Who else got excited when they saw a "News Alert" from Az Game and Fish yesterday? Great article about Brady Ellison, but I think G&F is messing with me!

The dinner was great! Best meal I have ever had at one of these dinners. Amanda, thank you for getting a table. My son and I had a great time. See you again next year.

The Landcruiser belongs to me, I let a friend's daughter use it for a couple of months. Her grandmother lives in there.

I have a pair of Drs I bought from the same company that is listing those. It is Eurooptics. Great company, great service. I have purchased lots of optics from them. They are legit. Try their web site, or call them direct. I have the 20-50x80 hds and love them. I looked into getting the kowas but i didnt like the angled eyepieces for glassing hillsides.

If things work out with the trip to Mesa, I will take it.

If its the magnum Im interested.

Will be there with 2 of my kids. Can't wait!

I saw some pics of a pair, look interesting. 3 to 4 lbs sounds light. The Kowas weigh around 14 lbs and the Docters about 10. I'd be interested to get an exact weight. And what year were they made?

I got hit for 200 last night. thats 4 youth tags for 6a! gonna have some happy boys

In reference to Firstcoues' comment, we have seen "spammers" and other unknowns post fraud or sketchy items. Being new isn't a crime, however a first post selling a high end item can look suspicious. It would help lower peoples radar if you had mentioned some current members or had them vouch for you. Just sayin. Good luck on selling your scope, it is a nice piece of equipment.

If it falls through, I will take it.

I thought I'd share something I've learned the hard way. Read the warranty with the optics you are considering buying very well. Optics with electronics in them do not carry the same warranty that the optics by themselves carry. Leica covers them for just 5 years altogether. I am pretty ticked off after having spent over 2k on a pair of Geovids 6 years ago. Mine are still working fine but I was going to send them in to Leica (who is now dead to me) for a tuneup. I knew about the electronic policy when I bought them but I figured I'd risk it because worst case scenario I'd have a really heavy but really clear pair of binos. Also if you do buy Leica, know that the warranty card must be sent in, or there is no warranty. Leica has lost a customer today. Swarovski isnt much better, their new EL Range has a 2 year electronic and a 10 year optic warranty. The same thing goes for rifle scopes with rangefinders or illuminated reticles. The other downside to the rangefinder combo is for right handed archery hunters. The button to use the range finder is on the left eyepiece. That isn't a deal breaker but it is pretty inconvenient. Rip Leica.

For 2500.00 you would think so.

Leica doesn't cover the optics after the 5 years is up. Leica has the Lifetime Passport Warranty on their other binos and spotting scopes if you buy them from a licensed dealer, which I did. I assumed the glass, since they are binos would be covered. I'm pretty sure I said I was ok with the electronic policy. It is their not covering the glass part that pissed me off. I never said "Don't buy Leica". This is a Buyer Information post. I just said I wont buy them anymore.

Buying a Ruger p89 shows poor judgment, right there is why 18yo shouldnt buy handguns. Sorry but I couldn't resist.

I learned something new today. I can go home now.

Swarovski EL Range With this SWAROVSKI OPTIK product, you purchased a high-quality product, which comes with a worldwide warranty of 10 years on the binoculars and 2 years on the electronics from the date of purchase according to the following terms and conditions by SWAROVSKI OPTIK:

I understand it to be 18yo to buy a long gun and 21yo to buy a handgun. If there is any doubt or confusion I err on the side of me not going to jail. Just sayin.

Just got raffle tickets, will pay Amanda either at the dinner or can send check. Dealers choice.

Count me in.

Ticket is on its way to the show, thank you Allen.

I cant attend tonights Banquet, free ticket is posted in the ADA discussion.

Thank you Allen, enjoy the evening.

I will not be able to attend the banquet tonight, we are having a family medical emergency. I have a ticket if someone wants it. It isnt at the Coueswhitetail table, but it is free to a good home. I live in the East Valley. Call me if you are interested. I just ask that you spend the outrageous amount of money I was planning on spending tonight to support the cause. Steve

Bump for a nice set of quads. I too know Lance, he is an honest guy that takes care of his gear.
