No, don't think so. That has already been addressed, thus someone had already decided that taking game from a vehicle is indeed unethical. Thus, it is already illegal. It doesn't matter whether it is a bow or a gun. It's apparent quite a few here are not up to snuff on the current regulations. See below. -TONY A.R.S. 17-301 Times when wildlife may be taken; exceptions; methods of taking A. A person may take wildlife, except aquatic wildlife, only during daylight hours unless otherwise prescribed by the commission. A person shall not take any species of wildlife by the aid or with the use of a jacklight, other artificial light, or illegal device, except as provided by the commission. B. A person shall not take wildlife, except aquatic wildlife, or discharge a firearm or shoot any other device from a motor vehicle, including an automobile, aircraft, train or powerboat, or from a sailboat, boat under sail, or a floating object towed by powerboat or sailboat except as expressly permitted by the commission. No person may knowingly discharge any firearm or shoot any other device upon, from, across or into a road or railway. Plus, when a shot is fired from a vehicle and your not ready, your ears will ring for days.....my father in-law did that at a mule deer and scared the bejivesas of me, I was looking at the buck in my binos and BOOM!... he has a disabled hunter permit....COPD..<10% lung capacity. I wished he would of hit the deer... Redman

Thanks for the info CnS and Mike, CnS what did the 2 6v run? Thanks Andy

I will give it away for 175 if anyone wants it. i wat some els. Need the cashola. sent you a pm! Redman

Mike, What do you recommend to keep a battery charged while in the field? Do the solar panels work? I have a pop up with one battery, after running the lights and heater for two days, the battery is dead (its a new battery). I am torn between changing to two 6v or adding a solor panel (which seems much easier). I have a generator, but its noisy and I would prefer not to run it to charge the battery. Thanks in advance...if you ever need laboratory testing info.... I'm your man. Thanks Andy

I agree, I like to think of myself as once a "hobby" hunter with a bow. All I knew was, once the rifle season was over, I wanted to hunt some more, I bought a used bow (which was the wrong draw length, bought the cheapest broadheads, shot it maybe a week before going hunting etc...), now after 7 years, two new bows, and after a few animals taken with a bow, I know what I am going to put in for..... see you all in January....the only thing I regret is not being able to take my son hunting with a bow so he to can learn while also being able to hunt with a rifle. But please answer me this one thing, when are all the unit going to a draw??? Does anybody know? Redman

MAN YOU LOOK WORN OUT!!! But in better shape than the deer hunting in August is brutal..... great job. I bet your feeling better today! REdman

What a great deer, congrads. Redman

They are definitely noticiably brighter and steadier like shortpants said. Do any of you know if Swaros has some financing deal where you somehow get the binos up front and pay like $100 a month and interest free for a year. Or something like that. Maybe it's just for people who sale them. An old gift bar manager was telling me something about it yesterday and he wasn't exactly sure either. You kow downthebarrel? bearbasin.com 90 days 0% finance. Redman

Saw a decent set at Harborfreight pretty cheap... Redman

yes No bonus points are for the draw only. Redman

Anybody know of a landowner tag for sale in unit 23 (mule deer)? Long story short a friend and I put in on the same app he got drawn I did not..... I was not drawn due to non-payment (I was on his credit card but I guess we did not check a box to aurthorize my charge)... I'd like to see how much one is... Thanks Redman

Isn't an XT made by Mathews? That would explain it Just had to throw that in, you know if somebody wrote the same post about a PSE bow, there would be at least 5 replies with the same smart as* remark. Sounds like contact from your fletching on your rest or cable slide? Redman

Thanks everybody, seems like I will be the camp cook.... Redman

If your thinking of a new pair of glasses, this is my testimonial for Swarovski!!! During my son's javelina hunt, I fell and really smacked my 15x56's on a rock. I should have taken pictures to show, but as a result, the glasses would not focus, the eye cups were torn, the rubber housing was scratched, and one objective got scratched. I called Swarovski and was told the repair for the objective would be $75.00 and the rest would be taken care of. I sent them in and in about 5 weeks they came back. I just cannot believe how great they look, they are like a brand new pair. Two objectives were replaced (when I only asked for one), the rubber housing, and the eye cups. The only other experience I had with a bino repair was from Pentax. All I can say is I will never buy anything from Pentax again..... i sent a pair of their the top of the line SP's back and got a bill for $250, and all they did was clean and align (the foucus noob wouldn't hold). As we all know, spending 2k on a pair of binos in a huge investment. I could not be happier with the service I have received from Swarovski!! Redman

Thanks for everybody's help.... it is appreciated. Redman

Greetings, I have not e-scouted in a long time, but since there are so few bear tags in unit 33 I doubt anybody will be giving up a honey hole (no pun intended). I have only seen one bear in the wild. I am looking for a little help. A friend has a archery bear tag in 33 that runs for a while. Can anybody offer any advice? Redman

Nothing for me. The grapes are not too sour... I will be hunting elk in the fall regardless... Redman

First comfrimed Discover card was charged today... but it was not mine . At least some cards are still posting charges. Redman

For all you lucky people who got charges, do you mind sharing what type of cards were charged (no credit card numbers please ) Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, etc. True credit cards or Visa debit cards? p.s. I put in with Discover and when I check my recent activity the following type of message appears. "please allow 5-7 days for recent transactions to appear" Thanks Redman (still holding out hope)

So far no Discover Card...... still hope for me. Redman

One solution may be to determine quality hunts and prevent people from putting in for 5 years after being drawn for only these hunts, then one could put in for the "non-quality" hunts or cow tags. Or allow bounus points to still be purchased during the 5 year waiting period. Then the G&F don't lose the $7.50. Redman

Has anybody got a hit with a Discover card? Redman

I’m only 10 years old and I went hunting for a pig. I hunted between February 23, 2007 and March 1, 2007. Its nothing like deer hunting. I thought it was going to be easy hunting but it wasn’t. In case you were wondering, I had rodeo break on the 23rd. It was fun until the 25th. My dad, I ,and others camped for 3 days and did not see a pig. I had school the next day. In the week I had school I went hunting on Tuesday and Thursday after school. On Tuesday, I saw a pack of pigs, shot 3 times but I didn’t hit one. Thursday was my lucky day!!! I believe I saw the same pack from Tuesday. I shot twice but the pigs ran over the hill. I followed them over the hill. My dad was looking on the next hill so I looked on the bottom of the hill… “Dad! They’re down there!” I got my gun and aimed at a big pig I shot it twice!! I hit it in the brains and the intestines. That was the best hunt I had in my two hunts! Redman Jr.

I would think Zeiss would cover them under warranty and there should be a repair facility in the US. I just shipped my swaros back to Rhode Island, cost was $38 for shipping and insurance. Redman

I may not be of much help since I never had the Zeiss, but here is my story. This year I purchased the 15x56's swaros. I had the Pentax 12.5 x 50 SP ($800 pair of glasses) there is no comparison between the two. The swaros are absolutely great. I have the crooked horn bino carrier and they don't bother me at all (weight). I actually love bow-hunting with them, because I flip my bow over and rest them on my cam and they are really steady. I have a tripod and the adaptor was free and I can glass for much longer periods of time. The last day of my son's pig hunt, I busted my butt, and smacked my glasses as hard as one could imagine on a rock. Now they are cocked eyed and I scratched a lens. I called swaros and I am sending them in tomorrow. I was told a new glass piece would be $75.00 and they will send them back to me in 4 weeks. I can live with that. FYI some places offer 4 payments at 0% interest on glasses. Redman
