NO I'm just messing with you, I already have my hunt planned out. And it involves a shytload of hiking in the dark.

Sherman you wouldn't mind dropping me off on your way up the mountain would ya?

I put 32 and 29 as my first 2 choices. Sent put my app in the mail Friday morning. Ended up drawing my 3rd choice.

where are you located?

Congrats on the tag. I actually glassed a couple decent bucks this morning in 31. Rough country, pretty good amount of deer. Get ya some good boots and clear glass/tripod. Good luck

from what i've studied so far, the lack of access doesn't seem that big of a deal if you are willing to walk 6 or 8 miles. there are a handful of access points that give you a number of options to backpack in.

think these will drive down the prices of old razor scopes?

as often as the power goes out in morenci you may want to hang onto it

I'm starting to get pretty pumped for archery javelina hunts

I've never looked through those but having a 15x with just a 50mm objective would make me shy away from them, i'll bet you lose light quickly. And 15x free handing is not very effective for me. But if the price is right I'm sure they have their place.

just called in today and Virginia Slim informed me. nothing is up on my portal yet.

30A October hunt for me, which was my 3rd choice. oh well I'm just happy to be going, love huntin new country.

july 14 8:17 a.m.

Would love to look through a set of those one day. Does each eyepiece focus individually?

friends don't let friends buy doublers lmao

when I was still in college all I had was a little Honda, I guarantee it's been off road more than most of the pretty boy lifted trucks you see on the highway. Now I have a f150 and I'm really glad I have the 4x4 especially in those sandy washes in the flat country and up high on the late hunts

But what if he sees our legs?... Elk don't know how many feet a horse has!

Fireman how do you like the binobib ?

Hey guys, I shot a bull a few weeks ago and want to get him euro mounted for the garage. Taxidermist in town says he'll do for $100. I can get the pot and burner I need for a total of 60 bucks. Is it worth it do just do it myself, or is it darn near impossible to get it cleaned up as good as a professional can do it? Just wanna hear your guys' opinions. thanks

Here is the before and after of my bull. It came out nice and white, even before I bleached it. I simmered for a couple hours in water and super washing soda, power washed, then simmered again in dawn and water. Then I brushed on some 40 wt peroxide gel and here it is. This guy has a horse head on him, his cranium absolutely dwarfs my Wyoming rag horn I killed a few years back. Thanks for all the tips.

Yote I went w/ 15s

I wimped out and went with a used set of Euro hd's. Saved me 900 bucks to put toward tripod/head, new boots, pack; and they are very good glass

Look on youtube at Steven Rinella's vegan vs meat eater. Basically a guy calls him out at his book signing, and steve knocks it out of the park. I always enjoy the way Steve speaks, and feel he says a lot of what I'm thinking, I'm just not smart enough to word it like he does. Basically what he says is to not hunt, is more unnatural than hunting. He backs it up with archaeological facts, etc. I like when he talks about how he, as a hunter, will know more about and appreciate deer more than a non hunter ever could. Check it out, it's only a few minutes.

I didn't even know they made a 12x42.

I come from up north and have hunted deer and elk my whole life, but this javelina stuff is brand new to me. I have a 28 general tag and have been out scouting some, and I glass a lot of deer but no pigs, even in thick prickly pear country away from roads. Do these critters like to frequent the slopes and sit in the sun in the morning, or do they generally prefer the flats? I'm just wondering where to focus my glassing efforts and if rougher country is better or not. Thanks guys
