dang. That’s terrible to hear. That’s a terrible disease that I don’t know if anyone really ever recovers from. Sorry I’m no help on the rhino.

Sorry to take this on a tangent, but what is the best one out there you’d recommend in the higher price range?

I’m so sad I missed this.

True story. I’ve got a 95 and almost never use it. Honestly should sell it as the 65 stays on all the time anyhow.

I’m still waiting on my to show up 🤷🏼

Exactly. I can assure you the Scheels will be tailored toward western hunting and fishing.

The thing I really like about Scheels is they build the store to the local needs. Sportsmans has a floor plan that is the same all across the country. They’ve got two full rows of fly fishing and fly tying shoot here in Williston ND and the nearest trout stream is 500 miles away. I bet you could count on one hand how many fly fishermen are in this town. Then you try to buy some regular old terminal tackle for walleye like bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses, lindy rigs etc and they have about 2’ of one aisle for that. Scheels has about 5-6 aisles of that as thats what people need and buy up here.

Wow!! He’s more then cool!

They have great prices. They sell ammo and guns as lost leaders in order to get you in the store so your wife buys yoga pants or you buy a Sitka jacket. When I worked there we got everything at cost +5% and a lot of times I had to have my brother buy ammo for me as he got it cheaper as a non employee then I did with my employee discount. We had atleast 2-3 hours a week even as part timers in producing knowledge training. Theyd can your butt in a heartbeat if you didn’t greet a customer or paid them no attention like I see so often at bass pro and Sportsmans. The salesmen are on commission so they can bug you sometimes more then you’d like but I guess that’s better then never getting any help. The store is still family/employee owned out of Fargo ND. The owner Steve Scheel was on the floor with us nearly every day. Great company. I learned a lot about employee management from my time there.

It was killed in velvet and wasn’t fully grown and they stripped the velvet. That’s gotta be an eastern not?

Dang. This is a great deal. These things are awesome. I’d be all over it if you could bring it to ND!! 😂

That’s Tempe town lake.... lake trout capital of AZ

Sweet! Thanks! If I can’t get it dialed in I’ll just buy this one and run two wide!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you upgrade to? My only complaint with my charge master is it’s kinda slow (I timed mine and it’s right at 50 seconds with log powder on an 86 grain charge. Seems to take most of its time with the trickling). I’ve been debating upgrading but also though about just getting a second one so they could run side by side and speed things up a bit.

There’s some good bulls in the bighorns from what I’ve heard! Good luck. Having someone with know how is worth the points! I worked in Detroit lakes my first year out of school, couldn’t wait to get out of there!! You think ND is cold and gray in the winter, try spending a winter in MN!!!

Wow! That’s a big laker for a small piece of water! Where was this?

Where you going? I’m one behind max. Missed one back in college one year and I’ve been regretting it ever since!

I don’t think people have ever sat down to do the math on some of the stuff they put in for. My current draw strategy is trying to work out and work on my mobility and range of motion. No joke. I’ve come to the conclusion that to draw a lot of the tags I started putting in for 10-15 years ago that I figured I’d draw in 20 years are all going to be 30-40 years out. Not because the supply will finally catch up with the demand, but simply because I will have to outlive all of the people in tiers around and above me and still be physically able to go on the hunt. It seems crazy but there will be people that die with 50-60 points for a lot of tags and never see them, myself included (god willing).

I’ve got a bergara premier mountain 2.0 in 6.5 Creedmoor I won in a raffle (the only way I’d ever own a creedmoor!) I’d sell you. I don’t think there’s a gayer caliber out there for true long range hunting like all the bros make it out to be, but I gotta admit it would be a great lightweight deer caliber, or kids elk and deer rifle.

So sorry to hear this. There really are no words for something like this. Stay strong and keep praying.

6.5’s aren’t even legal bro.

Awesome! Always wanted to do that! Killed a few with a muzzle loading rifle but never a shotty! I’ve heard you can make loads that will outdo a regular shotgun.

One is a hunt where you get to take possession of the animal. The other is just killing an animal and walking away. Big difference atleast for me.

What kind of stock is that?

They did something similar up here in ND with the elk on Theodore Roosevelt national park. Except you couldn’t approach them and couldn’t collect any part of them. Just shoot them and walk away. They hired packers with helos and horses to pack them out and donated the meat. I wouldn’t want any part of that. If I got to keep a bison for meat I think I’d be down for something like this. That’s a cool way of doing it. Hope they get someone who is qualified and doesn’t ruin the name for everyone else. 3/5 in 4” at 100 in hardly a “qualified” shooter!
