I also have a pair of the Pentax, 12.5 x 50 SP and also have a pair of 15's Swaros.... and not to step on your toes... there is no comparison between the Swaro's and the Pentax. I cannot even look through my Pentax anymore. Great glass but when you get used to looking threw the Swaro's you will feel the same. After all, early morning and late at night is the "prime time" to find those deer moving. Get the Swaro's you will be happy. Redman

They can be hard to find at times, I ordered some though Eagle Optics. Redman

I will stop there (is it on the north or south side of 260?). Redman

I really like the new Bears, I figured that was about the only true line in your tale (which was great,in IMO this borad needs more humor). Redman

For sale, Badlands Hypervent. One year old, no rips or tears, all zipper work fine. Great pack, especially if you take a tri-pod. I am looking for something else. One good thing about Badlands is their warranty: The Legendary Badlands Unconditional Warranty "We don't care what happened, or whose fault it was, we will fix it for free forever. We could care less if you bought it at a garage sale or a gear swap, as long as it says Badlands on the pack it's covered. All we ask is that you use and abuse your pack as much as possible so we can learn how to make better products." $100.00 can meet in the Phoenix area.... Below is a link to the pack: http://www.badlandspacks.com/hypervent.php Redman

Sorry changed my mind, I am going to keep it..... Not for sale...anybody know how to delete a post?

Yeah right....comn on...something fishy about your story.....a Bear Instinct????? I call mularkey! Sweet buck. I'd take him any day. Redman

All I can say is WOW!! Congratulations. Redman

I was in 3C this weekend and saw similar numbers (minus the lion but add one feral cat and one bobcat). Best group of deer were 6 nice mule deer bucks running together. Did I mention I saw cattle everywhere...... I was trying to stalk the 6 bucks then a stampe of cattle began (crashing threw the down timber), I figured the deer blew out of the area and began walking......low and behold they were about 100 yds...the game was up. Going back on Friday... Redman

WOW, WOW, and WOW. Thanks for sharing the story and the pictures. That bull does have some great character. Congrats to the Mullins and the Dunn teams. Redman

The recent additions are very nice, plus the others look awesome. Looks like you got a very beautiful home. Redman

Casey, Was your gun in Texas? http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/pop...&ch=4226726 Redman

I am so jealous...and envy of his sucess...but man he is one heck of a hunter...... Redman

Good deal everybody (thanks for the replies), I am pumped. Nice bull RockyMtnOyster... I only hope to be that lucky. What sucks a bunch is I have to go to Miami FL Sat-Wed before the hunt (it is hurricane season...), plus I will not be able to shoot my bow. I am leaving first thing on Thursday though... Good luck on your hunts..Redman

Time is drawing near....just wondering who has a 3C archery bull tag. What dates are you planning (I have the whole hunt off) ? Ready for the hunt (I need a few things....a new freezer) ? I have been scouting multiple times and getting my game plan down. I also got a archery deer tag, so I will be up there opening and the following weekend (8/23 and 8/30). Redman

Being new myself, I went to youtube and searched, tons of good info, most importantly as Ultramag said, safety harness.... Redman

Wish I could help, today I climbed in my first tree-stand.... Redman

Just in case you go barrel hunting....barrel test of multiple broadheads, now I know why I shoot Wac'Ems (you never know when a trophy barrel will step in front of you).. if you are thinking of a broadhead maybe this will help. Redman

FYI If you have a bow tech, archery season is right around the corner...don't get hurt. http://www.bowtecharchery.com/blog/2008/08...limb-integrity/ Redman

The barrel was a little more rusted than those I encounter on the trail . Seems like the mechanicals got a bad wrap since none fared well. I have shot the slick trick three years ago, long before they were sold in stores. Sharp head great design, didn't fly as well as the Wacems from my old bow. I now have a stock of WacEms that makes it hard to try another head. Redman

IPOD gone, thanks easymoney! Redman

Greetings, I have a brand new IPOD Nano 4G, it has never been taken out of the package, I would like to trade for a climbing tree stand. I won this IPOD and it has been sitting around my house since April (I have an MP3 and don't need it). If interested let me know. Redman

Call the Game and Fish and get the answer straight from the horse's mouth....... Redman

Hey TAM, Thanks for the reply. I wonder if any software programs have the forest service roads named in thier program? Thanks again, Redman

Hi All, Can anybody please answer if the National Geographic program has the forest service roads listed? I am thinking of purchasing it, but I would like the roads numbers. Thanks Andy
