    UPS loses cabelas TAGS

    Keith, be part of process and go to the meeting and speak your mind, just be respectful about it. Let the process play out, it will most likely go against them anyway. Looking back at Casey's post on the scale, I too believe he was jiving about the scale, post edited

    UPS loses cabelas TAGS

    I am definetely a sponsor of eliminating people from the draw who makes mistakes. It really pissed me off when they came out with the correction period and they notify people by phone if they made a mistake before a certain time. I'm not going to whine about it. If there is a legal and binding process that anyone can take advantage of because of a mistake, then they should allowed take advantage of it. It sounds like cabelas has a right to take advantage of a process to appeal there case before the commission the same way some of you take advantage of the correction period. Some of you guys are really getting butt hurt here.
  3. They will open the box and cash the checks so the can get their application fees and then reject the application

    swarovski booster

    I researched this doubler thing couple of years ago and everyone said it was a waste of money. There is always used ones for sale because of this.

    Long range rifles?

    If you don't mind the weight, the Sendaro in 7mm ultra or 300 ultra would be hard to beat. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms...ndero_SF_II.asp Top it it with your choice of a VariX III.

    Reminder to cherish every day.....

    This is a sad story that I continually read in the paper that has a headline like this "Car rolls on highway, occupants ejected and killed-occupants not wearing seat belts". It is a headline that is common especially among young people. A seat belt kept me in the passenger seat in my brothers open top 72 Blazer when he flipped it over by Klondyke back in 84. I walked away with a bump on my head. My sympathy to the familiy as there is noting more difficult than losing a son or daughter.

    Which Spotting Scope ?

    Clarity and field of view should be the same between the two. The 80 gives has better light gathering and larger exit pupil which gives an advantage in low light conditions.

  11. I'm figuring this guy is in his mid to late fifities and will only stay 3 to 5 years. Just long enough to bump up his multiplier for retirement.

    Best electronic caller???

    Ok I will chime in here, call the guys at http://www.allpredatorcalls.com/ and they will custom program the calls on a Foxpro that will work good in Arizona. They are hunters themselves and were located in Tucson before moving to Salt Lake. I have a FX3 and I plan on sending it in to upgrade it to the FX5 because I like the volume control knob on the remote.

    Logging the Tongass NF

    Shows your ignorance. Don't compare this Forest to something in Arizona or New Mexico. I've been on the Tongass on a detail when I worked for the Forest Service. Most of the that forest's practical use is logging. Most of this Forest is very isolated and is accessed by boat or plane. This is a huge Forest with three areas with three Forest supervisors. When doing my work in the remote areas, I had to stay near the work centers or have one of their guys walk with me carrying a 375 H&H mag, the prefered bear poison up there.

    Swaroviski 15x56 and minox 15x58 BR

    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..... I compared the Leica 10-15 to the swaro 15's and ended up getting the swaros. Bobyo is correct about the tripod adaptors, Swaro makes an excellent tripod adaptor.

    otc elk tag success ?

    Here's another look at the OTC tags. It gives those private property owners an opportunity to kill these problem Elk on their land. But the G&F could not just offer specific tags to certain people, they had to offer it to everyone. The people that will get full benefit from these tags are those who know exactly where these elk are, and where they feed.

    Hard Decision???

    Agree, saving $160.00 on sales tax makes it an internet purchase. Another good place is http://www.eagleoptics.com/ since they have a no hassle 30 day return policy. If you don't like them, send them back. Some places will charge you a 15% restocking charge for returns, this place won't.

    Hard Decision???

    If you have the swaro 15's, you wont need a spotter. These things on a tripod will do everything you want.

    Redington shooting range

    I grew up with the TRGC but have no desire to drive up that POS road.
  23. You can never go wrong with butchering it yourself. You can cut and portion it for packaging to meet your needs. Use the money you save to pay a butcher to buy yourself a Cabelas meat grinder. I buy myself something every year to improve my processing. This year was a vacuum package machine.

    Whats the dumbest thing you've done?

    Shoot a deer and then discover that your tag is not in your wallet and is sitting on the kitchen table at home.
