Not sure what you mean by that^^.
It wouldn't change the supply and demand equation. It would just change who has a chance at a glory tag. With the current system someone who just started applying would have a 0% chance at drawing a top unit. In a cap based system after 15 years of applying...
It would function the same as those who currently have max points. If there are more applications than tags those with the max points (cap) would be entered into a random draw.
I think it would be a good stepping stone to full random (where we'll likely end up). At some point if applicants...
If I were king of the west I would allow point averaging, institute a point ceiling (a maximum of 10-15 points), and make all tags require application (no OTC tags). That way you are incentivized to apply/use your points, get in a lottery for the OIL tags, and/or wait for the leftover list to...
I have both. A 12 and 20 870 that I switched the safety around on and a lefty versa max. I went with the lefty autoloader after shooting a friends 11-87 and getting the occasional powder to the face. Either the gas driven autoloader was the reason or I'm so slow on a pump that the I let the...
This ^^
For us it comes down to points and the value we assign them. for 0-5 points we will typically both get tags and follow our convoluted/logic defying method of deciding who's "special day" it is. sometimes it changes with opportunity, history, or numerous other factors. But we make a...
Oh yeah. 170+ bucks everywhere. Basically just point your rifle at the sage and they jump in front of your bullet.
Would be a lot of work but nice if the mods went thru and deleted any thread with a unit number. You should probably try sending a PM directly next time. Though, if you did that...
Have you tried the killer new tag wallet from kifrau? It’s the only piece of kit I’ll run for something as important as my harvest tags. Only things more important might be my flatbill or phone for the #gram.
Seriously, ziplock bag in a place that is always on you (Bino harness for me). I’ve...
Sounds like a forward detection sensor/wiring issue (radar/camera) based on the "pre-collision" warning. Probably something that is used by TM as well. Faults are very descriptive these days and most OEs have troubleshooting/resolution trees for each fault. i.e. check this wire, that connector...
Are there frame/fabric limits on how far you can cut down the stays?
i.e. can I have a set of 26.5 and a set at 23.5 or 24 and still use the same fabric/frame system?
I don’t but you could. I’ve found that if I get it too tight to the tree it wants to fold if it gets unweighted. I like it as an alternate foot placement for sitting positions.
No its a step that goes on top of the platform post. If that doesn't make sense I can grab a picture when I get home.

I’ve had a predator for three years now. I’ve replaced the bracket and added a double step on top from EWO. It’s about perfect for me feature-wise. There is some slop between the post and platform that I don’t love, but doesn’t seem to hurt functionality.
Of the platforms you mentioned I’d...
Thanks for the info. It’s really helpful. Do you miss the length of the beast stand or notice that you get hung up on less stuff with the LWCG? I’m also wondering about the minimum diameter tree you can use the LWCG on. I’ve been in some bean poles in marshes (not very high) with my saddle...
I’m having a tough time deciding and haven’t found much in the way of useful comparisons. Mostly just drama over the respective owners.
Don’t know either and don’t care about their drama. I want the best product. I wish I could get my hands on both but direct to consumer isn’t ideal for this...
Thanks for all the replies guys. Really appreciate them. The quotes below really hit home with me.
My havalon might not have much "soul" but I think it will have value from it being "mine" and something they saw used over the years. I've been documenting my hunts out west (most can be found on...
What do you have from your dad and what to you plan to give your kids?
With my second kid on the way, this is something I’ve been thinking about. I’m not from a family of hunters so I haven’t inherited anything but think it would be really cool to pass something down to my sons someday...
Exactly this.
If it will regularly be used as an outer/only layer gotta have a hood. If it will only be used as a baselayer under an outer layer no hood.
Trip and Gear Report
Trip Thoughts: Looking back I still had an awesome time, but the altitude sickness, possible flu resurgence, or both really put a damper on me in the moment. I’m already thinking about a redo and things I would change. Staying a night between 5k and 8k is something I would...
