I'd read years ago that foxes are more closely related to cats than they are to dogs, but I never heard of them climbing before. That's really cool, I guess you learn something new every day.

Thats kindergarten level smack talk for the class of aholes I hang out with. Typically speaking if someone calls you that, you just take as the staring line for a good natured game of 'gay chicken' or 'fire truck'.

Wow! Thats very creative. Do you know how many hours he has into that? Looks like he spent a minute or two...

Man, I must living in a cave or something, because I honestly had no idea you could have live lobster delivered to your door. Time to go show this thread to the wife and revise my wishlist.

Wow, awesome ram! Way to go!!!

I think there's a lot of adults who'd not give much better answers.

For me it's a question of time. If I only have a day to hunt, I'll stay low and glass for mulies. If I have a couple days to work with, I'll climb in further and sit for coues deer. Tomorrow morning I'm heading out to glass for a few hours, see if I can't find something horny.

I have the same pack too. You can carry enough stuff to go for a month if you want to, and as mentioned, its great for hauling animals. Except I'm too dang old to carry a whole deer anywhere, so I always cut mine in half and make two trips. Also great for hauling treestands, and infinitely more comfy than the useless straps that some treestands come with.

Awesome buck, good luck with him!

Awesome deer! Thats a great year for sure. Good luck in NM

Nice muley. Congrats!

Thats sad to hear. Ive only dealt with their customer service a couple times, and it was good, but that was many many years ago. I havent shot a pse in almost 10 years now. Bowtech has really great service, but the best customer service is the service you'll never need so the fact that I know how great their service is leads me to stay away from them. Currently, I'm giving mathews a try.

Tough as nails. Congrats. Whens the bbq, we all know you have plenty to share???

Awesome bull for any unit. Congrats on the bull and especially congrats on the grand baby!

Outstanding! Congrats to him.

Two tags filled, sounds like an awesome hunt. Congrats to you guys, good work gents!

My wife said I already have too many shells.....

My hats off to you Becker. Outstanding job and I think its so cool that your partner in crime helped the kid drop that beast. Great season all the way around, congrats!

Outstanding! Good shooting Zack, congrats on your deer!

I know the discount will expire, but I dont know about the dividend. I have everything I need now, so havent been back out shopping for a few years.

Check out REI, they have a couple stores in the phoenix area. I've got a bunch of REI bags, tents & packs that I've been using forever. Their gear is considerable cheaper than a lot of the 'big name' stuff and holds up very well. Plus REI is a co-op, so if you become a member, you get a dividend and an annual 20% discount on one item, or something like that. I don't remember the exact terms, but I remember I went in there about 6 or 7 years ago to buy a long trip pack and picked up the REI Mars pack. Went to the register and the gal asked me if I wanted to use my dividend and discount for the pack? Heck yah I do! That $220ish pack went home with me for a little over a hundred bucks and I'm still using it. I also picked up a 0° down bag from them at least 7 years ago for about $350 or so, that weighs in at 2 lbs. & compresses to the size of just a little bigger than a football.

Cabelas has a similar style one they sell under their own brand. Id hardly call it a great price, but theyre quite a bit cheaper than the beestinger brand. If you want a used one I'd check out ebay or the classifieds on archerytalk, they have a seller rating/feedback deal kinda like ebay. Ive seen some great deals on used archery stuff over there.

I use pretty lightweight Gloves with one of those hand muff deals that clips around your waist. I got the sitka gear one and its so dang warm it'll have your hands sweating when its 20 degrees out.

Amazing adventure and a dang nice bull! That's doing it right!

Happy birthday! Hope it was a great one for you.
