu there were a couple of good deals on here over the past couple weeks…all too skinny for me so they might fit him.

One kid I had to take to Sierra Vista. Just had to watch the website. I’ve heard if you contact them they’ll work kids in. my other kid I took to the YOU hunter Ed camp. That was a good experience.

Awesome buck...congrats!

Nice...congrats! Don't see that with a pistol very often.

and +1 on ammoseek for finding somewhat reasonable prices online.

If you’re still near Tucson (and assuming I’m remembering that correctly) the Ace on Houghton/Valencia had 25-06 last time I was in there. I’m sure it’s overpriced like all of their ammo has been.

Where’s 7-08 to tell us about .270 availability? 😂

12ga or 10ga? I assume 12 since the interwebs say a 10 would be the “supergoose” but just verifying. any pics?

Yes they’re vortex and yes they’re cheap, but this is a really good price for anyone looking for a bargain pair for a kid or to keep in the truck, etc…can’t beat $130 https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-opmod-diamondback-hd-10x42-binoculars.html
