Phew.. I thought I was the only one who did not like the taste of the Vortex kool-aid. Having a fantastic warranty is great!!!, problem is, you WILL have to use it. Let's just hope it is not during a hunt of a lifetime.

LOL. I guess I am late to the party

I will second the Kuiu. I have used the crooked horn harness for years. I recently switched to the Kuiu, and ohh what a difference. Keeps the binos tight to the chest and gives you the option of using the cover or no cover. highly recommend this system.

maybe escaped from that hunting ranch by kingman???

In a good way?

I am relying on jimmy!! I need you to twist my arm, so I forget about all the big ole' muleys in the desert during Dec. and January!!

Biggest buck of the bunch is 182" Great hunting trip for sure! Nice work!!

I have 100$ chrony and have had no problems with it. My drop charts match exactly as they should, so I think it is pretty accurate.

Is it me?, or is this the most amount of lost and found gear you have seen posted on this website? Why is everyone losing all their stuff this year? I sure hope that everyone who lost something and gets it returned to them, via this website, Makes the appropriate donation to Amanda.

Nice looking mounts! Does your Canvasback have a real white chest? I have one mounted, but have not yet shot a full plumed out bright white chested one. My bird to get this year is a full plumed gadwall. I should, keyword "should" be able to accomplish this.

I just picked up a 14 ram 2500 with the new 6.4 gasser. For a gas motor, it has great power. Mileage is good. The new suspension on the 14 and up rams is awesome. Coil spring rear, and a new front suspension as well. Rides great! As far as towing, all reports say it does good, but I have not had a chance to test it out yet.

I have heard a lot of negative with the ultra's as well. .. The Exo is getting good reviews by most, but I know a few very prominent backpacking guys that say this pack is having some pretty big issues. This might be the reason why Steve is so far behind his initial release of the 2nd run. Look at Kifaru too, a little heavier but a solid pack with a phenominal customer service dept.

It is geared more toward private land hunts. For Example: If I have a piece in texas, and you have a piece in Kansas, we can trade a hunt with each other.

It is not required, but IMO one should always have some sort of orange on them while rifle hunting in AZ. Lots of hunters in congested areas can lead to a bad situation. I usually wear an orange hat, if I am rifle hunting.

Holy Sh#@. That is the best I have ever seen!!! Awesome day for sure. I would down a 9 pack after downing that 9 pack!

So you are saying that guys back east are just living out their high school dreams hunting from a stand? I wonder if there are as many fist fights back east as in mens softball... LOL

If the meat is partially frozen, it is much easier to grind. Right at the point in which the meat is flexible, yet starting to get stiff is perfect for grinding.

Reading comprehension... A lost art form.. I love your post 5guys. Made me laugh my arse off.

Congrats to all involved, a buck of a lifetime!!

Different hunts, hunting situations call for different approaches. Patterning animals in AZ is not an easy task. To say hunting from a blind is easy, or takes no skill, is not a very true statement. I have taken many animals spot and stalk archery, but have also taken a few sitting water. Knowing which water they are going to hit that evening, placing your blind, or building a blind on the right side of the wind, predicting where an animal will enter the waterhole, can all be factors that can make for a successful or unsuccessful hunt. I am sure most able bodied hunters prefer the spot and stalk method, because lets face it, sitting tree stands or water can be BORING!! IMO, adapting to the hunting pressure or animal tendencies during said hunt is what makes the hunt. Takes a lot of knowledge and skill to shy away from what your normal style of hunting is, in order to be successful. There have been many great animals posted on this site that have been killed from a stand or blind. Some of the hunter put in over 10 days trying to make their hunt successful. Back east, the hunting is completely different than out west. They are really not comparable. If you go tromping thru the thick brush pockets, your odds of killing a dear are probably going to be less than 10%. It is very thick, with lots, as I call them, land mines. ( objects on the ground that will produce a bunch of noise when stepped on.) Some of my buddies from back east, put in soooooo much time scouting, it is unbelievable. Patterning a big buck is an almost impossible task, when they go nocturnal. Knowing how to catch him in the daylight is where their skill comes in. As Oneshot stated: Go back there and try it, it may not be as easy as you think.

LOL!! I try to refrain from looking thru the newest swaro's for this very reason! They truly are brilliant.

LOL

Awesome scope, I own the same model, and as stated above, this will blow most scopes out of the water in it's same price point.
