    22 ammo for sale

    I think they were in CanadA LoL
  5. Well more like 2 things I already knew, but needed to be reminded. 1. I may have grown up hunting from treestands, but I really don't like to sit still and quiet for a long time anymore. Especially in a hot blind with no coues cooperation. 2. Just like fishing, if you want to shoot doves don't take a kid dove hunting. Had a blast and shot a lot of cans and explored the desert, but no birds were harmed. Wouldn't have that one any other way though...he wants to go again.

    Monday Check in

    Nursing what seems to be an inflamed achilles, so have cut back the running but still walking a couple miles a day. It really screams at me on steep climbs like I did this weekend looking for coues. Diet okay if I can get a handle on portion control.

    SAW SOMETHING SPECIAL!

    I have pics of same one I believe...and saw her once during archery cow. There was a separate thread on here with pics and report of her being killed by a hunter. Very cool to see once I realized what I was looking at.

    Awaiting the trophy photos...

    Jumped a couple nice bucks on the way back to the truck, but no shot...had to work the afternoon to save a vacation day. Hopefully Steve (elkhunter1) is having better luck this afternoon than we had this morning.

    Honor isn't old school

    Some of you may have already seen this on Sportsman Channel. I went to school with Jason and went to this store regularly as a kid on the way to the woods or the lake with my dad. Strong words... http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/2014/08/rewind-honor-isnt-just-old-school/

    shooting under stress

    I've thought about trying this before...or I think I might run in between. I always seem to be sucking wind from a climb when a shot presents itself. Plus I hate lunges almost as much as I hate burpees.
  20. yes, I have......no interference.....that's what its made for....to work with a bino harness and pack. Agree. Almost always wear a pack with mine...works just as well as bino harness alone.
  21. Looking for short-term (a couple of weeks each) storage for 2 trailers on the way to or near Unit 9 or 12A...one is a 25' travel trailer and the other is a 32' fifth wheel. One will be a couple of weeks in Oct and the other a couple of weeks in Nov...between scouting trips and each hunt. Any suggestions on storage places that offer short-term storage like that or anyone here with some land who wants to make a little extra cash? Thanks!

    Short-term trailer storage near Unit 9 or 12A

    Thanks Edge. I should probably clarify that the closer to the units, the better. Somewhere in or around Flag or even Jacob Lake for 12a. Trying to save some diesel fuel costs and travel time.

    swackers

    They fly fine as long as you use the shrink tubing that comes with them. I've heard issues when folks try to use other rubber bands instead, but not the shrink tubing. I've never had one open in the quiver or on the bow like I used to have with Rage. I cut the foam out of my quiver so it's basically a hollow foam-lined cover with just the point in foam and works fine.

    Who is going to be where on the 22nd?

    I'll be "out there" and definitely not "here"...at least for half the day. Southern unit looking for coues.
