Although a running truck with heat and a soft seat and real food ain’t too shabby compared to a tent and flat sleeping pad. Now I’m considering writing up my CO archery elk hunt from last year where I missed 3 elk in a two day period. 😵‍💫 I know, I know…. I suck Big_RedHead's son.

Really need to pull the trigger and try a SG. I really like my SO but I swear when it’s cold it’s noisy…. Great buck! Last edited by Springcove; 04/02/22.
