Title: Didn't win the Gould's Hunt but…..
Post by: slamman on July 09, 2014, 11:46:27 PM
I would have taken the turkey hunt but at the last minute decided to purchase two tickets at $10 a piece for the Swarovski Optics package and ended up winning it.  This will come in real handy for me when I hunt elk, speed goat, Coues deer and bighorn sheep.

Wow!  What a win!  You could go on several Goulds turkeys hunts for what that package is worth!

What a great win!

No substitute for premium optics especially in the west.

Congrats on the win.  My SLCs are one of the best big game investments I've made.
