I drew a tag that I did not put in for.....I made a photo copy of my application and the mistake was made by the Game and Fish (my application was typed so poor penmanship was not the issue)....I know mistakes happen...but what happens when I contact the Game and Fish? Redman

I hear ya Lee, having a tag in the hand is like having two in the bush....I am really having a tough time making a decision. With the lower tag numbers that the leftover units, it may be a good tag to keep..... Redman

AZBob, you described exactly what happened, I would not have drawn a tag anyways based on the random number. I have not decided if I am going to keep the tag I got drawn for (unit 31 Nov 5) or return it for a refund/leftover. What a surprise the draw was this year, when I found out the draw was out, I looked up on my phone and saw that I was successful, knowing that I only put in for primo hunts I figured I drew a good tag.......kind of funny when I asked a friend what hunt number 1106 was ......I was dumbfounded when told a Nov 5 tag...... first I thought he was messing with me...... Redman

Thanks it was cool! No limit to one shark. Matt said it was up to us if we wanted to shoot the smaller sharks as they came in, he said sometimes the larger sharks hang back (by shooting the smaller sharks the big ones won't come in), we did not want to wait.... so any size of shark that came in was getting shot at. Looking back I would not have change a thing. It was pretty cool when a large sea lion came by the boat, it must have been the stupidest sea lion because it basically swan in our chum line, the larger shark tried to take a bite out of it....right in front of us, but the sea lion toyed with it, man those things can swim gracefully. We also saw a bunch of dolphins and some whales. It cost each of us $250 so the price was not bad at all for the action we got and time out at sea. Redman

There are a pair of 15 geovids on the SWFA sample list for $1600.....never looked through them, I love my Swaro's but I don't think this is much difference between the two (or Zeiss)/ Redman

I searched the G&F website, did not see anything, are there left over tags?

Not sure, but that sucks....good thing there are left overs in pretty darn good units....

What a dou*he bag

I read the article last night, great write up and congrats nice buck.

Thanks Gents....looking to pick up a deer tag I hope...

It was a blast for 3 of us....one person in our group got very, very sea sick "I pretty much feel worse that I ever have in my life" was a direct quote as he was leaving chum of his own off the side of the boat. Grilled fresh shark with pineapple taste sooo good!! Redman

My son shoots the Edge and has grown into it (he was 11 when he got it and now is 14) Its a good bow. I would say any Mathews bow is a good woman's bow

That's the best advice you could get. Shoot them all, get the one YOU!! like (not your buddy). Not sure if the carbon is worth the $$......

Paper tuning is a tool....it does not tell everything should it be thought as the end all (IMO). Walk back tuning is a good to do in addition with paper tuning. Have you tried backing down the poundage on your bow a bit? Cams timed? Are you getting flecthing contact anywhere, try lipstick on your flectching ? That is what I am thinking. How are you shooting? Do you broadheads hit with your field points?? Last suggestion would be to go to a quality archery shop and ask them to help....hang in there I wish I could help more. Redman

Nice! Thanks for sharing two down in 5 mins, can't beat that! Are you hooked now?

what did they cost?

The Strother look to be a good bow in the making....they have multiple bows in the 31-33 axle length. Elite Archery also has some sweet bows.... I would encourage one to shoot as many bows they can...its a big purchase make it count.

My Swaro 15's were knocked out of alignment last year on my deer hunt when my tripod blew over. They were repaired free of charge and returned within 10 days. Mine had more than alignment problem, the lens was scratched. Redman

Tripod adapter was the reason I selected the Swaros in the 15x. However, I have been looking for a 8x or 10x power and prefer the Zeiss over Swaros, I like that they have a transferable lifetime warranty and pretty much every review I have read on the 8 or 10 x favor Zeiss T FL and Lecia over Swaro. I have had to send my Swaro for service twice (my fault...falls)...they did not charge me a crazy amount each time (about $200) but still thats $200 when Zeiss, Lecia, Nikon, even crappy Pentax could have done for free.

quite is best...look at the Kipor if you want to save some $$ off the Honda...

Hey Wackycouesaddict, Keep doing what your doing and don't worry about what other people think. I will offer some advice and PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, but Google has a tool bar that has spell checker that checks your spelling for you as you type (when something is typed that is not spelled correctly it will underline it red. Right click on the red underlined word and it will offer a few words spelled correctly. Click on the word that was intended and it will change it for you). This will only help you (not just posting on the internet but improve your writing skills, which are so valuable in life). Also, keep in mind 90% of individuals on CWT have already been 17......some are a bit more grumpy than a 17 year old! Redman

That's awesome...I need to learn how to fish

This post makes a lot more sense considering the tragedy suffered by Ronald Ryan.....I went back an read through and wonder if the people who thought hunting in Mexico was no risk have changed their minds.... Redman

Looks like the advice given on CWT did some good (throw the tickets in the trash)....MAN I LOVE JAN BREWER..... She's got my vote! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100507/ap_on_...a_speed_cameras Redman

Lets see if I can help with your confusion...... it's a hunting website with a discussion forum. Within the discussion forum there are different topics that can be discussed..... Within your topic there is a political bias..... (it's a real big problem.....it will not fix immigration when it goes into law.....those are political statements... ) if you don't want to read political topics then don't open them and don't make political statements.... but the truth is any statement can be made political (just as I did)....
