I’ll take it. Pm incoming

Camofire has paramounts today Ttt

Nice to have options with both tags! Back out again yesterday and this morning, more does and more elk. Some nice bulls and lots of bugling still, we saw a mix of solo or cow pairs and cows herded up with bulls still. Man I’m excited!! I’m pretty sure I was shaking worse than he was last year.

We saw the usual amount in 23. Rain storm came in though so not sure if the weather was a factor?

Good luck on the hunt! Favorite time of year!

+1 for leupold. For what it’s worth I went with Tract (already had the scope) I just went through this with my 11 year old. The biggest issue we had was getting eye relief and stock fit right and how lower priced scopes tend to “blackout” easier. I started with a diamondback and had to change because the eye box was not forgiving at all and he had a hard time using the scope. Ring height was the adjustment we made that really helped as well The warranty game has stepped way up also for most companies. If you chose them for your kids rifle, I doubt a manufacturer wouldn’t help make things right when the accident occurs.

That’s sounds a lot like our archery hunt!

Spent the morning listening to bugles everywhere. Got into some elk. Small groups of cows and lots of satellite bulls. Son was on cloud nine. No deer but ready to do it again next week

Bump for great glass and a sleeper company. Tract toric punches waaaaaay higher than the price. I side by sided some with razors and all parties favored the torics. I upgraded mine to ultravids but would happily hunt with these any day

Kowa 553 or maven 12-27x? Curious what you end up with edit:nvmnd, saw price cap.

Shoppers in chandler and AJ has a good supply of 6mm creedmoor if anyone picks this up

I was in this same spot last year. Grabbed a down north face jacket on eBay for $25. The youth sizes tend to be cheaper. Bass pro had some down on clearance as well. Good luck, sending a PM also

What unit is your tag in?

Congratulations and thanks for the great write up!

I forget the brand but shoppers in AJ had about a case worth

How’s the glass on this? Anything you can compare it to?

Thanks for taking the time to send that in and share here. Changing the October youth hunt is a great idea. Even swapping it with the turkey hunt the week before. We spend the week scouting hoping to tag out the first few days but if not, he just misses school 😂😂 I agree on mandatory reporting also. Insane we have unlimited OTC deer, especially in this day of social media sharing and YouTube people pushing it. It’s not a secret anymore

Trailtopia has been a pleasant surprise for me and they have some package deals

Second a check with randy at desert point. Got my dog from him and nothing but happy with her. I know he takes dogs back from people that weren’t sure what they were getting into and usually has a few around

Good memory. I’m in the same boat. Hoping he buys it before I make a bad decision

Someone was looking for a contender on here the other day, good looking rifle

May be worth a call to swift. Makes me wonder if one of the techs has a half a box on the bench somewhere they would part with. Good luck on your search.

Great pics and good luck to you!
