If seller will take PayPal you could finance in credit card...just a thought with higher interest rate.

Weekend bump.

My 25+ year old eastern whitetail mount has been in my garage for 10 yrs. So far so good with a periodic dusting.

Nice price...very tempting.

I bet none of them have a problem with the all-white democratic nominee selection...

Awesome story...congrats. Reminds me I need to go back where I killed mine and look for the kill arrow too. Found the missed arrows. LoL

This would be priceless to hang out around the campfire with trphyhntr...can't imagine the stories and laughs.

Yeah I guess I can figure that out by just looking at the draw odds in the regs since no points...I'll still take any recommendation.

Sweet setup...lots of kills with that thing?

2 youth...zero points (well 1 Hunter Ed each) and just want to hunt. Can't hunt the youth hunt due to family commitments that week. Best chance for a bull hunt? Best chance for cow?

I'll take either tag and let you know how it goes...I hunted 27 the year of the Wallow fire. Early rifle can't affect the elk as much as that did...I'm sure anyone who hunted 9 (I think it was 9...rotates every year it seems) last year could comment on whether they thought it was affected by the rifle hunt....

Keeps popping up in online ads...anyone used one of these? Seems like a cool idea when I win the Powerball. http://www.bullseyecamera.com/

Similar to others...10s around my neck and 15s + tripod in the pack. I have a spotter, but have never carried it in the pack. Even for the range I prefer my 15s over the spotter, but I'm not shooting really long range either.

Your tag, your hunt...or in this case your brother's tag, his hunt. Great job helping him out and congrats on getting the job done on what sounds like a very tough hunt!

i had a 19a tag and seemed to see bigger bucks across the road in 19b. I didn't pay any access fees, but I heard about some bigger bucks coming off Perkins the year I had my tag. A friend hunted Perkins several years ago and was happy with the experience.

10/22 I bought in the past couple years and an heirloom single-shot .22 that's been in the family several generations. First big-game rifle was a Remington 700 camo synthetic (basically a BDL in mossy oak bottomland with painted barrel to match) .270 that I still use. Bought it from a local hardware store in TN almost 25 yrs ago. Only big-game rifle I've needed so far.

I have a short bed Ram and my weight-distributing hitch extends out just far enough for the tailgate to open. With a regular hitch it won't open all the way. Don't know what having the tailgate open will do to your turning ability if the jack might hit the tailgate. Just a thought.

Can't beat them if that's your budget. I upgraded mine to vipers, but still keep the Diamondbacks in my truck all the time and use them pretty regularly and keep them as a backup.

Good thread...like everything else, I think being in shape is another tool in your bag when it comes to the hunt. It helps and contributes to hunting success, but isn't a replacement for every other tool like scouting, time in the field, experience, knowing the game, knowing your gear, patience, luck, etc. Every hill I climb I always wish I wasn't carrying 20-30 extra pounds of ME up the hill...especially when those elk are already at the top of the next ridge and I'm sucking wind... I think a lot of the Zac and Cam haters think that they're trying to say you HAVE to workout like them to be a good hunter, which isn't the case at all. I follow both of them for a bit of motivation and because I find it interesting to see what they do getting ready for the mountains.

If Justin doesn't work out, I'm not going to either...maybe NOT working out will help me kill half the deer he does.

+1 on this...hope they're having a blast and +100 on trying to help them out just in case.

Bump for great price on great glass. Love mine.

Awesome wide buck...nothing wrong with a little luck and good timing. Congrats!

SOLD - I don't mind holding onto it. I'll PM you and looking forward to seeing just how ugly you are.

Found a full Ruger SR9 magazine on my whitetail hunt...tried to find the owner on a few forums, but nobody claimed it. Free to a good home and I'll even leave all the FMJ rounds in it for you. Not worth taking a pic to post...looks to be in great shape with normal wear from use. No rust or debris. I'm in Tucson, so prefer someone in the area but I'll be in Phoenix several weekends in Jan and Feb so could probably make something happen.
