There was a thread on here where a couple of guys built a big cooler out of styrofoam and plywood from home depot. If I recall they made it so they could easily take it apart and put it together. I don't remember if they made it for an Elk or Buffalo hunt.

I have the old Canyon and it is great but the latches suck. My buddy and I each have one and the screws were pulled out of the latches within a couple of trips. The old style catches in everything in the bed of the truck. The new ones are FAR FAR better looking.

Good find! Wish they had a bigger one.

From all the lit on the BR2 it looks like the program leaves the tweaking to you to adjust for drift and Coriolis.

Let me know if you decide to sell just the rifle with no scope. Ammo as well. I am interested, thanks!

Great job!

Yep! I had a taillight replaced that would have been over $500 at the dealer but was $350 at a body shop. Don't beat me up I know that is still a STUPID price for a taillight but for an OEM replacement that was the best I found and I look 3-4 places before I buy anything for a car.

at 4 years old mine played with a crummy little pair of stadium binos. At 10 years old they were respectful enough and careful enough that they have been using a set of 10x42 swaro's and 8x42 Lupy gold rings. Of course they are ruined for life now looking through most other glass but I have not had any issues now for 6 years. That being said sounds like you are making a good choice.

I don't believe he was a customer of the guide. I talked to those guys a lot (unless it was a different guide, same situation) I believe it was a friend of theirs but he was out on his own. He was super excited, which was nice to see as with any hunter, even with his crew razzing him all along.

I saw one little one shot in 23 but hey it happens. Small bears seem to be more emotional than small deer but as far as the quota goes it really doesn't matter the size and people get excited. I can't really blame them bears are awesome and most people never see one. I wish they would add some rules like the ones you guys outlined. I also wish deer were fork or better, they don't have to go overboard, no draw for you the next year. Most people would never get checked or caught anyway but they would at least think about it. I never found a bear this trip but heard a few parties had good success. Standard stuff, go bear hunting and see lot's of deer.

What colors do you have available? I move into my new place in 4-5 months and have a 3 car garage to do.

Well we will be back out again this year feeding the mosquitos and getting a sunburn. Who else is going to do the 23S hunt next weekend? We will be in a white GMC crew cab and a white & red toy hauler. Also the big grey Avalanche with the tire on top. Always nice to say hi to some of you like last year if you are out. Knock 'em dead!

I don't have a t3 but have a 7mm. Ramshot and H1000 are my go to powders 70.5 and 69.5 grains. I pretty much only load the Ramshot now, it is awesome and very easy to work with since it is a ball powder. The 168's should be just shy of 3000 fps based on my tinkering.

I actually like this idea. I am going this year but I shot a bear last year so my intent is to get my buddy or my dad a shot if we can find one. I would be fine if they said you have a 2 year break after shooting one. They are awesome critters and there is nothing like seeing one and giving fair chase.

I almost googled egg corn! I think the pears are doing pretty well but you know how that goes, once you think you know then they will be into the mesquite beans. Acorns, seems like they never turn em down. New answer from now on is they are in the egg corns!

awesome! I am pretty much going out blind this year. Just going back to some of last years good spots. Seems like the pears should be coming in nice with all of the rain in the last month.

Looks great! Does seem spendy but you only need one.

The viair seems to be the go to for a lot of off road clubs/forums. I researched these for quite a while last summer but just stuck with a cheap slime kit for emergencies. I have seen good review on the harbor freight model as well. If you are out a lot or need a sustem to air ip tires regualarly then spend the money on a better system. The better ones pump much faster and are built hardier. Also, get one that hooks to the battery the cig lighter systems limit you to the 12-15 amps at that socket the better ones will run at 30A and you have the option of a separate battery in your trailer. The Viair model link above is the one I will probably buy this year.

The sow I shot last year, my first bear, was 11 years old according to G&F.

Awesome! Who set yours up?

Sent you a text, thanks!

Anyone have a Triclawps they can part with this week? I didn't realize Amanda was out of stock and I need to find one by the weekend.

That looks great!

i am in Chandler in the Ocotillo area.

Sounds like you have one very good option.
