  1. The kaibab 18x56 are about as worthless as it gets.too much magnification for the glass quality.right side ocular focus needs to constantly be adjusted after moving the main focus just a fraction of an inch.eyecups are too big to get close to your eyes,allowing excess light to get to and reflect off of the lens.if you are already crosseyed they may not bother you too much.me, I cut my kaibabs in half and saved the left side with focus knob intact to make an 18x lite spotter.problem solved.

  2. Get into more rugged country where some jerk off cant drive his side-by-side thru the area you are hunting,happens all the time if you are in the "flats".and if you see trucks forming a roadblock on a public road go around it and hunt there anyway just to piss them off.(again,happens all the time.)

  3. Was out hunting 36b with some freinds on sunday and noticed almost zero deer movement from dawn until about 10 am.thought that was a little odd until border patrol started rolling in hot on the access road.theyspread out and seemed to be trying to cover as much ground as possible by where they set up.we stayed a bit longer to see what was going on.started seeing whitetail bounding over the ridges toward our side of the mountain like crazy.then a chopper showed up and circled low dozens of times behind the ridge we were on.never did see the group they were chasing but you could tell it wasn't your average border jumpers.


  4. I like the idea of following newburger and hush around when they inevitably come back down to az for january otc in unit 36b.make it a party and let them know how we feel.if anyone wants to know where they stay (air bnb) just say so.makes a great place to wait til they leave in the morning to see where they hunt that day.

  5. Agreed,and no worries,I enjoyed your rant.I have been harassed most times I have hunted there,usually at gunpoint.I still get out there to hunt coyotes in the winter,and typically see a lot of lion and bobcat.I am also familiar with the money wasted on  the quail and antelope “programs”.bottom line is plenty of hunters go to BANWR to hunt deer and javelina and should also be able to harvest the apex predators as well.Lord knows the place needs a serious thinning.


  6. Ya,I live here so I’m familiar with the failed attempts to get a bobwhite population and the money spent.it seems that there are possibly a few hunter friendly people working there,one being the assistant manager,Stan Culling.it seems that there may be a chance to hunt cats on this refuge but this hinges on hunter support and voicing our opinion on this subject you email to Stan Culling.
