Does the Vanguard attach using 1/4" in or 3/8"?

Got some Sneek EZ covers by Sneek Tech I am going to try. Like them so far.

Very cool story!

I wonder if he is thinking that if he lets you go by you will get his deer up ahead that is waiting by the road? I sure as he!! would not have let him shoot one in front of me after making me follow behind him for almost an hour. Double edge sword... A lot of guys are calm, patient, and forgiving. Not my strong suits when dealing with a$$holes.

Under Armour pisses off hunting community
rossislider replied to Curtis Reed's topic in The Campfire
Doubt they will cut ties with the Robertsons of Duck Commander/Duck Dynasty fame. Seems a bit hypocritical after they stuck by Phil over his comments about homosexuality a few years ago... -
Under Armour pisses off hunting community
rossislider replied to Curtis Reed's topic in The Campfire
The type of thing that happens when a non-hunting business decides tries to make money off of a demographic they don't belong to or understand. I didn't own anything Under Armour prior to this because they make a average to low quality product (equivalent to what you would buy at Walmart) and sell it at a premium price because of their logo. I don't think it works as well in the hunting community because anymore you have several high quality products/companies in the same price point from hunting companies. I certainly wouldn't buy any now! -
If and when do you lower your standards?
rossislider replied to no worries's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I think it depends on the hunt/unit/tag. How premium is the tag? I have always let my son decide on whether to shoot or pass, and I have always been proud of the choices he has made. He asks my opinion but he has always made he call. Either way it is always a valuable lesson. If they are really young, I would lean toward encouraging them to shoot the first legal animal, they will likely get lots more opportunity and there will be plenty of time to get selective as they get older. I hate for kids to eat tag soup. -
Just picked up the same model from Muley Crazy and got to take it out this past weekend. Love it and am VERY happy with it. Vortex haters will say it isn't as good as Swaro. Of course it isn't! But it is 1/3 the price and an awesome spotter for someone who can't or won't spend $5000 on one.

Awesome hunt. Congratulations!

My biggest annoyance from the weekend was trying to get to a glassing spot just as it was getting light, but being stuck behind a road hunter going 10 mph. No matter what I did, he was not going to pull over and let me pass. This went on for about 10 miles.

Good suggestions. Mine are a few years old and probably in similar shape. I'm going to buy my next bow (hopefully when I draw a bull tag next year ) from Timber Mesa where they do free string replacements every 2 years.

Just want to get the word out about a great company. I was getting ready tonight to head out tomorrow to help a buddy scout for an upcoming hunt. The picture below is not what you want to have happen to your Phone Skope when putting on your new adapter as you pack up to head out! Posted about it on Instagram well after businesses hours and in no time had the CEO of Phone Skope reaching out to me to help me out. He helped me figure out a temporary fix and went above and well beyond what he needed to do to make it right. Talk about customer service! If you are at all interested in digitscoping, I highly recommend checking them out.

I've looked high and low but can't find my over the counter 2016 lion tag. If it were a draw tag, I'd go to AZGFD for a reprint. But since it is OTC I'm not sure they do reprints, or if I just buy a new one? If I buy a new one could I run into issues since there is a limit of 1 lion per year and I'd technically have two tags in my name? I'm not specifically going lion hunting, but am headed to the hills and would hate for the one time I come across one to be the one time I didn't have the tag.

I picked up a duplicate at Bass Pro today. Thanks for all the input everyone.

What is smartwool, material, brand name, etc.?

rossislider replied to levers's topic in Classified Ads
If I had any say you would be banned from this site. First, for buying Adele tickets (at any price). Second, for admitting it. Third, trying to sell them on a hunting web site. -
Use your average. Do not use the manufacturer's numbers! Those numbers are averages from different rifles with many factors coming into play that are going to be very different from what you are shooting. They offers those numbers to give you an idea, but will never be true to every, or even most, rifles.

I apologize that I keep throwing out the Jay Scott podcast, but they have fantastic information. In an episode from last week with Kuiu founder Jason Hairston, Jay asked about this. When Jason does his long multiple day hunts he only takes two pairs and rotates them each day so the other pair has time to dry/air out. Seems logical to me if trying to minimize gear and weight.

Is AZGFD giving out our personal information?
rossislider replied to AZhuntingfamily's topic in The Campfire
i cant imagine that selling our info and tag prices are correlated in the slightest. I can't imagine why not. There are operating cost to any organization. A big chunk of that money for AZGFD comes through licenses, tags, application fees, etc., but it all goes to the bottom line. If they don't get the required money from one place, they will get it from another. Every dollar gained or spent in one place has a direct impact on another. The money from selling tag information may not be big money, but it all adds up. Now if you want to debate the main problem of many posters on this site relating to AZGFD, which is a blind hatred for anything AZGFD related, than that is a different discussion entirely. -
Is AZGFD giving out our personal information?
rossislider replied to AZhuntingfamily's topic in The Campfire
I guess I see this differently than some of you. Yes, absolutely AZGFD sells this information and yes outfitters, taxidermists, etc buy it. We may not like it, and It may not be how many of us would prefer these organizations do business, but I don't see it being unethical in any way as they disclose the fact that they sell the information and make no attempt to hide it. But bottom line for me personally is, if getting an extra couple of pieces of junk mail can help keep my app fee and tag prices down, I'm all for it. -

I've heard a few top guides on the Jay Scott podcast mention the sock layering system mentioned above about using a thin pair of dress socks. I've also heard that Fox River makes some really good socks,but I have not tried them yet. Check out the podcast episode 158 about footwear.
