Where the heck is this?
azshtr replied to 25-06's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
The title of the image says 34A so thats my guess -
I just picked up an ar15 for the same reason. Should be here this week. Flat top upper so I have the same decision to make.

Nat. Geo. Mapping software
azshtr replied to mattobertin's topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
I use it and like it. Easy to use, easy to add GPS waypoints and save the set for a hunt unit. You can also download the hunt units pre-outlined. Then take the preoutlined map and mark the waterholes and save the set for that unit. Upload into your GPS, print your maps, and your all set. It also self updates maps when available for the area you are looking at. Sometimes the roads are missing, or has roads which are closed. But thats the same with any mapping. Two thumbs up from me. -
AMAZING trail cam picture
azshtr replied to Coues Sniper's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
I could be wrong of course but my opinion as a professional photographer... It is possible to get a solid exposure and then ghosting (trees coming through the upper part of the deer) with a flash combined with a longer shutter speed. However I would expect to get the equal amount of blurred motion of the deer below the solid exposure. As this deer was coming down after the flash went off it would first expose solid as you see but then keep moving during the exposure... the result should be ghosting of trees on the upper part as you see since the deer moved down, but then also blurring of the deer an equal amount below the solid exposure. I don't buy it... Photoshop. -

I'm off to the showlow area... ye haw

I had an evening free and revisited an old area I used to hunt. I stopped hunting this area as I started seeing too many peeps in it. After 5 years I went back and found the road almost overgrown in places, extreemly washed out and very difficult to Jeep (lifted and locked very capable Jeep) into, no tire tracks... even quads.... it was AWESOME. The desert looked great and the water tanks full. A nice hike of a couple more miles and saw lots of deer. I sat water from about 4pm till sundown. About 5pm in comes and nice 3 point WT. Very cautious. He hit hit the far side of the tank and was 58 yards. Then he started around the tank towards me, 40 yards, 30 yards, no shot yet as he was angling to me but he was following a track that would have turned him away at 20 yards... then he stopped, stared right at me and spooked. I was well hidden, wind in my favor, etc. I think it was esp, or he heard my heart! I loved it! Epic trip out hunting. Back to my old area, I know where a nice buck is, saw lots of deer, no tire tracks... couldn't ask for more. EDIT: And I saw a gila monster!

I can hear the officer now... how did you get a tank in your tree stand?

Might be more common in deer near nuclear power plants.

And why is it wrong to invest? If he / she has the money god bless them. If we had that kind of money we would have those types of investments also. NObama sure jumped on that one quick with a negative ad... should have thought it through first however. I think it backfired a bit. -
I am in Queen Creek. I used go to archery HQ all the time when I was a kid but now they seem too dang busy every time I go in. Great for them they are good guys who know there stuff but bad for me the customer. Maybe I need to give them another shot. I have been to Bear mountain quite a bit and have had pretty fair service there but sometimes it seems like i am putting a burden on them by bringing them business?? It is best to hit them middle of the day in the week if possible. They do get hoppin on the weekends and after work.

Maybe thats who keeps messing with our game cameras. They don't like having their pictures taken.

Treat your binos just as you would a camera lens. First blow off the dust! Try not to use the compressed air type but rather a blow bulb or even just blow it off yourself. Then use cleaning fluid and tissues made for camera lenses. Binoc glass is the same a camera glass and what you need to protect (other than scratching) is the coatings. The wrong cleaner or abrasive can damage the coatings.

Cowards Caught on Camera!

Post it everywhere. Someone knows them. -
I don't see a lion but I see a bear you might have missed. it I put a circle around it to help everyone else see it. It looks like he is trying to tell you something:)

Archery Headquarters has always had them.

You can try Tempe Camera Repair, 480-966-6954. Joey is pretty good with all optics. I spoke to them about my Bausch and Lomb 10 x 50 Discoverers and they said they could work on them. I am trying to find new eye cups for mine. I sent one in to Bushnell but have not heard back yet. They are good binos to glass with and I'm trying to keep them in service.

My brother just saw some down around Patagonia last weekend. -
I shot a winn freeFlight for many years. Now I have a new bow and string loop. The Winn won't work and I'm trying different releases. I miss the Winn. Something will become my next sofa couch comfortable but i haven't found it yet. Then again I'm also working on getting the new mathews as comfortable as my old trusty split limb alpine... which took the place of my trusty High Country, Which took the place of my not so trusty Point Blank, which took the place of my trusty Hoyt. (still miss the hoyt, slow but accurate as all get out) I have till the end of summer... I'll get there. Tweaking a little here and there. Shoot, shoot, shoot more Anyone have a 28" or 28 1/2" cam for a Mathews Drenalyn RH? I have a 29.

New bumper sticker? GO JOE -
Years ago... about a dozen or so... we stopped at the Cafe on the right just as you turn on 260. The kids ordered a burger and coke. The lady said I don't think so you will have milk. Very much like the lunch lady at school would have done back in my day. I just chuckled at the kids who looked shell shocked as they said ok to milk. But the best part was they loved the milk. They never get whole milk at home. I told them it was good because it was mountain milk... always better in the mountains. To this day they laugh at "mountain milk" even though they are 18 and 20 year olds. They also didn't finish the burgers and waited till the lady was out of sight before they said come on dad lets leave now before she comes back and makes us finish our food. She scared the heck out of them in a fun way... and they loved the milk. Funny how some little thing can be a fun memory.

Not only is he doing a great job, he has the b***s to stand up to some big politicians. GO JOE. I also feel that our gov doesn't go far enough in how we deal with our hand outs. If you are in need of emergency care... not a cold... you should be able to get that care IF, and here is the catch, the country they come from also provide the same for our citizens in their country. In other words our policy should match the country the illegal/visitor is coming from. The financial drain and crime in this country has gone on long enough. I just went to Germany. Full body search... and I do mean full as in very friendly with the hands. Even the ladies. And no-one complained. At the airport, past customs, I was stopped by a police officer. He was very polite (spoke for a minute just to get a feel for me most likely) then he asked to see my papers. No reason to stop me. And I didn't mind. Its their country, its their security. In my opinion with todays world as it is... step it up and clean out the house. Joe's actions are still mild compared to other countries.
