Western Hunt Expo

[twall13]

Would someone mind asking some questions about when this will be available? Last summer I inquired through email and was told supply issues had caused delay and that they expected them to be ready by October. Obviously that has passed. Would love to try one of these out.

When I talked to them yesterday they were hoping it would be ready to sell in limited quantities next month. It's a pretty neat design with detents in the ball to isolate vertical and horizontal motion like a pan head for glassing but then opens up like a ball head for shooting.

Grabbed a really cool pair of Toyota sunglasses . Oh and my wife booked me an antelope hunt in Wyoming for Valentines Day. So I would say I had a good time. Saw some pretty cool stuff. Enjoyed talking to the guys at Lucky Duck about their dog kennels. Really nice product

Thanks, I remember those details being talked about after the expo last year. Glad to hear that they didn’t have to redesign it due to the supply struggles.

Pro tip….

Come through the north entrance if you don’t want to be stuck in a crowded line. We walked right by the massive line by the validation area at 10am and were in by 10:05.

Downside no fresh made roasted nut stands as you walk in @robby denning

They had several available to buy yesterday and have the parts on hand for a few dozen more. They just need assembled. They told me yesterday that their facility moved screwed up every facet of their business from production to timely customer service inquires, except fast shipping.

If I had an open tripod, I'd have bought one yesterday.


My haul for the show was two bird brain pokers and the new Stone Glacier gaiter.

Depending what I do/don’t draw for big game this year I do have intentions on a specific grouse hunting trip. I’ve never bird hunted before but is that something a knife or simply wrong of the neck couldn’t accomplish? Asking out of pure ignorance.

I'm sure a knife would work, but I imagine would be inherently more dangerous and awkward. With a knife I think/guess you'd be cutting the spinal cord more so that scrambling the brain stem.

You can pop / twirl necks. This past year was the first time I bird hunted in many many years. Every rooster the dog brought me still alive I didn't get snapped the first try, sometimes a few, so this caught my eye. I had seen this once or twice in meta ads before, but didn't think much of it. No clue they were at the show, but it was an easy buy. @KickinNDishin also said she would much rather do the brain poke than try and snap necks.

I am taking the dingo in the picture put tomorrow, so I'll see if it works as intended.

Finally got hands on the Rok Stok. I want one..

I also want that new Aziak Ridgeline Tripod.

Was able to pick up the Rok Stock for Tikka on Thursday. Could not resist the impulse buy. Then off to Scheels for a Dead Air Ti XC. Turned out to be an expensive day.
