    Hey Kyle!!

    Happy Birthday Kyle!
  4. I've got the ZEN as well. I really like it. The best way to load music on to it is by ripping CDs into MP3s and loading the tracks on to your ZEN. You can do this through the Media Player if you are running Windows on your computer. As for the download sites, if you have a debit card for your checking account, you can use that for the registration. Ambuscher is right in that they really want your card information so they can charge you when you forget to unsubscribe when your trial is up.
  5. Kathleen - Mike Graves is from Big Lake. He is a pilot for one of the oil companies and in his off time does some guiding. In fact he had a hard landing about the time you guys were "surfing" your way downstream, trying to fly out some of his clients who were also on a sheep hunt. They were in the Chugiak Mountains up from Klutina Lake behind Black Mountain. Everyone walked away and the plane was salvageable. Mike called in a buddy of his to take the clients and their sheep and gear on out then waited while his buddy returned with a chopper to lift his plane out.
  6. Kathleen - First, Welcome Home! Your pictures are absolutely amazing. I have heard from my good friend Mike Graves about the majesty of Alaska for years but this trip and the blow by blow that buckee provided really brought it to life for me. Thank you for taking me along for what was surely the ride of my lifetime.
  7. Prayers on the way Jeramie, take care and be safe.
  8. Good on you, you should be proud! I grew up on your Granddad's music in Charlotte, NC.
  9. Hang in there Dakota, there is an idiot in every crowd. You see Ray yet:rolleyes:
  10. Thanks for the help guys, I think I am on the right track now.
  11. Tikka T3 in .223 topped with a Burris 3 - 9 x 40, when I am not using my 45 cal. ML.
  12. Nice pics! Which one to shoot, tough choice for sure. Like buckee said whichever one presented the best shot I guess.
  13. Great story and pictures, she must be a dog/coyote cross. I agree with buckee, she wont last long with that type of temperament. It's a shame too, she would be a great addition to a well managed wildlife petting zoo. I didn't see any pics of your catch though.
  14. I believe you are gonna need some help with those, I would like to volunteer my services. Those are some nice deer!
  15. Oh Man, Great pic! Gotta wonder how he survived this long.
  16. Yeah Strut it is a red dot laser that projects onto the target. The setup is exactly like the one in the picture from Rem308's post. I was thinking I would zero the scope at 25 yards and move back in 10 yard increments till i got to 50 and mark my drop at each juncture, then move back up to 25 yards and zero the red dot laser to the scope and do the same thing for it. Or am I making it too complicated to try and zero them both together and should just go ahead and zero them independantly of each other.
  17. The Knight is an escellent choice, I have a CVA 209 with the laminated stock. I use the Pyrodex pellets and Powerbelts as well and it is scary accurate. I followed Bluelk's advice and lapped the barrel and it really improved the accuracy and cleaning between hunts.
  18. I was just gifted with one of GAMO's new Varmint Hunters with the scope, red dot and light on it. I have never set up a red dot before, should I adjust the red dot until it is centered in the crosshairs of the scope and if so at what distance or adjust it independently of the scope? Many Thanks in advance for any guidance you can lend here.
