I have and use both the Swing Blade and a Havalon knife. I find they compliment each other very well. With the Havalon being so small and light it is nothing to throw in my pack, while I put the Swing Blade on my waist. I shot a nice bull last fall and was really glad to have both.. The Swing Blade was awesome for opening him up and cleaning him out. But the sharpness and the ease of changing blades rather than sharpening while caping and skinning were great. As I started butchering I broke a couple if the thin Havalon blades so switched back and forth depending on my butchering needs. I have many knives but these are the two that will be in my gear again this fall.

Thanks! I might give them a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't considered the possible mesh problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I wish moving the 30 yard pin was as simple as it would seem. But it is not just the 30 yard pin. It is also the 40, 50, and 60 yard pins. Under normal circumstances, not a big deal. But when you recently sliced the skin, muscle, and tendons down to and away from the tibia and fractured your tibia, simple tasks become a bit more difficult. I'm not complaining, just looking for suggestions of feasible solution given my situation and time to prepare. Thanks

I have never used the Minox but have heard great things about the glass and the warranty service. I am a Vortex guy myself, but if they don't work for you give the Minox a try.

I like a mix of apple and pecan. Most definitely I would suggest leaving the skin on for both added fat, moisture, and flavor.

I'm with you, if I were to just happen upon an animal in the woods the lion would make me much more nervous than the bear. Can't really say why though.

Vortex Skyline 20-60x80 Spotting Scope (straight). I bought this scope for my bull elk hunt this past fall but shot my bull so quick into the hunt that this scope never left the cabin. It is in new condition. I have the box and all of the original packaging. I paid $500 for this scope last October.
