Gino, watch it there buddy! Mike, I thought I let that bird get out there, guess I didnt let her get out there far enough huh?! I thought the 12 guage was gonna blow her up also, but i was using number 8 and let her get out there a little bit so it wasnt bad.

One of the notorious 'elk slayers' had a birthday today! You should be in bed, but happy belated birthday none the less HC1!!! The big 14! Just think, two years from now HC and MrsHC will be sweatin bullets gettin you a car and insurance!

very nice! Thats a good size fox too!

Agreed, that's insane. I got 2 words... "Controlled burns" Congrats Jim, sounds like you guys earned that one. Nice buck. Oh and by the way, you said you guys saw some big bucks... how big? Kevin, when I was down there two weeks ago, we actually talked about how a controlld burn would help lol! doug, I killed my buck (same ranch) at 379 ft. above sea level

Doug, he has! Thats basically the only reason deer can be spotted!

Well heck I'll give ya 150.00 TJ, your letting $100 hang you up on some Swaros man!! Come on get that extra $100 cause you wont find em at that price!

Gotta love close outs!

I'm hoping so... I'll keep everyone posted. Longshooter, your memory is terrible. You shot cats, I shot rabbits... and we used .22's . Although i do hope this caller and my .17 make a good cat set-up...just ones with spots Kevin, all is good except that .17! Need bigger for the dogs!

I have had em come into howling, but for the most part have had success with it being a locater.

I need to do that trick.... Take my busted bow out there and then fix it when that buck is standing there in front of me!

The Randy Anderson videos are nice, but dont really pertain to AZ. Most of his calling is farther East of us.. Nebraska, Iowa, etc.. not really Az or Nevada terrain. Check out the stuff put out by Zepps Game Calls. I am good friends with one of the top guys over there. A few of my coyote kills should be on the next video, as well as my 425 yd shot on a jack rabbit with the vapor trail. Mark Zepp just called in a lion last week and a guy killed it here in AZ.

hahahaha quote of the month right there. im still on the floor laughin Now, I'm not surprised Doug threw taxidermy, hunting equipment, and beer in there but women!? That a boy Doug!

Lark, what about that guy that you saw shoot his deer with a 7mm-08, he shot him a second time and when he got over there the second bullet him in the arse. same guy?

Yeah.... and he has BOTH horns still attached to the skull plate!!!! And you don't have to point out that it is the smallest buck that I have killed with my bow in the last five years..... You better watch your self old man. I can make sure you dont sport two horns either Just kidding... sorta.

Awesome!!! That mesquite looks awesome!

Brian, did you actually spend some money? Holy cow thats a first!

If they are heirlooms i would leave them alone. really. the knicks and scratches are stories. I wouldnt touch them.

Daniel, ill be headin up to flat the weekend of the 15, 16 and 17th to get some dogs! will have the 22-250 with me and the 270wsm for the ones that hang up way out there

I would play the baby cottontail, distreesed rodent and juve cottontail for fox/bob cats. The chicken and house cat maybe try near some rural houses? I am looking at a electronic caller at SW, it is $34 and as the variable loudness. Sine it can not be changed by the remote, I will have to start it out loud and just let it go to town!

Come on now Kevin... I have already broken down the price... But I guess it does take the more intelligent Leica owners to see the logic behind the $1300 savings that you get when you buy the Duovids over the Swaros. When I comepared the Leicas and Swaros side by side, I 100% chose the Leicas over Swaros for clarity and edge to edge clarity. And us Leica owners are not dumb enough to let our tripods fall over, so we dont need the warranty. PS, my Spanish is more than mediocore, it got me a 84% on the Border Patrol test

Ive read a buck or two by O'Connor and he was one heck of a guy and sure knew his stuff! That is one cool pic!

I can imagine!

...Genius!!!...with comments like this...no wonder why Reese keeps you around, who would have figured. Dont waste your money on them Lee-ca's, I would buy the minox's before leeca's. Warranty-wise if you send back your Leica, dont expect them to send back for another 5 months. Too many people telling me horror stories about their customer service, if you could call it that Also keep in mind the new Vortex 15's Hey, it aint my fault I can do math and logical reasoning... thats what you get when you attend college, even if it is NAU lol! Have you ever looked through the Vortex azryan? I have only looked at em one time, at Ruffs in flagstaff and I must tell you, i was VERY disapointed! They didnt fit my eyes well, and were not nearly as clear as people say they are. I have never heard a horror story about Leicas warranty, only praises. Maybe we both have biased ears. Bobbyo, I think you are dead nuts on with the tripod adapter analysis! However, there are some good ones out there. Jim White makes a very simple one that I use that is as simple as it gets. Outdoorsmans makes on also, I will be switching to this one shortly just because with it on you can actually clamp down your binos and not worry about them falling "off" the tripod like with the JW. Ps Hc, I dont think he meant anything by the english comment, think it was more toungue in cheek humor

Dont waste your money with the duovids. There is a reason why Swarovski sells a lot more, they are better. I guess Bass Pro got rid of their Leica selection, the optics guy informed me of this his exact words " they do not sell enough". They are more expensive then Swarovski, but "clearly" are not as good. I love the feud between Swarovski and Leica they are both good but Swarovski still wins out. Your right, i doubt Leica sells as much as Swarovski does. Most people pay for the name when it comes to Swaros. Leica has to be doing something right since they have been around for ever ( Leitz before they were Leica) The duovids are more expensive but you get two pairs of binos in one. lets break this down : Swarovski SLC 10x50 binos =$1799. Swarovski 15x56 binos = $1999 add that up and you get $3800 ( NOT CHEAP) Then you get the Leica duovids which are 10 and 15 or 8 and 12 power all in one,that are just as good (better) than the swaros for a whopping $2645 ( all prices from bearbasin.com) now, according to my calculations that is a savings of $1200... hmmm makes sense to me but then again.....

Pedro, based on your name, i am going to guess that you speak spanish, if i am in correct, please excuse me. Leicas son las mejores del mundo. los swarovskis estan bueno, pero, no son Leicas. cuando azryan hablan, no oidas! el es un nino muy joven quien no sabe nada! Gamehauler es muy veijo, y el no sabe nada! pero longshooter,old timer y yo, nos estamos muy MUY intelligeinte! yo veo muchas mas vendados con mis leicas de azryan y gamehauler han con los swarovskis! si quiere comprar lo mejor, compra las lecias pronto!
