Great your for your family!

Just kill an 80" buck and go home happy

Heat, you will likely never be able to tell the difference. I've gone through several drills, it takes a whole lot of use and abuse to kill a drill.

As someone who is a pro at sarcasm I think the problem here is you just happen to suck at it. However, you're passing the I'm an a$$hole test with flying colors.

Nice! Lots of good deer up on post. Congrats. I think I met you once from my buddy Robert. That is if you are the same Evan.

Depends where you are at. 35a had a good storm last week so we got snow caps and the creekbeds have water. Not sure about the area op is at.

I think diamondback 10's are still on sale for $120 at optics planet.

Sounds like it might be, but then again might not be. Do you have $ to get a better pair of binos? 15's are the standard but if you had to go cheaper and lower power id say a minimum of ten power. 12's could be a good compromise. You want to be sure before you go hike a mile for a doe. If you can not upgrade any gear, maybe try finding a pinch point of traveling route to water and just sit it.

Do they announce when they are going to be so people can plan on watching?

Its a good price likely everyone has very specific wants this close to xmas.

Your posting all sorts of goodies for sale. What else ya got?

Wife just came home and said she seen it from SV

You got a good load worked up for it? How does it shoot?

You catch the other thread about the ice cream? I guess there was a superstar mule deer that had numerous pictures eating ice cream cones out of peoples hands. That thread got locked. Seen it a thousand times. Deer get famous and before you know it there hooked on Ben and jerry's. Then when they can't handle the pressure of fame they jump in front of a speeding Toyota pick up truck to end it all. So very sad.

Don't be discouraged. Persistence is key. You now have valuable info that will help you next time. Since you live close spend the rest of they year learning the unit better and elk behaviors and you should be golden next time around.

Member big orange has the 6.5 for his daughter and his buddy has the 7-08. Says both are awesome. How i am doing it in my house is starting the kids on a 243 with a break \ silencer until they are comfortable then bump them to the 6.5 or 7-08 as there all around gun once they can carry around a little bigger rifle without banging it all up. I would not hesitate at all on the purchase other then the recoil for a young kid.

And a heck of one at that!

Its a long shot I guess but i have to run up to Phoenix today. Anyone know of a place in Tucson or the valley that has a huge selection of bean bags?

Thanks guys. Those are some fancy bean bags. These are for my kids so cheap o'll walmart bags for them.

China box.

the kind you sit in.

That's cool man. Gun totin old lady right there.

To rich for my blood but I remember when they first came out. They are beautiful guns.

You guys are nuts. It's way cooler to spend $15k so you can look rich while you drive around freezing to death and choking on other people's dust.

I had asked a similar question for kids. Since then started a sniper series on youtube and like trphyhntr mentioned tons of snipers use 10 power scopes. It really just comes down to What you are comfortable with.
