I just went thorugh the same drill at the beggining of the year. Looked at a bunch of stuff and had a lot of input and a lot of opinions from long time hunters. I ended up with the following. CBE Tek-hybrid adjustable 3 pin site. I started with a simple tru-glo 3 pin that was free. Rest is really personal preference I have an HDX rest but I have to admit that the pros of a whisker biscuit make a lot of sense. Namely not having the arrow fall off once your adrenaline is pumping after you just spent and hour on a stalk. Quiver same deal look at a bunch and find one you like. I have an Octane, very light and it matched my all black bow.

Oh the cooler is located in Chandler off the 202.

Scooter not sure where you live but I have one of the big white extreme coleman coolers I would give you. I just lost the hinges front and back on the last trip. They are just the right height to snap off on on my trailer. You could replace them or simply strap or tape the lid down once you fill it. I am going to upgrade this cooler so I need to get rid of it. I liked the idea Tony posted in the other thread about a cooler for a big animal. Plywood, insulation foam, and some screws or nails. You could build it ahead of time or just make it ready to nail together at camp if needed. Wrap the meat in plastic bags and line the wood/styrofoam box with a tarp. He said they froze a buffalo and used dry ice and it lasted soemthing like 5 days still frozen. If I ever get drawn for elk I will throw one of these together that exactly takes up about a third of the truck bed or a section of the trailer. I use coolers but mostly for ice and food and bringing home deer and smaller animals.

Nice job! They work even better on critters!

lets see what firstcoues comes up with.

Pelican reviews are good and they look to be very similar but retail was as much or more than yeti. If it is a big discount they would be worth looking at for sure.

I will take it but I am out of town this week. Will call you tomorrow.

Some nice heavy hitters there! Good luck with your sale! If I hadn't spent like crazy getting ready for this weeks hunt I would really have to think about the 460.

Same here the 125. Might buy a small one as well. For my uhhh soda pop....

Ernesto you should have said you were in town! I would have bought you and Tony a cerveza. Let me know when you come back for the new rifle.

Well done!

Me me me! Actually my daughter has a 3C tag, can't wait to get out there and try and get her a shot at her first deer. Actually first anything!

I use the wheeler kit as well. However, you can buy one small cheap level from the hardware store and do this. Step one draw a VERY straight level line on a piece of cardboard. Hang it so the line is level horizontally. Now take you rifle and set it up aimed at the target and use the level on the receiver or top of rings if they are flat and make sure your rifle is level. This is horizontal, right to left level. Now match the reticle to the line on he paper. Torque the screws half way alternating screw until they are all snug then alternate again until they are tight. Not beast mode it will never move kind of tight just tight enough that you put a small amount of force on them. Now you have a level scope... If you want to check the torque go to an auto store and ask to borrow a torque wrench. Do a search for your rings and correct foot pounds. For the base you can use lock tite but make sure you buy the lightest hold one, certainly not the permanent type. I would give colors but there are multiple brands so read the bottle.

This! ☝️ I have tried craigslist & eBay also without much luck this year. I am the same way. I have an enormous need to fell like I saved something. We need a group buy on canyon coolers... 20% off and I am in!

Yep u might want to stick with that one! Of course you may have a new gun that will shoot most loads very well. Congrats!

They should both have forest maps. Most of them have the GMU outlined. Another option is to download and print them yourself from a map service like Trimble. You can even by the map paper at Walmart or cabelas. Cabelas online maps are now the Trimble map and apps. Other option is to drive to world of maps and pay thm to print exactly what you want.

Exactly! I use my spotter the same way. It is also invaluable for 1,000yd type shooting, at least until the temp and mirage screw things up.

Getting a stick w an aluminum bedding block, probably will be good to go if you don't want to mess with pillar bedding. Barrel will also be floating if you by the stock for your specific rifle.

If i picked one it would be my 15x56's. I have the big Swarovski HD so it is not a matter of quality either, eye fatigue and comfort are the main reasons.

Only way I know that you can buy and then walk out with it is to have your CCW permit. Since you are on file already you get to leave with your new gun. Although I did not think there was a 3 day wait on rifles, thought it was only handguns. Call BP and ask them what their process/policy is and make sure they have the rifle before you make the trip.

Awesome! I think that deer gets 2 scores for having 2 sets of antlers. How many others could claim that! I gotta get a tag for San Carlos one year...

Tru-fire one of the higher end ones but looking at the Scott's though....

Email Berger they will send you the info the same day. Great service!

Happy Birthday Bill!

Very nice!
