I've had Costco poles for 2 years now. I'm money ahead. I did really like the Black Diamond Corks. I just walked off the tips and didn't repair in time and the price difference between Costco is more than decent to offset that.
I've been fortunate to receive food poisoning from.................. Wendys, Arbys and Booger King.
I've returned, but let us not believe these places are Nirvana.
Now about inflation. I was ALMOST a Eastern Tenderfoot once and moved to Iowa for a couple years. I clearly remember the !/2...
I bet I see one. I’m sure my hunting elks will be affected by it. I’m sure I got this shoved up my arse by a ton of people who voted that most likely don’t even live here anymore.
Sometimes it feels like folks up North think this is funny because they got it shoved up their arses 30 years ago...
I didn’t even have to arm wrestle Cam or debate with Rinellas! 😉
Of note, I really did get 4 separate harvest survey request from AZ Fish and Game, text, email, snail mail. Even the warden called me after trying to put together his own sample. Many a state could learn a lesson from them.
It was a super fun week. No pressure and learned a ton. Only one super big rut fest witnessed again but we tried to be considerate to the folks still hunting and weren’t going in after the elks. Only saw one bull that sent me to that dark place again 😉
Luckily for me, my brother likely has the points to draw next year. No better time to scout than during the rut. We make a plan to take the meat to town and get it processed so we can spend the next week there goofing off and watching the show. Took a few practice hero shots for 2024
