First things first. I would like to give first option on the to someone's kid starting a job a needing a good set of boots or someone who is maybe on tight times. I have 2 pairs, both used size 13d I believe. FREE 1. Redwing Pecos 8" pull ons. NOT steel toe. Flat sole for walking on concrete. They need new soles but with a little TLC, cleaning and $75 in soles would be a great set of boots. 2. Redwing 11" pull on boots. STEEL TOE. I believe these are the waterproof models. They are heeled sole boots. They have some of the toe armor bedliner stuff on the toes to resist wear. They need cleaned and oiled but would be a great set of boots. I don't do construction or manufacturing anymore so I don't think I really need to keep them around anymore. Harley

I am in Peoria.

Not i. No cc hit yet.

dang it. I am looking for the Winchester Ranger 127gr +p+.

Those are nice for sure, but way out of my league price wise. He does some dang fine work though.

I only have 1 consistent hunting buddy, but we have been friends since we met in high school. We mix in some friends from work occasionally but they are not as consistent at wanting to do everything. We know each others expectations and work with it. We don't always agree on hunting strategy or tactics but we always listen to each other and respect what the other is saying. Good hunting buddies are hard to find. I have 2 little hunting buddies that are being groomed for some years down the road though so I will have another one on the ticket in about 6 years, and another one a few years after that.

I have issues with this too. I have flat feet that cause my main issue. I use the arch supports from my redwing boot dealer. They are are the most expensive ones just below the custom mold style. I think they are about $35. If I don't use them in my shoes and boots I won't be able to walk much the next day. Harley

I already have a deal in place for a summit. This a great buy though. You know what, I will take this one too if it is still available and give it to my hunting buddy. His birthday is before our hunt this year.

Cabelas has a few boxes and pounds in stock. I picked up a box of the ELD-X and I have H1000 so I have another load to work on for my elk hunt. Harley

I am in the market for a new day pack. My current camelback is to small especially during elk season with 3 layers on. I am 6'4" and 300+ depending on the day. I have a big build so I need a recommendation on something comfortable for me. I just looked at a nice 100oz camelback day pack but for $150 I figure there might be better options. Is there a good place to go look at packs locally? I am probably going to get a seperate pack frame for trying to carry quartered elk and such, but I want a little larger and better fitting g day pack. Thanks Harley

I tried on an outdoorsman pack yesterday and it was nice but I don't think it is quite what I am looking for. I stopped at cabelas today and tried on a few badlands including the clutch, 2200, and super day pack. I also tried on and ebelestock and it was too short for my torso. The 2200 and clutch were very nice and I think the recommendations in here are spot on. It fit my long torso and the belt sat at my natural waistline. Now I have to figure out what I want to do for sure and do it. Thanks for the advice.

I am going to work a load with the 168gr HVLD, and a load with these in my 7mm Rem mag. We will see what they do. My cow elk went down from 115gr HVLD in my 257 weatherby so I hope both the above loads would be sufficient this year. If I don't get a good load before season or I don't feel totally good about the 7mm I have the weatherby waiting in the wings. Harley

I would still rather go to TT than Lone Wolf.

I actually like the $25 fee for a failed check. It would keep alot of the rif Raf from trying to buy guns. I used to work at the arizona sportsman way back and it would have saved alot of time and labor dollars for customers who can buy things. As far as TT goes I am neutral. I have been in a couple time with ok results. I was just kicking tires though.

Very nice work as usual Lance. I will be watching this for sure. I have always wanted to build a 6.5x06 so this is very near what I am looking for.

That is a sexy knife. I am tempted but I am going to hold out, do some more research and pick out exactly what I think I want. I like that akouna though. That is a sweet profile.

Good info guys. Keep it coming. Thank you.

I am probably going to get a seperate pack frame, and just increase the size of my day pack for now. What I was kind of looking at that would be a bid upgrade over what I have is something like this. https://www.rei.com/product/867296/camelbak-fourteener-24-hydration-pack-100-fl-oz

Probably about $200 on the top end.

I sell air conditioning units. It has been a busy last couple weeks and I don't think this week will be any different.

7 general rifle.

Nelson ford. End of story for s&w.

My buddy caught a 72lb flathead from shore. I know they often use a kayak to put bait out from shore but I don't think he was then. He uses mostly carp or blue gill as bait.

The website says he is backlogged about 3 years to get a knife. I have about 5 months til I leave for my elk hunt. With a backlog like that I am sure they are pretty sweet though.

I'm 6'4" and 300lbs. I don't have monster hands but I have hands of someone my size. Xl-XXL gloves normally. I think I am going to get a havalon also, but want something more jack of all trades to put in my pack. I had a couple decent ones awhile back but some a-hole broke into my truck and took a bunch of stuff including my nicer medium knife. It was a buck zipper with gut hook that I saved money for for a long time when I was about 15 and getting ready for my first elk hunt. I have never owned anything better than Buck brand knives, and I want to change that.I am trying to obtain better gear all around and now it is time for a knife.
