I want it but can't get there soon enough, thanks anyway!

I really enjoyed it too.

Real nice! Looks like a great little buck and he left them both in the same spot for you a few years ago.

Similar here, but my 2 year old hooked and landed her first crappie. We win every Sunday. Congrats to your daughter!

Brings me back to a couple of my favorite history projects growing up as an Arizona native and ties right back around to what I love today, and the site. 👌

I know very little about the market but I am so intrigued by what is happening.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk here and the app is interesting. My directionally-challenged wife would love this. That said, I don't know that anything could be better than UTMs in the field. Share them as screenshot or text when you can or over radio when you can't. All GPS units and cell phone apps can utilize them and a good map has them referenced around the extent. The location is discrete and it actually means something, like how many meters away are your coordinates from mine and in what direction. I'm not sure I want to lean on telling my hunting partners to go back to cell service and find out where flourite.cornbagger.naturegirl is to navigate across a canyon using a separate app's idea of how to get there.

Are coordinates that tough to figure out?

Affirmative, brand new in 2020. I've been thinking about taking my 10s and 15s to 12s and a spotter and thought to try, without losing Meopta or value.

Trade for Meopta Meostar 15's and cash?

Quite the huntress Tessa is. Congratulations to you both!

Best Vortex scope for the $ IMO. Nice, fine crosshairs and clear glass.

And I'm not talking about the current state of the nation. I knew the odds of me drawing a sheep tag were slim to none, but it happened in 2019. The odds of what happened on my deer hunt this past weekend however, had to be far slimmer and certainly unbelievable without proof. Whether the destination of the day or the particular part of a ridge or canyon, I have told myself a hundred times "that is where you're going to find a lion." With an abundance of hunting pressure on opening day of the third coues hunt in the unit, I went 2.5 miles to the deepest and darkest canyon available from my hunt party's area before sunrise on Saturday. The drainage of the canyon was surprisingly void of deer at first light, so my partner and I kept on the last several hundred yards up a shale face that crested into one of the steepest and biggest Google Earth tricks that I've ever played on myself. I immediately thought, "crap it is going to be tough to find a buck in here, but this HAS to be lion country." One tucked in doe and 5 minutes later, and I had finally found what I'd been dreaming of every day on the mountain for the last 18 years. There sunning sideways on a large boulder along a steep draw, stretched out my first glassed lion with no idea we had slipped into its lair. Unbelievable. The excitement nearly doubled when my rangefinder read a number starting with one of a few magical digits, 4. With the state of cat and a series of boulders and rock faces to navigate through, I closed the number to 400 yards even and set up prone. I waited for an hour and a half as it roll occasionally from side to side. I tried to guess how everything would play out including when, how and for how long it would get up for a stretch, but I was in no mans land. I knew nothing first hand about their daytime behavior and came to the conclusion it could be hours before anything changed. With a solid rest, no kittens joining the party and a forecast of high winds picking up well before noon, it was time to put all the load and range work to use. Timed to a break in the early morning gusts, 2 quick reports and a cloud of dust rising from the rock pile beneath is all that could be seen. For the first time ever, the deer tag in my pocket didn't matter anymore. We found 3 kills all within a few hundred yards. Upon arrival, I feared the lion had crawled its way into a hole that I was going to have to dig out similar to several javelina over the years. But luck continued on my side. My first lion, a 2-3 year-old female. Another first was my young cousin's buck on Friday, his first day ever hunting. Obvious first timer with his headlamp still on his head at noon. I hadn't noticed all day or when taking the photos either! Haha. It was also my first weekend with a new pack and I couldn't have carried the lion out like I did for camp to appreciate without it. A buck on Friday and a 80-90 pound lion on Saturday - what a way to break it in. The Savage LWH has also taken a sheep, coues and lion all within the last year with the 6.5 ELD-X doing its job 3/3, dead right there. And the most unbelievable part? After 18 years behind binoculars across the state with zero lions spotted, a second lion on Sunday after creeping into just 380 yards. It didn't have a care in the world, like it knew none of us had another tag in our pocket. We watched it along with deer a couple hundred yards to both sides for an hour before we let it lay and moved along. I've always heard "anything can happen" when it comes to hunting, and after the last 2 years, it isn't so unbelievable anymore.

I too have an outstanding order with Optics Planet going on 5 months that was listed as in stock. I will not order from OP again and I suggest the same to everyone else.
