$250?

48" across the glass.

I typically will carry my M&P Shield 9mm concealed and my XDm 9 when not concealing.

They don't stack well. I stack them upside down / rightside up 2 high, but it's not optimal. I want to say it measures about 4.5 feet, but that's just a guess. I'll have my wife measure it when she gets home.

It was actually my friends first javelina, I just helped him out. The picture is of my friend with his trophy. It's almost more exciting helping someone else get their first animal than getting one for yourself.

Thanks Red Rabbit, PM sent.

Does anyone here have the G&F Bonus point reports (bonus point pass and 1-2 point pass) by hunt number from the past couple years? I'm looking for Elk/Pronghorn and Fall reports. I'm working on a project and need that data, but I can only access the most recent reports on the G&F website.

I have this same jacket. Love it!!

Last year for my pig hunt it was around 10 degrees upon waking up, and they were out cruising around at 7:00am.

So I'm thinking about getting a memory foam mattress topper to use as a cot pad. I can get a king size topper and cut it in half, and it will yield 2 great comfortable cot pads for much less than a actual cot pad of decent quality. Has anybody tried this? I'm looking for someone with experience to see if it works for staying warm and comfortable. I'm not planning on backpacking anywhere with this, so weight isn't really an issue. It's all about comfort.

I've got a pair of these I use as loaners. Great glass for the money.

I'd be all over this if I were you. Great deal. http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexviper20-60x80

7mm/08 for me as well. Great round.

Congrats!

No experience with the Zeiss, but my first pair of "real" binoculars were Vortex Diamondback 10x50 and they were great. I've since upgraded, but for the money they're tough to beat.

4-12 for sure. I have the Viper 6.5-20x50 and LOVE IT! I don't feel like I can do anything with a 3-9.

If you're mostly tent camping then a square/rectangle bag is definitely the way to go. I use a Slumberjack Big Timber and love it. Nice and big and warm with a comfortable flannel liner. You may want to look into promotive and see if you qualify for any of the teams on there. I get Big Agnes, Kelty, and Slumberjack all at close to half off through it.

I upgraded to the Swaros after last years deer hunt. I was struggling with the edge clarity of the Kaibabs and having to adjust my FOV on the tripod more often than I'd like due to lack of edge clarity. It was really frustrating me so I took the dive. The Swaros fixed that problem and are very clear to the edge. The sharpness of the image and the color is slightly better than the Kaibabs. To say that the Swaros are WAY better, I would say that depends on the person and their preference. For me, I'd say they're WAY better in edge clarity, slightly better in sharpness, brightness, and color.

This. I just upgraded to the Swaros from the Kaibabs and there is a big difference. Well worth the extra cost if you can find some in the $1300-$1500 range.

I'm looking at getting a new rifle and finally upgrading to something of quality. I've narrowed it down to either of these three: Tikka T3 Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 Savage 11/111 Both the Tikka and the Weatherby have the sub moa guarantee. Do any of you guys have some input?

I came across a similar trail up North in 7. This area has no cattle & no illegals. My best guess was a deer/elk trail.

Congrats! Very exciting.

I just got some sitka gear and love it. Next is core4element which is good. But I also have some cabelas realtree that does the job.

Prayers going out to little Luke. I found the link for you: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/4vr3/lovinglittleluke
