    NEW SIG TECHNOLOGY

    Interesting. How is the glass on the Sig scopes? What might you compare it to?

    My Outdoor TV - anyone subscribed to this?

    I think that streaming allows for a lot more competition than cable and satellite do. Hopefully lots of competition keeps prices down.

    My Outdoor TV - anyone subscribed to this?

    FYI, I have a friend who has been hesitant to try these streaming services for fear that his internet might not be fast enough. I have Cox's cheapest, slowest plan. So cheap they don't advertise or tell you about it unless you ask. If you do ask about it, they will tell you it might not give you what you need for streaming, gaming, etc. I have had it for 9 months and have never once had an issue with streaming videos on YouTube TV, Netflix, etc. My kids have not had issues with their video games. Often, we are running multiple things at once, and it has been more than we have ever needed for anything. They are in the business of selling you the most expensive package they can regardless of what your needs actually are.

    My Outdoor TV - anyone subscribed to this?

    I dropped Dish Network last summer and went with YouTube TV. I've been REALLY happy with it. They keep adding channels almost monthly and pretty much already have (other than hunting channels) every channel we ever watch. With unlimited cloud DVR and the ability to take your shows wherever you go, you really can't beat it for $35 a month. Took a bit to getting used to casting from my phone or laptop. But I would never back. For outdoor shows, you can get a lot of great stuff on YouTube these days. Subscribe to The Mountain Project. They are putting out lot of great stuff. Here are the channels I currently get live on YouTube TV:

    Youth Turkey 2018

    Draysen and I loaded up and are on our way to 1/27 for his 2018 turkey hunt. He is determined that this year he is going to do it with his bow for the first time. We left Queen Creek a little over an hour ago, and are currently at The Burger House in Miami for a little pit stop. We won't be staying at the youth camp, but will be checking in from time to time. If you see us say hello. I will do my best to keep you updated on this thread. Good luck everyone!

    Live MeatEater Podcast at the Improv in Tempe

    I figured they would go quick. A lot of the BHA guys I know are buying up tickets as well. It isn't an overly large venue.

    NFL Draft

    Super happy with the pick.. They got probably the most NFL ready of the QB's and only gave a up a 3rd and 5th round , no future picks.. What a steal. Not a huge loss if he doesnt pan out. Leave it Oakland to make a dumb trade. They knew cards needed a QB and could have got so much more in return Yeah, I didn't figure you NFC West, but not Cardinals, fans would be big on this one. I LOVED it!

    Tips for Elk Ribs and the Gutless Method?

    Taking the ribs out without removing the guts would be like poking a water balloon with a needle and expecting it to stay intact. It doesn't happen. Easiest solution to accomplish what you want is gutting and hanging by a nearby tree.

    KT Tape for hunting?

    I haven't started using KT tape, but am definitely a fan of wrapping my hot spots with leukotape. I am prone to blisters on a few spots (primarily my toes). Leukotape has been a game changer. I wrap my toes and spots on my feet the evening before a hunt and it would stay on for weeks if you don't take it off.

    3C early archery Guide??

    I'm not following? What did he/you shoot with?

    Vanguard Alta 264AO (Tripod)

    A lot better. I am a fan of Vortex optics, but have not been impressed by their tripod offerings. I tried one of their tripods a few years ago (I am a bit of a gear junky and have tried more tripods than a sane man would) and returned it after the first trip.

    Vanguard Alta 264AO (Tripod)

    It's a pretty solid tripod/head combo for the price. I used one for several years before upgrading to a Slik/Manfrotto combination, but that over doubles your price point. I definitely prefer my Slik setups but did just purchase another Vanguard 264AO in January becuase of the growing number of hunters in my house.

    3C early archery Guide??

    I've spent the last three falls in 3C on multiple elk and deer hunts. Congratulations, you have a great hunt! Koury and Burnt Timber are probably the primary "locals" in that unit and are both great guides. I think both of them book up pretty quick, so you might have availability issues. I do believe they differ a little in style and approach. Shane is a great hunter and solid guy who I consider a personal friend. I have and would hunt with him any day. I've also had multiple interactions with the various memebers of the Burnt Timber crew. Awesome guys, very friendly, and they know their stuff. I really don't think you can go wrong with either. Feel free to shoot me a PM if youd like more specifics on either.

    Mr. Heather Big Buddy Propane Heater

    I have the Big Buddy heater that I run in my 10x14 flexbow. Warms it up really quick. I have the attachment and hose to hook it up to a big propane tank outside. I do not run it while we are sleeping, but it is great to warm you up at night before getting into bed and when you get up in the morning. It does have an oxygen sensor if you want to run it at night, but I don't think I would risk my family's life on that sensor. If I ever did decide to run it while we were asleep, I would have the tent well ventilated with a back up oxygen sensor in the tent at head level.

    Youth turkey 6a

    The Tom my son shot last weekend was brought in by his hen. He was quiet and not interested, but we had a clucking "argument" with his hen till she got mad enough to come looking for us and had him follow her in.

    NRA-tic cooler

    RTIC does have a 110 and a 145 for sell in their lineup. That sell off was a little over a year ago and they were back up and going by summer.
