Holy Moley! that is a nice buck. Congarts Cole you the MAN! Redman

Lets just say the odds of drawing that unit is better than others. I would pack up right now and go out there again (or any coues unit)! even if I was issued a tag that expires 3 hours after sun up! Not matter where, when or the conditions, there is nothing better than being on a hillside when the sun comes up! Redman

Couldnt't has said it better! I'll take any unit/hunt over nothing! Redman

My father in law suffers from COPD and has a CHAMP permit, his physician certified his disability. We will be road hunting tomorrow and hopefully Tuesday and/or Wednesday (he has a hard time going in consecutive days) It would be great for him to get a shot at a deer during this stage of his life, harvesting one would be awesome. If he wounds a deer, another hunter (me) can go finish the job (meaning track and shoot the deer). Bill I would encourage you to pick up the application from the game and fish and discuss with your physician if you have a hard time catching your breath. So for those of you who see a couple of hunters riding quads tomorrow stopping and glassing from the quads and hopefully shooting from a quad, wish us luck. This could be his last year to hunt.

Biologist still differ on what to call the mule deer. Some still call it a black tail. I think its funny tht New Mexico uses yellow on their license plate Redman

One can buy a nice scalpel handle and 50-100 blades on Ebay for less than $20.00 Redman

That is a terrible idea and holds no merit. Hunting situations are TOTALLY different than shooting a pie at 40 yds, now maybe if the game and fish should require a archery safety and ethics course (on-line or in person) my opinion would be different. Its funny people brag about a 350-500 yds shot with a rifle and few seem to mind. I would bet more animals are lost during rifle season that archery season. Redman

My surgeon scalpel handle with replaceable blades, you will NOT find a sharper knife. Redman

Last year, the militias were out in force, these guys should go to Iraq, not deer hunting. 4-6 guys in the back of a truck, some are standing while others are sitting in chairs driving on any thing that resembles a road. This year it should be fun with the high grass, somebody may get run over. Redman

Luckily the lows are getting down enough so when one is walking in the dark the snakes should not be able to move, now in the middle of the day, the snakes should be able to move, but at least we can see them. Redman

Some of those tests are pretty lame, adaptability and dynamic efficiency? About the only two that matter to me is noise and vibration. Shoot a few bows, buy the one you like. Its that simple. All are nice. I was glad to see that some of the $399 bows stacked up against the $799 bows. Redman

Not that I expect a mature buck, but where are you located? Can the cape be frozen? Redman

I went with the 15 x 56's swaros. Thanks for all the help. Redman

Greetings, I been comptemplating a new pair of glasses. I cannot make up my mind. . I currently own a pair of Pentax 12.5 x 50 SP they are nice, but have a glare that bothers me. Obviously this will not be an easy investment but it should be my last on glasses. I have narrowed my decision to the following: Swarovski 10x42 EL and Leica 12x50 Ultravid now I need to settle on one. Has anybody owned both or looked through both at the same setting at the same object? Has anybody dealt with a repair from Swarovski or Leica, how where you treated? Redman

This decision keeps getting more and more confusing. I examined the swaros. lecia, and zeiss at SW and concluded that the swaros are a better fit for my eyes, but there where no 12x50 ultras to evaluate. I used the 10x15x50 duviods and felt the swaros were a bit nicer, plus less expensive. I like the 15x56's but on archery hunts they may be to big the 10x42 will be small to glass extensively with. Redman

Your absolutely right, beware of on-line stores. There is a lesson to be learned here, if the deal seems too good, then it is probably too good. Like Diamondbackaz said hotbuy is a grey market dealer. I called them and asked about their products and to their credit when I asked about warranty they said to get the USA warranty the price will be higher, they even state this on their website. Many of the optics companies dictate the price...that is why you always see Swaro's at the same minimum price. Now some companies may sweeten the deal by throwing in items like cleaning kits or tripod adapters etc but the price will still be the same. I feel bad for your friend, hopefully he do something with the item he did not want. Redman

I have had Danner, Rocky, Orvis, Redhead, and numourous off brands. They all pretty much fall apart after one season. The Danners are nice since they have a one year warranty. I know I will be using it later after the season. Redman

That is the model I will choose for Lecia. I can get a pair from the Demo List offered by Cameraland for less than 10x42 Swaros. Thanks for the info. Redman

They better, because their marketing machine has been quite for some time, no radical new designs, etc. The Mach x and the Velocity are the best on the market now. Redman

WB = 2-3 less feet per second over a fall away. Not much. All rests have the limitations. Rip Cord= more moving parts = greater chance or error. Andy

Cool, I would suggest keeping quite and transfer the dog once you can. I wouldn't want the owner POS to have second thoughts and want to get the dog back. Scout now will have a better home. Redman

Don't have one, thought about getting one....never hunted from one. Be curious on what you settle on. Redman

Since this event, it has been determined that the bull must be put to sleep. The game and fish just called and gave me the tag.....

100% deet no problems. Spray it on your shirt, face, and ears and there will be no bugs at all. Redman

I leave them as i find them, unless there is a sign on the gate that says to always close. Redman
