Nice to get down there though, picked up the Nosler 6th reloading guide, 180 Accubonds and 168gr Bergers all on sale plus I had a cabelas coupon so the trip was worth it ;)

Sounds like a successful trip none-the-less!! 2 great partition choices IMO

Yea, I'm sure this site and the collective info on it put just about any hunting course to shame, though I'm sure Cabelas put on a good show.

I just couldnt justify the trip, maybe if I knew I had been pulled, but not prior to
