    Dry Ice

    Meat bags!

    I have a brand new set of Caribou Bags I can part with...only thing is they are moose sized. It's the magnum moose kit you can see on their website. Never used but I'd be a lot happier having someone use these than have them sit in my closet. Hit me up by DM if interested.

I'm open to cash or trade or whatever interesting proposition you have. Would like these to go to use...

    Sleeping bag decision help

    That's a good point. I set the date range for the first rifle season and looked at the historical data for the nearest city, but where I am planning on hunting will be a couple thousand feet higher than that city. 28 was the average Low

    Machine Shop Time

    Nope. We aren't really allowed to work on guns due to our insurance coverage. Which is totally cool by me. We usually tell people to take it to the best local gunsmith. Sorry it's not something we can help with.
