Viper

There's a good article in the latest Elk Hunter magazine that covers a lot of the principles mentioned above..."Shoot Better Right Now".

It is very very helpful to have a good spotter that can tell if it was hit and where the animal went. Stay locked on and guide the shooter to the spot.

Got mine Wednesday

I got my new Kuiu Kenai and Super down this morning. Can't wait to get home and check it out. I have some of the Russell APXG2 stuff and been using it for 4 or 5 years. It is good stuff for the money. The tight weave polyester holds up real well to catclaw.

You will invent new curse words....and phrases

Don't listen to them. There's no deer in 22...too many lions. You should hunt down south.

"What do you look for when purchasing your first pack?" More money...to buy more packs. Your first pack is just the beginning. You will soon have a few packs and still looking for that perfect one. :-) There is a Kuiu two pack set for sale in classifieds. That would be a good choice.

Got my order in for two jackets. Kenai jacket and super down hooded jacket. Packs are bag only I'm hoping I ordered the right size: 6' 170lbs 40" chest. I heard they are sized on the small side.

4x4 low range. If you have experience riding quads it is no problem. Just be sure the truck is level side to side. My ramps are 12' long, so it lessens the angle. Had a couple "pucker" moments when the ramps were wet and muddy tires. No accidents yet.

I have one similar to that. Mine was made by an expert welder I know. No bolt together joints...all welds...heavy duty. Very similar design. It ties down to the bed tie-downs with turnbuckles. I have had no problem with stability or breakage. I load two large 500 quads on it, which are 7' long and 700lbs dry. Has stow-away heavy duty ramps too. Not sure how the bolt together types hold up. I haven't used it in a couple of years, since I sold my tent trailer and should probably sell it. I would want around $800...give or take. Not sure what kind of deal you're getting on the bulldog.

I wanna go! For the first time...I bought a point this year.

You can find plenty of toads in Dec/Jan....Not sure about Nov.

What is the total height, with extension, and the weight?

I'm wondering if a regular size ranger would fit on the bed?

Great bear! Nice color!

What length is the bed?

Walk, horse, mountain bike, air-drop...

Find the does and areas with the most sign.

I wore them when I used to hunt 33...mainly for the shin-daggers. They were a comfort after seeing several snakes. Got struck on the boot once.

Been lots of coyotes in 5B-S for years

Yup...it helps to go out and shoot now and then throughout the year so setup is 2nd nature. I layoff in the heat of summer, then get out as much as I can when it starts cooling off. I have the same scope and really like it, 4.5 - 14 x 44. Takes out a lot of the guess work for hold over. Don't forget to make the parallax adjustment as well. They seem to be better calibrated to .30 caliber ballistics, but close enough on my .270, out to 400 yards. Be sure to practice off the shooting sticks and bipod, laying in the dirt and rocks.

I have a 1970's Wingmaster, 2 3/4" only. Would this barrel fit and allow me to shoot 3" shells?

Wow! Great job! I think I will apply for the youth hunt next year

I had a tough time finding a local used one five years ago. I found one on archerytalk.com from a guy back east. Still had to have it installed at Archery Headquarters. Good luck.

Davy Crockett did it. He reached way down deep, grabbed the bear's tail, pulled real hard...turning that bear inside out causing the bear to run the other way.
