Has anyone hunted there. I would like to talk with you about your hunt Thanks

Mounted the Hawke Frontier 30 FD 1-8x24 on my 500 A2 a few days ago. Have not shot it yet but some observations. The daylight bright reticle is outstanding, my eye is instantly drawn to the dot just like my Meopta R1 4C, which is what I was looking for. The field of view is tremendous, just...

Had Gio book flights to Romania for a hunt in February 2027 2 days ago. Received and email last night that a lower fare became available for my flights, he voided first tickets and issued new ones. This saved me $228, nice work I'll buy some more ammo lol
