Thanks for the post. I’m booked for a blacktail hunt on Kodiak next November. This post really gets me excited. I’ll probably asking you a bunch of questions between now and then. Congrats, looks like quite the adventure

Nice job Ray. Glad to see your wife was able to put him down

Who mounted your sitka blacktail? That is a beauty. I’m hunting them next year

Thanks man.

I know someone that did the same thing and got checked by g&f. Was not hassled at all. If the warden is a real d!ck they might TRY to do something but in the court of law, you’d be fine.

Just do it. No way you’d lose that battle. The animal you shoot needs to be in the unit you have the tag for. Nothing says the projectile needs to leave from the same unit.

Man, that’s a lotta turks on the wall. Here’s my favorite wall. Lots of other mounts but i like how this one turned out

i'm sure if you took it to a hardware store, you could find a screw that would match the threads and work fine. might have to trim it down to the correct length. That or call Harris. I'm sure you're not the only one that has ever happened to. looks like you can get one off brownells. https://www.brownells.com/shooting-accessories/bipods-monopods-amp-accessories/bipod-accessories/knob-bipod-speedy-knob-prod13191.aspx

Sounds like he really came in "clutch"

Thanks man. Doesn't sound like it was near the adventure you guys had though.

holy cow. What a giant

i got 126"

IMO the best spotting scope for the money. Sold mine recently and REALLY regret it.

Would cooking them not “kill” whatever they’re packin? Nearly every bear packs trichinosis. I hope that doesn’t discourage people from eating them. I just got done eating backstraps off a buck who’s liver looked WAY worse than that

Holy cow. Shame both sides didn’t match. Huge buck. Congrats

Where are you located?

I am looking to purchase one of these but cannot decide on which one. Does anyone have any experience with both? I am not real worried about the actual rangefinder capabilities as i am ease of use and accuracy with the ballistic program. Any input would be greatly appreciated

It’s awkward for me to use because of the angle. I don’t feel like i find any animals that i wouldn’t have found with 15’s and i miss having a big 70x zoom spotter. They’re cool and all, i just don’t think it’s for me.

I bought the BTX about 4 months ago and am not thrilled with it to be honest. I’ll be packing it this hunting season but most likely selling after. I think 15’s and a spotter is the ticket. I might change my mind after a full season of use but i really doubt it.

Seeker, i’m calling bullshit.

They deliver a lot of that pipe. might be worth giving them a call to see how much they'd charge to do so. i think it comes in 40' sticks

Bonanza Steel in Queen Creek sells it. They’ve always got a boatload of it

I’ve got some amd could spare one. Ordered some on Amazon for like $10 delivered. Probably the easiest thing to do if you need it soon. Or a $0.50 helicoil from a hardware store works good https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Adapter-Converter-Camcorder-Ballhead/dp/B07567PHSZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=3%2F8+to+1%2F4+adapter+tripod&qid=1570753456&sprefix=3%2F8+to+1%2F4+adapter+t&sr=8-3

Seeker, you can’t say you shot a 430 bull and avoid everyone asking for pictures. Was it a gay elk?

It must have fluorite
