What’s a good lightweight boot for hunting the Lords deer?

Nope. Just me and my 70 year old hunting partner. Who'd you hire for this year Frankie? -

As pointed out, the reports have been a little slow, so I decided to take a break from school work and type up a short report. Tried a new unit with my hunting partner, it was awesome. His old stomping grounds that he has killed some great deer from. We were not over run with giant bucks, but had a great time and I managed to fill my tag on a cool buck on Tuesday the 25th. We hiked into an area and were sitting there glassing. I got a little chilly so I stood up and put on my light jacket. When I did that, I had two does staring at me at about 150 yards. Went back to glassing. About 30 minutes later, I pull my eyes away from my binos and see two bucks at about the same spot. "Shooter buck!" I say to Jim, as I stuff an ear plug in my ear and grab the 28. The buck is only 138 yards away and sees me moving, but there is a bush in front of me where I cant use my bipod, so I hold the rifle freehand and let it rip. I see him turn after the shot and take a few steps so I let another rip. I only had two down in the gun so pull a 3rd from the saddle bag and drill him. It happened fast so I wasn't 100% sure of the shots, but saw a bush shaking for a few seconds after the last shot so I was confident he was down. While reviewing what happened, I saw a cactus that appeared to be red and glistening. Sure enough, covered in blood. When we got to the blood, it looked like someone poured a 5 gallon bucket. Somehow, this buck took the 180 Hybrid from my 28 through both shoulders with a massive hole in his chest and made it 30-40 yards before going down.

These are great pants very comfortable. I've worn them twice, they're just too big for me. Size 44x32, great condition. Id like $60

Bump. Bottom dollar, $1200

Looking to sell my trailer. Approximately 13x6, actually longer but I'm measuring to where it starts narrowing. Brand new 3500# axel, 250 miles on it since it was installed in Pinetop. Tires are great shape. Comes with two spares, but they will need replaced. One needs a plug the other needs replaced. Thing has been a work horse, I've taken it all over the state with my rzr. Asking $1500. Title in hand, located in west Tucson.

Ive asked a few guys from work to go. They all had excuses. One even said he "didn't want to catch bullets". I thought that was super lame.

If a 370" is something Greenhorn wants to kill, that bull better count his days.
-
For those that dont to another popular site might not know about Greenhorn. IF hes going to 23, (well, now in 23) the biggest bull in the unit is in big trouble. He kills monsters.
-
Dang, wish this had turrets. Id buy it just because. Same scope I have on my 28 Nosler. These are excellent scopes.
-
SOLD

Just got these in but have a bill due that I need to pay. Really good shape glass is clear eye cups function as they should, comes with covers for both objective and ocular lenses and a Swarovski bag. Asking $1100 in Tucson, can ship or get it to you somehow.

You would hope after 27 years he would be retired!
-
Dad's a 27 year Sheriff. Haven't seen mention of him being retired or not.
-
No theory, i just don't think the person in the photo is the same guy.
-
Dad turned him in because he confessed it to him. However, I'm not sure i believe hes the shooter.
-
Yeah ive really been surprised by the amount if low ball offers. Both from here and marketplace. (OK, not surprised with FB marketplace actually).
-
Bump, $1000 firm.

If i had to guess, others thought the same and couldn't handle that idea.

Bump

K so how is that ok but a SxS isn't? On the road, not off road. Those people are jackasses no matter what they're driving.
-
Ditto. My rzr is slightly smoother than my cummins and my yota.

Since when do you walk a road to get to your hunting area? Do you use a truck? How is that different?
