Yeah this is the kind of post that gets someone's a$$ kicked. Right up there with the fake "My card got hit" post.

Yep, we did that on my wife's antelope hunt. Won't make that mistake again.

PM coming.

I've got one for you. Do you need the code or hard copy?

Just got one in the mail today for $20 off $150 if you want it. Good through 6/19.

It is rare for Bass Pro's "Sale" to be better than just about anywhere else's regular price, especially great places like Healy's. You definitely won't get better service at Bass Pro's than you will get at Healy's. If you go into Bass Pro, be prepared to educate your sales clerk on the fire arm you are looking at.

We do first choice youth hunts and second choice general for the many reasons mentioned above.

They require their own proprietary plates that have a larger rubber top pad. I picked up a couple of extra so I can quickly go from binos to spotter to Triclawps. They fit all of my various optics and adaptors without issue.

Over the past several years I'v bought and tried at least a half dozen tripods and as many tripod heads. I'll usually buy something, use it on a few trips and then sell it when I come across something I like better. I run two tripod setups, one for me and one for my wife or son depending on who is with me. This has allowed me to try and compare a lot in the field. As the previous posters mentioned, the Manfrotto 700rc2 is great and had become my go to over the past couple of seasons. Last year I came across the Vanguard PH-113V and decided to give it a go. I highly recommend it as well. Both are excellent, but I give the slight edge to the Vanguard, primarily because of weight rating and stability. It is a relatively small head but will still support a heavier Triclawps/rifle setup. You can't go wrong with either (I have one of each of the two heads mentioned for my two tripods). They are both very reasonably priced and can be found for $100 or less. Also, you didn't ask, but I highly recommend Slik CF tripods. I've had and tried many of the more well known ones out there including Manfrotto, Outdoorsmans, Vanguard, Vortex, etc. I've tried very cheap ones and higher end ones (like Outdoorsmans). I personally don't think you can beat a Slik CF, especially when you consider price point (in the $200-$300 price range). I prefer them to my old $600 Outdoorsmans tall tripod with extension post setup, which I sold to buy a second Slik. Don't get me wrong, the Outdoorsmans tripod is great and comes from and even better company, I just found something that works better for me.

Mine weighs about 750 lbs and I was able to move it with the use of a basic four wheel flat furniture dolly and a couple of buddies. The heavy part is really getting it in and out of the truck. Of course everything becomes a lot more difficult if you have to go up stairs. How much does yours weigh? I work in the Tempe/Phoenix area (by ASU) and live pretty close to you in the easy valley. I'd be happy to come lend a hand after work one evening.

On the plus side, he will have no problem rallying the pro hunting crowd against him. Chaffetz did a good job of showing how much political pressure our group can put on someone when they feel threatened.

No idea if he is a CWT member, but three of my neighbors have used this guy for concrete work (side yards, walk ways, etc). His work looks good and his prices have been substantially cheaper than anyone else I am aware of. I plan to use him for my sideward this year. I live on the San Tan Valley / Queen Creek border.

Definitely try to come up with some sort of shed. Even covered, the elements are hard on ATVs stored outdoors.

I do so! pee.jpg and...

I do so!

Sail boat racing...on TV... I think I need to get you out doing some scouting with me.

Sold

Price drop to $375

Dang, my son just bought himself one. Good deal.

Good video about the inserts.

How about Lathrop and Sons boots? I've been seeing them pop up a lot lately. Anyone tried them? I believe they have a custom fitting kit they send you (for a fee which is credited towards your boot putchase), you do all the measurements, send it back, and they make them custom for your feet. I would love to hear from someone who had tried them. https://lathropandsons.com

That is super nice of you, but don't worry about it for now. If I hear from Amanda I'll let you guys know.

Not the bull from above (post #27), but another he just finished.

Will is a great guy and does great work. He did all of these for me. I highly recommend him.
