Honestly Traeger is probably no better then some other competitors, but they make a good product and offer lots of useful info for free online. They are probably the Yeti of pellet grills, but do a good job giving back to the pellet grill users of all brands, and support people who support the outdoors. That is why I was willing to pay a little extra for the Traeger.

I have an old cross flow smoke I used to use alot. Then I had kids and had no time to sit all day tending the firebox to keep the temps right. The Traeger tends its own firebox and puts out awesome food.

That Turkey is honestly the best Turkey I have ever had. It was brined, then smoked.

Paradise valley Costco is doing it too.

I have the size 22 and LOVE it. We bought it at Christmas for ourselves and we literally use it 3-5 nights a week.

12aw would be my choice. I have limited experience in kaibab, but did get my first kaibab hunt and first deer last year in 12AE on the October hunt. I had good recommendations from a buddy that helped me get a nice deer. He wasn't a monster by kaibab standards but was a darn nice deer IMO and was DIY. I saw 2 bigger deer at the check station when I checked mine, but bother were guided. 12aw late and out of state i would seriously consider a guide. The next time i hunt kaibab on any hunt i will scout alot more. Also buy a left over elk tag just in case. It would suck to spot them and have to pass on that good meat.

If you plan to do it yourself, rent the 1600lb rated appliance dolly from a-z rentals with the ratcheting straps. 2-3 dudes, a truck, and that dolly will move an 800lb safe pretty easy assuming you dont have stairs or some crazy situation. Back in the day I moved 1000lb safes with 1 other guy. I also used to bench 400lbs so now I try and use more hands, better plans, and muscle when you need it.

Not enough... I did have a 40 something butch chick roadgrader driver try and pick me up at the Double D one year during deer season when I was about 17. I bet she could have taught me some lessons I am not sure I would have wanted to learn.

Make a left there. Right at the end of that road, past the Double D, then left to hit the back road out into Prescott national forest. I spent many of the formative years of my life in the hills behind Mayer hunting and camping.

The conoco still dumps, but doesn't have a potable water fill point anymore. Last year we went across the highway to black barts and filled water. It was like 1am so nobody bothered us for filling. They may have a fee normally though, I am not sure.

I picked up a box if 185gr 30 cal Classic Hunters today from Bruno's to play with in a 300 Weatherby mag. Axisworks is putting a brake on it and I should have it back soon. I have a couple elk hunts to get it ready for.

I have these on several rifles and like them alot. https://www.amazon.com/TOURBON-Hunting-Shooting-Cartridge-Buttstock/dp/B017K3Z48W/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=29PRU4NSX0LBK&keywords=tourbon+cheek+rest&qid=1557191542&s=gateway&sprefix=tourbon+&sr=8-3

My dad isn't able to hunt anymore due to his back, so I commandeered his Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby that sits in the safe. It is to abusive on recoil for fun shooting, so I dropped it off at Axisworks last week. In a few weeks it will be sporting a new muzzle brake, and when I get it back it's old Simmons 44 Mag scope is getting upgraded to a Burris Veracity 3x15x50 FFP scope. I already started brass prep, and hopefully Berger sends me the load data for the 185gr Classic hunters and 210gr HVLD on Monday that I emailed them about. This elk season this 300 weatherby may get the opportunity to put a second cow elk on its record. My dad used it about 20 years ago to take his one and only cow elk in unit 8.

My grandpa has a truck just like (same colors even) this with the 6.9l naturally aspirated diesel in it. I spent some time with him running all over Toledo in it cutting lawns.

Check you PM's. I almost bought 1 but ended up with what I sent you. I bought 1 of those packages about a month ago, and bought 1 more yesterday that is being shipped to me now. Crazy good deal IMO.

Axisworks has my 300 Weatherby right now, and is putting a 3 port horizontal brake on it. He did 2 others for me a couple years ago that turned out great.

My dad collected old military rifles, and mausers were cheap so I was introduced to 6.5x55 early. He ended up with a sporterized 6.5x55 mauser done by Kimber. It was light and handy and was his favorite deer rifle. That is when I stumbled upon the 6.5 cal bullets pre-6.5CM. I learned how overlooked 264 win mag was, and I always wanted to build a 6.5-06. So far no 6.5-06 or 264 win mags in my safe, but a couple 6.5x55 have followed me home. 6.5 seems to be a sweet spot IMO. it has heavy enough bullets to hunt anything in AZ, and has low recoil for most rounds.

Well, 6.5x55 is the best round ever...just kidding...maybe... What Hornady has done with the 6.5 CM and is working on with the 6.5 PRC is awesome. It highlights what was often an overlooked bullet size that never got it's due in the US til now. The success has improved bullet selection and availability quite a bit. Drive a high coefficient bullet at a good speed and good results will follow.

Does anyone have any advice on a good aftermarket stock for a long action weatherby vanguard? I stole my dads 300 weatherby that sits in the back of the safe and took it to Axisworks for a muzzle brake so it doesn't have to sit in the back of the safe anymore. The stock is a super basic stock they sent on the Walmart models. I want to upgrade without breaking the bank. Ideas?

$400+ is probably to much. The rifle barely cost $400. I was looking at stocky and the B&C for under $300 looks interesting.

I love Rotts. Our old one passed early last year. He was a great dog, and we rescued our current Rott last July. Both are awesome. I have never had better house dog than our Rotts. Your pair are great looking dogs, and good luck with the litter.

Much want, but no need. Bump
