I went through what you are going through a couple years back. I was wanting to trade my paid off 3/4 ton for a better fuel mileage truck. I went down to a half ton ford with a payment. I regret selling that truck everyday unless I am at the pump. So 99% of the time I regret selling it. I do...
I don’t blame you there. Sadly I don’t see that happening anytime. When I have talked with biologists/wardens they just say that won’t happen. I won’t disagree with the little deer. Deer is one that I will agree that there can be more tags allocated in areas where they should not be. Our deer...
I know this is a repeated thread but I like to think some guys enjoy talking truck stuff no matter how many times it comes up. I have an f150 that I need to get some tires for. I am looking for some other opinions/experiences for a tire that is 70% highway/interstate/town, 30% forest service...
I use one. I absolutely love it. I practice with multiple different lengths for antelope when I can get the benefits like a target shooter. For elk and deer I have marks with a paint marker so I can always get a repeatable length. I have the quick disconnect adapter and bino thing for use as a...
I think you’re right on the thickness. My heavyweight makes me sweat and I find it super heavy for most of my uses unless it’s close to zero. I am a hot temperature person though. Makes comparing tough. I am like you, for the helio, I can wear it almost all September as my outer layer over my...
Thanks! I would compare it to the Patagonia over the heavy weight Sitka (I have both). The helio is similar grid fleece. I appreciate the input. Next time I am in Bozeman I am going to see how the vest works or the armed version. I used to love vests, just not sure about them anymore.
Great review! I am anxious to read your cirque lite review a little more. I run a Sitka merino or synthetic, depending on conditions, and helio hoody over the top. I consider the helio more a mid-weight and then the cirque would go over that for more insulation. I have been toying running the...
I have 2 F-150s (work and personal) My work is the 5.0 and mine is a 3.5. As for mileage, mine does get better fuel mileage by 1/2 mpg but my work track has beefy KO2 tires on it. I am about to get new tires so we will know for sure what the comparison is. I am guessing my mileage will drop to...
If I could swing that and was chasing the sheep slam, I would do Stone now. Things are not looking good for the near future on stones with the people I have talked too. If I wasn’t chasing that, I would go for a desert big horn and something else thrown in the mix. You could go on a couple great...
I carry a 40 with one mag. If I am in griz country I also pack bear spray on my chest. I tell myself it’s enough but who knows. If one clip isn’t enough, not sure another clip would help as you may not be in the condition to use it.
Thanks Eddie. I appreciate the reply back. I believe we are thinking the same thing. I have run passenger tires on my work truck (work makes you run through them before you get to replace them) and they did really good until they were past the life of the tire and that is when I got flats. Three...
I agree with wapitibob. Those type 6 tags are really low odds. One of the ones I like to hunt is almost the same odds as a bull (below 5%). The leftovers are typically in difficult to access areas due to private. Feel free to pm me with areas you’re looking at.
