On a serious note, I planned on closer to home, less hero-esk hunts this year to save costs. Will spend some time floating the Yellowstone, archery hunting locally, just not going to spend a ton of time scouting. May borrow the wife’s RAV4 and put a kiddie pool in the back for blood haha
I found them on eBay, I just looked them up and they are $100 now, unreal! 6 months and 100% inflation, dang! Well they aren’t as cheap as I thought any more!
I picked up my boy a pair of these Bushnell 8x32 last fall, for $50 I’m pretty impressed honestly. They are clear and bright, I’ve used them a couple times when I didn’t have mine and his were laying in the back seat, worked just fine.

On another note I have 4lbs of RL26 that I’d like to trade for some benchmark. I bought it to try out in my WSM, but decided my w760 works just...

Jeff is one of the best guys you will run into. Funny, good operation. House you stay in is warm, wood stove, his wife cooks more food than you can eat. Never heard a bad word about him.
Having grown up in Montana and lived in Alaska for almost a decade, there really is no comparison. It’s the best there is available. There are some things that are a pain, but overall it’s amazing. I’ve lived in Fairbanks, Palmer, Kenai peninsula, a few of my opinions.
Soldotna is perfect if...
I spoke to my local gun shop that has had a few powder/primer shipments monthly. He said the powder manufacturer told them last month that they would be changing to a quarterly shipment, and that’s all they could do. So I think it’s going to get worse for components I’m afraid.
