Kevin, if we are talking about the same piece, yes i have lost mine in the field. i called the Outdoorsman's in PHX. 800-291-8065 and they sent one in the mail, the cost w/ shipping was around $8 to $9.00. the piece screwed in the front of the glasses and there was a small allen head set screw to secure it, same "Critter"? i hope this helps.

I was west of the airport and south of the Apex sighting. Azsagebrush

I'm not lucky enough to walk in unit 9 with a bow in September so I thought that I would try it in January, and what a good feeling it was. It snowed about 3" Thursday night, so Friday morning I jumped on my quad and went west driving the 2 tracks looking to cut a javelina track. Around 11:00 and 20 miles, I cut what looked to be 6 javelina crossing the road. I grabbed my bow and off I went following the fresh track. I went about 100 yards and heard a soft "woof", I looked up from the tracks and there were 3 pigs and the closest only about 15 yards. I knocked an arrow and hooked on to my loop and started to draw when my release came off the loop and the arrow lobbed out in front of me about 10 feet. The pigs started to run off; I knocked another arrow and one of the pigs looked towards me stopping about 10 yards away on full alert, however, it was too thick to shoot. He then winded me and trotted off. I started to follow the pig track and about 40 yards down their tracks I saw pigs rooting around under a juniper tree. I ranged him at 27 yards, but it was again too thick to shoot. I caught movement to my left and as i turned, there were 2 pigs walking, I ranged the second pig at 22 yards and shot. I tracked the pig about 50 yards and saw him standing in front of me at 20 yards so I made the final shot. This was the first time that I have hunted javelina in the high country, it was a kick in the butt! Azsagebrush

I purchased a Pentax camera from Doug at Camerland, he was very helpfull and he made sure that it made it by Christmas. I have also used B&H Photo, they did me good too. Azsagebrush

My son uses a Canon GL1, it's a very nice camera. It is a larger camera, a little heavier than the palm size cameras, and it is a little pricey. B and H photo in NYC has the best price that we could find.

josh, i just tried to call you, no answer. my friends were there on weds. & thurs. and said there was no water in any of the tanks from the pull out view piont on 17 , south all the way to "high pig", they should have water now? give me a call when you get a chance. Azsagebrush

Hey rick, when did you become a "broker" for lighting? How's things in Page? Monty

The Coueskiller made it back from the big state, welcome back. Let's go get em!

the roads are still closed in unit 9, I just got back from the USFS in Tusayan and they said that gates will remain closed for 1-2 more weeks.

headache, the roads in unit 9 on the east side of 64 have been closed since last Tuesday, and it's driving me CRAZY. Good luck, and save us a few. P.S. It has snowed about 5" since noon today.
