I have the 4.0s and zero complaints on battery life. Mine still have over 90% battery and they've been running since Aug. 8th. However, I'll get a pic and then 10 minutes later another pic with same animals feeding but none in between while I should get pics every minute or so based on settings.

Then deal one extra card FACE UP. That suit is TRUMP. The upcard belongs to the dealer, so the dealer has SIX cards.

I wear Timberlands and Thorogoods. I have several pairs of work boots and rotate them daily. Even on days when I walked alot the day before my feet are comfortable because each boot rubs and stresses different areas.

I was taught if you have the A,K,Q of trumps you have to lead off with them in an attempt to draw out everyone else's trumps and Bourre other players
Yep, or Kentucky Mules using Bourbon. Beer's for mowing or cooking when you can't make a drink. Any other time it's Bourbon neat or simple cocktail. :cheers:

The best advice I ever received regarding feeders was:

"Do not turn them off in the off-season, just leave them running empty"

I just filled two All-season feeders that I haven't done anything more than replace the timer battery and add corn in 2+ yrs

I have heard good things too. Pointed rounds don't shoot well in autoloaders I'm told.

I made the Broken Bow trip. We had a good trip. It's all for fun and you don't even have to keep score if you don't want to and you can use rangefinders. We shot 75 targets over three days. Everything from a King Cobra to a Bigfoot and the elusive black panther. The three courses we shot had the targets placed from <40 to 104yds.
I had one failure to fire on a hog because the bolt didn't close. I had lowered the charging handle quietly to load it. Now I'm OCD about punching the forward assist a couple times every hunt while sitting in my stand.

I have two SBE's one I bought in 1995 that I use for flying critters because it somehow always hits where I'm looking. The other is synthetic and setup with a reddot for shooting big Tungsten loads at public land hogs.
I carry in my pocket when wearing shorts. Use a soft coozie for a holster so I don't inadvertently find the trigger digging for my keys.

IIRC that's a 9lb+ rifle so I would look at a light scope like a Vortex Razor LHT.

All Season
If you have bears don't go with lighter than 600lbs and drive minimum of 3 T post to ratchet strap them in place or they will push them over and pull off the lid. I run mine year round but quit filling after the season. Solar panel keeps battery charged and nothing locks up from sitting dormant all summer.

ETA if you don't have bears you can get an economical version from Buc-ees
