Printing is becoming a dying art. Something I actually went to school for I used to love running the presses.

Bump

So what is the ratio they want up there?

Congrats man, I'd love to kill a moose!

We go to Mexico. There's a reputable guy in Naco.

1. Dont assume that you won't run into a rattle snake. Have a plan in place for if crap goes wrong, it's real easy to slip and hurt yourself in Coues country. A Garmin In Reach could save your life. Be prepared for temp extremes, can get hot during the day and cold at night. 2. I'd shoot for a southern unit. The ideal scenario for getting on a buck isn't picking a huge canyon. For archery the big canyons have long ridges that break down into smaller canyons and fingers. I think those outer fingers would be better to start with. Finding does is a good idea but may not be reliable until mid january when the rut starts going strong. 3. Understand thermal currents and how they work. Glass your buck early, wait until he beds and come in from on top of him because thermals by that time should be going uphill. Read threads on glassing, the how, where, when and why. 4. Imo, having a lightweight tripod is almost as or even more important then the glass. I'm assuming you know you should be glassing with your binos on the tripod. 8 power is a bit week. Keep in mind most typical glassing scenarios will put you 200-300 yards away from the deer as your minimum. My typical glassing range with 15s is 300-800 yards. I think you should have 10 power minimum. Although 15s are the standard 12s are getting more and more popular but for the most part its the high end 12s. The 8s are perfect for the stalk but not for glassing them up from a distance. Id seriosly consider looking into quality 10s or 12s. On the cheap range I'd say vortex vultures or viper as a minimum for glassing off the tripod. For what you can get viper 12s or 15s for they offer a lot of bang for the buck and they are pretty darn lightweight. If you can afford expensive there's a whole bunch of good options out there. Good luck

Got paper regs today at Walmart in Sierra Vista

No updates? Been trying to get out, hopefully this weekend...

Paper regs where are you???

How many did you spend at the brothel?

That looks so incredibly fun!

If you don't want full size check out the kowa 664s. They are supposedly neck and neck with the swaro but for about a grand.

Very nice! I think I could make one of those. Where did you find the aluminum stock? Do welding shops carry it? Also, just curious, what type of tripod head is that?

Some superheroes don't wear capes... #Horsekillerzaz

If i take the docters for a weekend im pretty sure we'll just end up in a custody battle.

Could you post some pics of your set up?

Yeah there was a place in Prescott (Garrett Precision), don't think it's in business anymore. However I heard of another guy in Prescott that used to make them who owns a popular map making company. Won't post the name until I know for sure. Waiting to hear back. That being said, I'm thinking making my own as others have stated is the way to go.

pretty sure they would have to be rotated. I found a used bracket for $300 which sounds good considering all the prices Ive seen.

Yup, just stopped by wal mart. Nada.

When do the paper regs come out? I need them for my ritual!

Sorry man.

The route making feature is not what I meant. The point and go feature is where you point the GPS and point and lock the direction. Then you type in the distance and it alerts you when you get to that spot. It's great for stalking a bedded animal or locking in the spot where you shot an animal from where you were and it will take you to that exact spot to start looking for blood. You can "kind of" do it with onx but there is a far greater margin of error.

Id like to here more of the elk story with the wardens. Did he report them and that's why they have a supposed axe to grind? Was this before or after his arrest? Is the deer rut question a rhetorical question? Seems like you would already know the answer to that question.

Oh yeah, got confused with his license plate!

Hey everyone, Daisy is doing super well. She is eating on her own and seems like she will make a full recovery. Honestly it kind of blows my mind! As I understand it she was actually thrown from the vehicle which is amazing enough, and on top of the both legs were broken up top and on bottom and yet she defies all the odds. She was transferred from El Paso to the Phoenix hospital and is expected to be there for the next 6 weeks or so. Please continue to keep her in prayer. Saw the boys at Rojo house yesterday. They brought down a uhaul from Colarado and are slowly moving into and unpacking into the family home. As soon as they wrap that up they will head back up to be with Daisy. Thanks for the prayers!
