Great pack.

I have never shared this kind of thing on the interweb. This morning my wife went to take my mother to her chemo appt but received no answer at the door or phone. I rushed over and called 911. The ambulance met us there and found my Mother breathing but unresponsive. They took her to the emergency room for observation and treatment. She is currently in the icu being treated for sepsis and who knows what else. She is old and has cancer, but it is not her time. At least we don't think it is. If any of you are prone to pray, please keep her in your heart.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Last night she slipped her earthly bonds peacefully with all of us by her side. Her fight is over and she won, to return to her Father with honor and glory. We love you Mom.

Good point Shed. In my own little myopic viewpoint I didn't think he could be asking about home install. Us down here in civilization don;t think about those things....lol I also use my 4gm for our cabin and also my trailer. Works anywhere. If I were at either regularly I would get a permanent solution like the kind Shed installs.

Yes, they absolutely work. To a degree. The caveat is you have to have at least a little signal in order for the booster to work. I have the weboost drive 4g-m. I use it all over and RARELY lose signal. I have also tried the 4g-x which is supposed to be twice as powerful but did not notice a significant increase. I was not in a hugely remote area though. The 4g-m has been awesome. As an example, at our elk camp with Verizon I get 1bar of 3g. With the booster I get full bars of 4g. I do think the bigger outside antennas are worth the upgrade. The closers your phone is to the inside antenna the better your signal. Bottom line....WELL worth the money. Wish I had done it years ago.

Probably a stupid question, but is it too late to donate my wife's early archery cow tag now that the hunt is half over? Because of the situation with my Mother we will not be going out.

The negative camber CAN be indicative of worn bearings or joints, but can also be due to suspension, tires , etc... Hard to know without looking at it directly. The suspension can be adjusted to compensate. I have never worked on a ranger, but the rods/joints are usually very easy to replace and not expensive. I you are getting a good deal I wouldn't worry about it,. The "issue" is very common. Rossi- That rumor has been around a LOONG time. THey lallygagged banned it in Cali( but heck, they have banned everything but kale salad) nad people have been worried it will eventually carry over to here. May still happen, but nothing hard on it YET. That I know of.

Sucks when you play by the rules only to get screwed. Sounds like there are two camps here.. One that gets mad that they try to close a road, disregard the rules and drive down any road they find and the other that gets mad at camp 1 for doing it while following the rules. Sad but seems pretty clear that if they want to actually close roads, cables and chains are the only solution.. At least the people driving around a chain can't play stupid. And no doubt, some will do it anyway. They are not only going around chains they are driving OVER the barricades in their jacked up machnes. It is disgusting. and don't get em started about camping near water holes....

Just bought some a couple weeks ago. They're nice. A little loud but similar to most weatherproof pants. One complaint is the belt loops are insufficient.

I told Tom my trailer and rhino are there available for use as well. I hope someone can use the tag. Thank you for the well wishes Edge.

That was crazy how that second shot just buckled him. Well done!

I just spoke with Tom. He is coming by today to pick it up. Not worried about points, was just frustrated that it might go to waste. It still might but at least we are trying. Thanks guys.

Thank you to all. We spent the day with her in the hospital after being told her liver and kidneys had shut down. She is currently stable, but we have been told she is not coming home from this. We don't know if it is hours or days, but it is in fact her time. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Like rossi I have no experience with champion but have the Honda. Ithe sits and sits and rarely gets used but starts every time and is quiet.

Unless it bounced off rib/spine that should be a dead bull. Good luck. Always hate hearing about lost bulls.

This is a big fear of mine. I do leave my trailer out as I have to come home for a few days during the hunt. Heart is pounding as I pull in to camp every time.

Out of curiosity did they break in or did he leave it unlocked?

Depends on WHERE "up North". If you are on the Rim or anywhere near the areas of heavy human use, you will have a very hard time calling them in. you will SEE them and HEAR them everywhere, but they are some of the most educated and difficult to call coyotes around. If you have garbage can in distress sound on your ecaller go with that.....

I was actually trying to be funny as there really isn't anything he can do about it and should look at it in a positive way. I guess my kids are right...I'm not very funny.

I would have been upset too. But as others have said there is nothing he can do so go out and enjoy another hunt. I guess I should have said I think the other dude is a douche and am ABSOLUTELY not defending the action.

Really? Smh Why?

Too many variables to have an opinion on that exact scenario. However, if I came in on another hunter I wouldn't have encroached unless I was "passing through". Not only to be courteous but also due to the fact that I have no desire to hunt an area already being hunted(unless I knew the area well and KNEW there was enough room for more than one and KNEW where the other guy was. Last year on an elk hunt I had only walked 50 feet from my truck when another dude pulled right up next to us and got out with his son. I was a little irritated at first but headed towards them to talk to them. Turns out they had been hitting that same area for the last week chasing a bull they had been scouting for months. They also were headed north and I was headed south so no big deal. We traded game plans as to not step on each other and went hunting. We were both happy and made a new friend. It's a big forest.

I think your buddy is the luckiest SOB on the planet as you got to shoot an elk and morally get to hunt more and shoot another one. Dude needs to put away his butthurt and realize what he has been given. TWO friggin elk hunts for the price of one!

A decent 6x6 walked across the road right in front of me today. Just sorta sauntered across. Gave me a good stare down and I swear I saw him stick his tongue out at me. They know. Jokes on him though, my wife has a COW tag!

This wind SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fortunately my wife forgot shoes so we won' t have to hunt in the wind in the morning. It's the little things that make me thankful......lol
