I have one and got the same deal! I have not used it yet. It's a little big for day hunts. I may buy the hybrid x in June when it comes out. It's smaller and still carries meat the same way as the larger commander x . I may even get a mystery ranch pintler before I go this fall.

I am going elk/muley hunt in Colorado 2nd season. Should I bring my tree stand with me? We are hiking in every day so I would not be packing it in with all of my gear.

I have a Alps Outdoorz Commander X and frame, but it is just too big for day trips It's a 66L pack and weighs around 9 lbs. The pintler looks to be a good sized pack for day use.

That's a good looking pack. I may go that route. I'm looking at the pintler as a good go between day pack and large expedition pack.

Has any one seen any of the new Mystery Ranch packs? I like the looks of the Pop Up 28 or the Mule. I just need a good daypack with good load handling capabilities.

I just bought a VX-5HD 3-15x44 with firedot duplex and CDS. Well worth the money. Contact Schmalts. I bought one from another source just days before he PM'd me when he got another batch in. I paid $2 more that he charges.

I have passed on several whitetail, not because of a shot, because they were not what I was looking for. Most times I watch them for a while through the scope to get a good look at them. I killed a real nice 8 point 2 years ago that I watched as he covered a 300 yd field. I shot him at...
I have a 20g rifled barrel,.243,7mm-08, 7mm mag and 300 win mag barrels. My 243 and 7mm-08 shoot sub moa easy, my 20g shoots 2" groups at 100 yds and i have not shot the 7mm or 300 yet. Most of the barrels that I have had were real shooters. I had a 22-250 that shot 1/2 moa easily with the right...
I feel that having just 1 shot has made me a better hunter. I have become more patient and tend to look for my shot. I shot a young 5 point buck this fall at 150 yds off hand with my encore in 20g. I used Hornady 20g SST slugs, made 1 shot and dropped him like a stone. I find my self taking my...
