We all know bass pro bought cabelas they are also in the process of buying Sportsman’s warehouse . Its funny to me how one carry’s crap while the others are still a decent out door store . https://sportingclassicsdaily.com/bass-pro-parent-acquires-sportsmans-warehouse/ Wife and I made trip to bass pro in Auburn Saturday and I picked up 4 ladder stands Big game hunter 1.5 HD , they are rated for 350lbs and bass pro had them for $159 each with pretty good online reviews ( online doesn’t even say they have them in stock but they had 25 or so stacked up in the store ) One just doesn't find a ladder stand rated for 350 lbs with large platform seat etc . at that price. I’m 280 so when fully dressed and full gear Im close to the 300 lb rating on standard stands , I ike a bit more wiggle room on my weight rating. Plus I don’t have moogs ballerina skills ..

That first guy just looks pitiful. some nice ones, hope to see your hands wrapped around the antlers of one.

We don’t buy trucks for the gas milage . Nice rig ..

You may want to hold off on the vortex, I was looking at scopes for my cva optima and after looking through a Burris full field E1 I bought it. Got it home and compared it side by side to my vortex diamond back on my 300 savage and liked the Burris better. As for powder etc. I could only find 777 powder, I went with crush harvester sabots (from the recommendations of the guys on here) I bought the ones for 44 mag projectiles as I have a bunch for my 44 mag SRH. If your going to run loose powder you do need the QR breech plug I got mine from Amazon for like $34 .

I have 2 Leupolds a vortex and a Burris. My eye likes the Leupold’s best but man the Burris I bought has impressed me. It’s a very close second .

Local news in the morning. I use YouTube to pick and choose what fox clips I watch .

I’d say for your first time , you did a great job.

Good old baking soda also works to remove scent and not add any brighteners.

Yeah but it would be so much easier to take a wiz out of the stand in just a loin cloth.

I just don’t understand people at times .

As I’m sure you know the more weight you add to the tip the weaker the spine of your arrow will be . I’d say experiment and what ever arrow set up shoots the best out of your bow that’s the one .

If you ever need some help breaking in those new targets I’ll be happy to make a drive and help out .

Looking forward to watching some archery / shooting and weightlifting .

I would like to make a recommendation for grease , not sure what type you use but Valvoline crimson is a very very good grease. When I was the head mechanic at the bus garage our fleet supervisor had all the terminals switch to this grease and across the board in all terminals ( about 1500-1600 busses ) we saw a huge decrease in parts replacement using this grease.

As others said he’s cool , good luck tagging him.

Unfortunately the powers that be that took over archery talk decided to do away with the feed back. I had several years of positive feed back, poof up and gone .

Have you had your draw length officially checked ? I’m not saying your not a 30 but that seems it might be a tad long for you. Archery talk classifieds would be they way to go for a good price on a bow . Ive sold and bought a ton on there, if you’d like a helping hand pm me and we’ll figure something out. FYI I have my own bow shop ..

30,000 in a day wow. That just sounds like fun .

Love me some ultimate feast, good choice. I really like the flag stock great looking 22 , happy birthday kiddo..

I know a senior police investigator. He has echoed every thing you’ve said, he’s counting the days till retirement and knows many others that are riding out their short time till they can retire and are not doing anything to jeopardize that retirement . Others are saying the hell with it and are taking early retirement and others are putting in applications in red states to move on.

My dad bought me a H&R single 12 I used it for - rabbit , squirrel , turkey’s. then when I turned 16 ( way back when we had to wait till we were 16 to hunt big game ) he had a gunsmith machine a dovetail mount and installed a rear flip up sight. Killed plenty of deer with that smooth bore and Remington sluggers. I still have it, man I haven’t shot it in many many years. First archery kill was with a Hoyt magnatec and xx78 aluminum arrows .

Off season is in full swing …

I have to say all this my truck is better than yours is funny to me, I’m a Ford guy but No manufacturer None has a vehicle that’s fool proof even Toyota’s. Do a internet search on any vehicle made and you’ll find some one who’s had problems. If any brand is so awesome and reliable then why do dealerships have bays and their own tech’s .

Well Ive hunted for the better part of my hunting life with out them , so would I say I need them , no . But I would miss using them, As I’ve gotten some pretty cool photos of game.

Man it will be here before we know it, I need to finish sighting in my new single pin slider, plus get our stands and blinds up on the new lease.
