    Daughters and Hunting

    I have a 10 year old daughter that loves to hunt, but with me. We have had the discussion about her shooting game, and even though she likes to shoot a .22 at the range, she does not want to harvest something on her own. This may change as she gets older, and she may want to harvest something...

    Glad that I found this thread, and thanks for sharing your hunt! Great pics, and those teeth are huge!

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    People say that laws are impartial, but how those laws are interpreted or enforced is certainly not impartial these days.

    New Sitka ambient 100 full zip?

    Am I also seeing zippered hand pockets as well? That's a good upgrade.

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    I've worn Johnson, but for a lighter weight to layer underneath, the Korean war field pant at ~$40 is hard to beat. They are tough as nails, a bit itchy, but work well.

    Hunting outerwear vs ski wear

    I ski in my stone glacier M7 jacket in the northeast, and it works great. However, like StopMakingSense said, hunting pants and ski pants do not mix, so get a dedicated ski bottom for sure.

    Hard shell confusion

    If you are looking at Marmot, I would bump up the the minimalist jacket over the precip. I have it and its' pretty solid, and has pit zips to vent. Another option is the OR Foray jacket. The minimalist and foray are pretty similar with gore-tex, and a good rain hard shell. For colder...

    Light Weight Scope Help - Dependable Elevation Dialing

    I've always had leupold, but recently ended up buying my first Trijicon and got the 3-9 credo. It's just a little heavier than the VX3, but man, what a scope! The turrets are capped, but if you are dialing in a shot, you have time to spin them off, if needed. The green MOA reticle is great...

    Sold New Leupold VX3HD 3.5 - 10x40 CDS-ZL

    Brand new scope still in box, and all I did was take the plastic off. It's a Leupold VX3HD 3.5 - 10x40 CDS-ZL, and you will get the free CDS cap when you decide on a load. $410 TYD and price is firm. I have too many scopes.

    BlackOvis Softshell, Wind Shirt & Heavy pants

    I have the wind hoodie, but I'm done with softshells. If you want the one jacket with a bit of warmth, waterproof, some stretch , etc, buy the SG M7 and never look back. I ski with it, wear in cold rain, hunt, it is across the board the best jacket I've ever had.

    Low budget backpacking quilt or bag

    Thanks for the info on the Paria quilt. Do you have the long? I'm 6'6" so this may be too short for me.

    Gun safe in a basement okay?

    Just use a dehumidifier in the muggy summer months, and a golden rod in the safe all year and you will be fine. I live on cape cod and it's humid as hell, and my safe is in the basement. Zero issues but the golden rod is key.
