GRANDE BEAR Report post Posted August 10, 2005 I'll be taking out my Ragen Toy-Hauler and my new quad, Honda Rancher 350ES. This will all be behind my New Dodge Ram 2500 HD. Since I drew 4 tags and my son 1, they'll be getting plenty of use this fall. Can't wait!!!!! Albert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hime Report post Posted August 10, 2005 I will be using a new Savage .270 with a Burris Fullfield II 3 x 9 on top. I hope I can talk the wife into a new pack before November. Dodger2, Have you had a chance to test out the Badlands pack? I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback since that is the one that is on the top of my list right now. Thanks, JDH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More D Report post Posted August 10, 2005 Sad to say that no new hunting gear to report, but I too am a gear junkie. So I don't need anything but wants are a whole different ball game. We did get a new Armada with the hopes of buying a travel trailer later but I still have to sell that Buick I STILL have for sale. But worse case we will have to sleep in the tent for deer and rent a room in happy jack lodge for elk. Darn We all are truly blessed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 what about virgil? you forgot to mention him! and it only counts when i get to hunt with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger2 Report post Posted August 10, 2005 hime, I'll be taking the badlands pack with me on my antelope hunt on Sept. 8-12. I will probably have it out in the next couple of weeks scouting for coues as well. I know that it is extremely comfortable and has a pocket for your tripod and one for your spotting scope if you have one. I need to get some more gear to fill the rest of the pockets !. I'll let you know what I think. Plus it comes with a life time guarantee! Dodger/Matt Darren, Is that a new 300 win mag or did you get your ruger customized as well? Which one will you be hunting coues with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted August 10, 2005 I guess you're right, Casey. I forgot to mention the new pup! If all goes well, I think the Mearns quail are going to be in big trouble this season if Virgil has anything to do with it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
