Right, because a treestand is equivalent to a human life. : I had a blind stolen from me this past season. I might spit in the face of the person who took it, but I would never condone shooting them.

Looks like my taxes will be deposited tomorrow, if so Ill be bringing her home this weekend!

Yeah Im looking at something with green for early season, probably the Spring Green.

I quit smoking, and I dont like the smell, but I think any outdoor smoking ban is way over the line. Please, the air quality in NYC sucks anyway lol. (Not why I oppose it, just saying) I personally feel that the indoor ban is over the line as well.

I didnt want the heavy barrel. I do quite a bit of hiking in and out and still hunting, so I dont need the extra weight. This one has a scope with it, Im just replacing it with a better one.

If you wanted something mid weight, youd have been better served with the fleece Jacket. Throw a light or mid base layer under that jacket and you should be good to go. Which color did you go with?

Fixed the pics for ya. Very nice BTW

I played Sax when I was in high school, put it down my Junior year and never picked it up again. I still have 2 of them laying around lol. I started learning guitar 6 or 7 years ago, but never really had time for it. One of these days Id love to give it another go, but not right now.

Ive decided that I can let this go for $200 plus shipping (if needed). Its not going to get used and Id rather see someone enjoy it.

Bingo! Like most other issues, we dont need MORE laws, we need to do a better job enforcing the ones that already exist. If you go to a gun show and illegally purchase a gun, guess what, you arent a law abiding citizen. If you knowingly sell a gun to a criminal or prior felon, guess what, you arent a law abiding citizen. If you get caught illegally selling or buying a gun or guns, you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed to own a firearm again. Now THAT is common sense.

Thanks for the advice BTW, your 4x Leupold FXII 4x33 fixed power weighs in at 9.3oz. Thats not that much less (less than 3oz) than the variable with illuminated reticule. Just sayin.

I appreciate your input Pygmy, but I dont get caught at high power with any of my scopes. When I am hunting, I keep my scope set on the lowest power. I use binoculars and dont look at anything through my scope unless I am going to shoot it. The only time the higher powers come into play is on a still target, so I have no reason to crank it up until the last moment anyhow. At 12 ounces, the scope I am looking at isnt heavy or much larger than the scope that comes on it from the factory.

Judging from the size of it compared to the objects near it on the bank of the stream, it isnt very big, probably a bobcat, but its hard to tell. Its not a mountain lion though, way too small.

Didn't think of that. Great point. Since it isn't using a base it might have to be one of the cross lock type rings Crap. Well, thanks for pointing that out Steve, you saved me some hassle. Maybe Ill get the twist ons for my 223 and use the rings I have on that for the shotgun, or Ill just use the factory ones.

If you ever want to check one out, let me know.

Oh, and Im going to go with the Leupold twist on rings you showed me.

Thanks, pretty much what I thought. I think Ill go with the Crossfire with the illuminated reticule. Im extremely happy with the Crossfire I have on my 223.

Good point Doe, that would be a great option to be able to build your own. Culver, Im gonna take your advice on the 3-9. One more question, whats the difference between a nitrogen filled tube and an argon filled tube? Besides what they are filled with lol.

Thanks. Yeah Im still not sure which scope to go with. Im going to sell tha factory scope and rings, so what I get for that might dictate which one I get, of course, I have a good bite on the bow I have for sale, so that money just may pay for the more expensive scope. Decisions, decisions. Anyone have any advice on the scope? Here are the two contenders.... http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-crossfire-3-9x40-riflescope-v-brite-illuminated-reticle http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-diamondback-2-7x35-riflescope-dead-hold-bdc-reticle

Thats a cool piebald

Nice vid, keep 'em coming!

Exactly

I hear ya on the dog thing, we have a Chihuahua that wont go in the snow if its deeper than a couple of inches. I have to shovel a spot out back off of the steps for her. Friggin ankle biter. ;D

Really? Did he have PROOF!..... I didnt infer that there were bears there for sure, I said there were reports. With the advent of trail cams, etc there is now proof.

Supposed to get a couple of inches tomorrow and then a foot or more Tuesday night and Wednesday around here. Its starting to get tough to get into the areas I want to go for predator hunting. Ill have to get snow shoes for next year lol.
