    Pelican Custom Foam?

    Recommendations? Will carry one rifle and RRS tripod with Anvil head in Pelican case. I assume the items are able to be scanned from pictures and then only the foam needs to be shipped? Can I get this accomplished before the end of June?

    After seeing the bino harness post, I’d like to ask what everyone is using to carry with your binos? I use Zeiss Victory 10X45 RF and Glock 30 for size comparisons.

    Tripod / Head Options

    Looking for a good (not great) tripod / head for ATX spotter. It will be set up from the pickup so packing isn't a consideration. I'm not a guide so it won't be in the field every day. Quality and cost are the big factors. Thank you.

    Forest Closure?

    What units in 16 are affected by this and I am assuming there will be zero chance of the closure lifting in time for the elk season? When will the state issue refunds? It seems like this is bad news for the tag holders but I really don't know? [http://www.inciweb.org/incident/article/2900/14517/]

    Antelope Migration Video

    No more Kansas landowner tags..?

    This is from the state website: "There will be no landowner transferable permits in 2008. Nonresident application period is May 1 - 31." What caused this change? I always wanted to hunt KS and figured that I would buy a landowner tag if I couldn't draw. I would appreciate any information.
