elkocd, I hear you about the extra hassle involved. This area got me thinking about using a bike when I had the deer tag but I haven’t pulled the trigger. I was in good shape but the long hikes every day were taking their toll. They sucked physically, but the time penalty was probably the...
4831sc 1 lb was avail here recently for at least 4 days, might still be but I doubt it. New prices suck but at least it was in stock For more than a couple hours.
Welcome to the club, it’s not as bleak as it may seem to you right now. I still look for them but don’t see the size I used to and I’m ok with that. Just when you think they aren’t out there anymore someone like breaks runner, etc posts a pic of a toad taken from public land. I still have fun...

It can be pretty bad up there. Saw an ok buck from the road one year and told my buddy that buck had 20 minutes at most to live. We hadn't even driven out of sight of the buck when someone stopped, got out of their truck, and shot him.
We put plastic caps on the end of our barrels in Iraq. Didn't affect accuracy, just looked like Elmer Fudd after we shot with the end of the cap blown out and curled away from the barrel.
