I may be tired but I will be there! Plan will come into Rapid City about 8PM from Hawaii, after the 20+ hour flight. So I'll be able to catch up with about 6 hours sleep. I'm thinking the drain I will be feeling is going to help me win this year!
Congratulations! Definitely on my bucket list. Ernie and I have talked about planning a trip there in the near future. I hope we can make the journey soon with handguns.
Check out SWFA, they have been good scopes at reasonable cost. im not a fan of Vortex. ive had to use their warrenty too much. Sightron also has some good scopes.

Shot 3 elk with them this year, all one shot kills. 230-360 yards out of a 6.5-06. I've always been leary of bergers for hunting due to some bad experience's but decided to give the 156 a try. No bullets were recovered.
I did get the elk bundle. It is way better than the Walmart stuff I have always used. I'm happy with the purchase. They did have the hoodie on backorder for some time so I didn't have it on my first trip. Later I got the hoodie and with all the layers it is very warm but not bulky. I will...
