You tried your best to help the little feller. There was nothing else you could do. Nature can be cruel and random sometimes. Doves are not exactly master nest builders and sometimes pick very precarious nest sites. I had one build a nest on the very skinny end of a palo verde tree in my front yard. She laid two eggs but the first monsoon erased all trace of the nesting site. Good luck on your hunt and let us know how it goes.

I recommend staying a member of the site and keep contributing, commenting, and asking questions. Our members are diverse and the opinions are as well. Some, I agree with. Some, I vehemently disagree with. (For the latter, though, I generally just ignore the post and move on and not let it color my view of the site as a whole.) The founder and administrator of the site whose handle is CouesWhitetail is female and working biologist who has already spent more time in the back country than the rest of us can dream of. She answered your question "javelina" and I concur. She works hard to keep the site civil and has even made a dedicated protected forum for political discussions so people can bash "libtards" or "republican'ts" to their heart's desire without bothering the rest of us. But, in reality, it's the Internet and the ability to control the discourse is limited. Your post was not the first one to post a picture of scat and ask for an ID. I think that says a lot about how cool this site is. But, although humans age, we have a remarkable ability to stay immature for our entire lives. I'm Exhibit A in the regard. Consequently, when the topic of poop comes up there are bound to be jokes and insincerity. So consider sticking around.

Thanks for posting the picture of the reticle. Free bump.

Could you post a picture or link to the RZ 600 reticle that's on the Conquest HD5? I've googled it but have come up with several similar looking but slightly different results. Thanks.

For what you describe, I'd go with an Outdoorsmans pistol grip WITH a panning attachment. The pistol grip is strong and maneuverable but the panning attachment adds hands-free panning because once you set the panning tension right you can move your field of view laterally (panning) with just a tap of the bridge of your nose without ever taking your eyes out of the binos. (Set the tension light enough that you can pan with pressure but with enough tension that it stops moving when you stop touching it.) IF a big spotting scope was going to be a significant part of your plan, you might want the Outdoorsmans pan head or the Jim White pan head (also now an Outdoorsmans product). Let us know what you end up with. You'll have a blast! Post pics of your hunt too. We'd love to see them.

Wow! Great footage. I love the coyote trot. It must be efficient because it seems like they can do that all day. My cattle dog/border collie mix does that. Thanks for posting.

That's a Forkasauras!

Beautiful! I love giant 2 points. Congratulations! Thank for posting.

Bump for a very creative (and funny) post. Good luck on the sale.

To me, PMing someone who speaks negatively about the entire population of your state and, therefore, you personally, is more honorable and certainly more gentlemanly than engaging in a public internet urinating exhibition. We may not agree with the politics of our neighboring states (or even of our own state) but to say that we dislike nearly 40 million fellow Americans based on the state in which they reside is an overreach. Josh, 23 is a huge and very diverse unit. There are no bad areas. There's thick timber in the northern parts but there are also lots of places to glass from throughout the unit. Get good binoculars and put them on a good tripod. You'll be surprised at what you see. It may not be what you have a tag for but, nonetheless, it'll be cool.

How old is it?

Great find and cool photo! Thanks for posting.

'nuther huntin' meme.

Wow! Great finds and cool video! I loved that you involved the family too. It's a great family pastime (and your kiddos are adorable)! Thanks for posting.

Both scopes sold. Thank you.

Both are SPF. If the sale and back-ups fall through, I'll re-post. Thank you!

I live in south Tempe roughly by Kyrene Rd. and Warner Rd. PM me if you want to inspect either scope.

Which Kowa is being discussed here? (I'm currently looking for a swaro and was going between the STS and STX but I've not considered Kowa.) Thank you!

Welcome to CWT.com! It was very gentlemanly of you to introduce yourself and give us some background. (In today's world, people are understandably cautious when someone's first post is to sell something.) Although your hunting days may be over, as long as you can make it to a computer you'll be able log on to CWT.com and experience other people's hunts vicariously. And, hopefully, you'll share some of your hunting experiences gleaned over the last eight decades. I bet you've learned a thing or two. Again, welcome.

Anything by Ed Abbey. Desert Solitaire is his most famous and is great but there are others. Maybe a perfect book for reading in a deer blind is Ed Abbey's A Voice Crying in the Wilderness (Vox Clamantis in Deserto) - Notes From a Secret Journal. It's small (very packable) and is a collection of his aphorisms, some only a sentence long, so you can read it, then look up for deer while you're thinking about it, letting it percolate, and deciding if you agree with it our not.

This is a fun thread! I'm looking forward to updates. Thanks for posting.

Someone should buy this Jeep. You could sing this song every day:

Come on Hurricane Bud!

I had an old K-Bar knife that was my grandfather's. The leather sheath was cracked, brittle and not usable. I found this leathersmith in Oro Valley. I sent the knife to him and he made a custom made a sheath for it. I love it. We'll get another 3 generations of use out of it now. (I can send or post pics if you want.) http://www.thorshammercustomleather.com/

I'm looking forward to your review. A lot of us are in the same boat, meaning we're looking for a spotting scope and weighing the pros and cons of the different types.
