  1. Been involved deeply with 2 PE groups. Neither was a bad experience. But seriously, fuck those guys that ruined WB.
  2. Outdated? She announced moving to Ireland a couple weeks ago or less.
  3. And for good reason. That 20 mile stretch is one of my favorite places on earth.
  4. I lived by this but 3 years for my entire adult life. I've been running 4 now with Endurances. I was lucky enough to run quite a bit of tread off the RV tires in last 4 years. Wish i could say the same for the boat Both are on replacement schedule this year.
  5. Double J Saddlery. Not cheap, but will last you a few decades.
  6. Anderson Bean for more affordable, Black Jack for more quality but still affordable. Guess it all depends on what you want to spend but neither break the bank. The BJ's should last you a long long time.
  7. That sucks. I had several friends have hats built there ~20 years ago. These were guys who've been wearing hats since they could walk and they all seemed pretty happy with them. They were also all ags tho...so who knows.
  8. Even the 2000's dont belong in the same sentence as Tecovas imo. Price or quality. It's been a long time, but iirc the few pairs of 2000's I had about in 2008-2010 frame were still ~$450. The ostrich and caiman ones were anyhow.
  9. Gemlux
  10. Outside of maybe 2-3 hunts where I was playing with a new to me Custom Sako .243, I shoot my 257 wby. Probably 95% of the pigs and deer I've taken in the last decade have been with that wby. But I don't disagree, very close round. I just liked the rifle. And the prize i really was chasing was the .243, but not for that money. I have several .243's and no 25-06, so not the worst thing in the world. Funny I've owned a 6.5-06 for almost a decade as well, but not its easier to get shells for cousin.
  11. While running thru my usual "keeping an eye out for list" the other day, I saw one one of the tacticool Mad Pig rifles for $10,500. I took a break from my P-gun quest and bought a really nice 25-06 a few weeks ago, but don't have login to surly on my phone anymore. Really nice stock, really, really nice checkering. Has a couple spots on the bluing that will need to be addressed. Missed on a .243 with one of most beautiful maple stocks I've ever seen. I was hoping no one had really seen it (only 2-3 guys going back and forth and still well under priced) then it jumped about $2500 on the last few hours and ended mid 3's. Fucking craziness.
  12. Hard not to be frustrated but I'm sure he'll figure it out soon (if not already) - that pic is what it's all about. fwiw, been a VERY rough year for ducks.
  13. Best I've ever seen it work is when you have an area that the bucks don't really care for but the does still come in to eat (near well traveled roads, near camp, etc) I understand you can't really enforce that (nature finds a way), but it seems like more often than not, most of the ranches I've hunted have a "meat stand" or "guest stand" that is tends to have many more does than bucks showing up (typically not prime locations on property). I always try to sneak over to the guest stands a few times for does or culls if I'm really hunting a certain buck that hasn't shown up to my stand yet. As noted above, I really enjoy walking random senderos for does.
  14. I like that too, but difficult to be blasting early in the season when you've got big boys on the cameras all October, but have yet to show. I like shooting does on little walkabouts, away from the main feeders/stands most.
