I don’t know if you’re looking new new, but if I had to buy something other than my 18 Tundra I really like the 2010-19ish Chevy/GMC 2500s with the old 6.0 gas V8. I used a few of those hard and I liked them a lot. Kind of like the 2nd gen tundras, they were pretty technologically old fashioned...
Damnit, if this happened in Billings I could have pirated those rock warrior wheels off of it… They have just a touch more space for chains up front than the stock wheels on my Tundra, but people are pretty proud of them on the used market.
Killed my deer with a synthetic and stainless rifle this year, but I love wood. I’ve hauled my old .270 up a lot of mountains and slept in the tent with it on backpack trips. It’s what I carried sheep hunting this year too.
You’re already set up to load the .280 Ackley, so to me it makes sense to get one for yourself too. I think the .270 and .280 are just about the perfect all around cartridges for North America. But I do love the .30-06 and .300 win mag as well.
I shot a buck this year and last year. The last one before that was 7 years ago. I wish we would change our management and season structure, but I really enjoy hunting and eating mule deer. If I find a buck that I like I’m going to shoot it and be happy about it.
I am selling these barely used Schnee’s Granite II size 11.5D. I just cannot make these boots fit my feet like my other boots do, so I’m going to let them go at a very steep discount to someone who can wear them. As you can see by the photos they are just barely broken in with basically no wear...
I was playing with a 4” python at Scheel’s the other day and was damn tempted to buy one. The diamond D chest rig is very nice, I have one for my Blackhawk.
This is awesome. Congrats on a good season. I’ve been trying to prioritize the fun of being out there a lot more myself. I’ve enjoyed hunting with my dad a lot more this fall.
