If they show agression towards me, they are dead. Especially the ones that strike without a rattle.

I think the only thing you can spear are suckers and carp?

Too bad the other side didn't match on the one. Huge bucks

Aren't we special?

used to have the same one, but the 1200 model. lost it on a hunt. it was a red display.

that's gonna be a pretty tall order i think. most of the good rangefinders are red, because black is nearly impossible to see in low-light situations. have you looked through a high end rangefinder? the reticle in them is usually much clearer. cheap rangefinders are exactly that. when they advertise 800-1000 yards, they will usually only work for about 60-70% of advertised range, in a hunting situation. i think they get their range limit that they advertise by shooting them at a big mirror at the specified range. i have a pretty nice, new leupold 1000 and it will realistically only range 800 yards dependably in a hunting situation

Looks like you did not in fact learn how to post pictures

when you extend the tube it makes the setup a lot more wobbly.i have a hard time justifying $500 on a set of aluminum tripod legs. very over priced for what you get IMHO

the laptop is nice because you can download the pics and clear off the card. saves having to buy 2 cards for every camera to swap them out. most tablets don't have enough memory to download a multiple 8-16 gig memory cards in a day

i think it might be this one. i don't think vortex "makes" them anymore.http://www.manfrotto.us/055xb-tripod-and-128rc-micro-fluid-head-with-200pl-14-plate. that's the same head mine came with as well, and it works very good. says it extends to 74", which seems about right

i'm a little over 6'4" and have a vortex tripod tripod. i think it's made my manfrotto. the legs and head were about $300. it would probably work for a guy that's 6'7" or so. it's like packing a boulder in your pack, but extremely sturdy. i have beat the h#ll out of it for 6-8 years now with no issues. i USE my equipment, not babied

The savage 111LRH rifles give you a lot of bang for your buck and i have never heard anything bad. they come with probably $1000 worth of extras that you would have to pay extra for on most stock rifles (karsten adjustable comb, muzzle break, good trigger, aluminum bedding block) i own one in 338 lapua and it's a shooter and i know a lot of guys that shoot them in other calibers. probably couldn't go wrong with it

raw bacon is the ticket. they can't tear it up as quickly as other stuff

we hit the mother load at crosby crossing a few years ago. must have caught 3-400 in a couple hours. nearly filled a 10 gallon turkey fryer to the top. man are they tasty boiled up with some old bay and dipped in butter

+1 on the laptop. I haul mine in every setup

Tony liked to think that he was a celebrity, and none of the ordinary folks on here knew their @ss from a teakettle. I don't think he ever killed an animal that wasn't on a guided hunt, yet he liked to tell all of us average joes how he is the great white hunter and because he is an "outdoor writer" everyone needed to treat him differently and believe every bull$hit word that came out of his mouth. People got tired of it. That is the abridged version

chicken skin works well too. don't have to worry about wasting bacon or catching fish

Hopefully not

that one bull is gonna be nice. could be one of the ones you were hoping would show up

stupid question.

We used to trap crawdads quite a bit. Bacon was always our bait of choice

i think most people agree that the kowas are a lot higher quality with better clarity

i put a set of xtreme hardcore gear force recon rings on a similar rifle, just the 338 lapua version. i love them. they have a built in level also. they are pretty expensive, but rings and bases are not where you decide to go cheap

Someone wants to do some flat heading

I can't believe how big those bulls are already. gonna be some big suckers killed this year
