I wouldn't be overly concerned about the weight since you will probably have them on a tripod 95% of the time when you are looking through them.

No need to shoot 70 pounds. The need for speed is alive and well in archery and in firearms. If you can consistently shoot a 4" group to 30 yards you'll do fine. When the group starts to open up, thats you limit. So , stop for that session. Go out and spot and stalk some jack rabbits.

That sounds like a heck of an idea. The last time I had some it was cooked in a 35 gallon drum with a bunch of chili's. Young females definitely taste better.

Is that a sea trout in your avatar? Holy smokes Red Fish. A Sea Trout (Speckled Trout) that big would put me in the Class of Lerner, Hemingway and Grey. The particular fish took a soft plastic in about a foot or two of water in the marsh near Galliano Louisiana. We tangled for close to half an hour before it surface and my brother tailed it into his boat. I released it to fight another day. We didn't have a scale so I don't know how much it weighed.

SOS not matter what unit you're in WW. USFS closes down roads, people biatch. Best put as much acreage between you and the road as you can. Best advice I can offer is to stay put next weekend, it'll be a ZOO.

Interstate's are great. I bought the Die Hard's because they are AGM and had the most CCA in the Group 65. Sears in the East Valley worked with me on the price and saved me maybe another $45. They probably weighed a good 10 pound more that the Wal-Mart one's I replaced which were going on three years old.

I have Humana at work, very small company with about a dozen employees. I got an email last evening saying we will still have Humana available but from the wording in the email it sounded like there will be a price increase (they will meet with each of us individually)and also said we will have this option to shop for our own insurance. https://www.healthcare.gov/marketplace/individual/?gclid=CPSrgsTKlrkCFU5xQgodlDoAvQ

I rather hunt Caribou over the next few weeks rather that in Oct. Most places are already hitting freezing temps at nigh and the bugs will be almost nill in another week. Definitely join the forum and ask plenty of questions. There are a lot of good people on here to help you out. http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/forumdisplay.php/2-Alaska-Hunting

I think I'll go out today and buy one of these eve though I just put some new Platinum Die Hard's at over $400 in a month or so ago. http://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PSJ-1812-ProSeries-Starter-Portable/dp/B002J8LMVC/ref=sr_1_6/183-5114759-8533902?ie=UTF8&qid=1377362641&sr=8-6&keywords=battery+jump+box

You know you're not too far from PSE in Tucson and they are just a few blocks off the freeway. Maybe they can help you out.

So does this mean you changing your screen name to Apache0mm? LOL

I have not read of any accuracy problems with the 770 and did some digging around on them last week when my BIL decided to get into hunting and asked me about them. After researching entry level rifles I recommended he get a Marlin XL7 and put the savings into a decent scope. He hasn't taken the plunge yet but he saw a Savage 116 combo that had a 3x9 Nikon BDC scope for $599 at Cabelas at the Grand Opening in Denver so I told him that would also be a good choice as Savage Rifles are known for great out of the box accuracy. It was available in 30.06, 7mm Rem Mag and 300 Win Mag and is also stainless which would be good for the Elk Hunt we are planning next year in Colorado.

What kind of groups are you getting at 100 yards? What caliber are you shootin? Tell us about your scope. What kind of rest are you shooting from?

Please don't waste your money on these. Several good options in the $350-$700 range that have been recommended will work great. I saw a pair of monarch 12X56's on ebay the other day for $400. Good luck. Yeah, I ment that as a joke. I can't imagine anyone carrying around 10# Binos.

They are also trying to ban Bobcat hunting.

When you do look into using Lapua brass for rifle cartridges.

kidso, I have a Brinkman you are welcome to use ( I live in the East Valley) but I have only smoked Trout, Chicken and Pork Ribs and Roasts. What I have found is the best Charcoal is the bags of mesquite chunks from Mexico called El Diablo. I use a chimney starter with packing paper and a bit of charcoal fluid to get it started and it is ready in under 15 minutes. I also have some mesquite wood for some added smoke but this charcoal adds a really mellow flavor to it throughout the whole process. With the larger pieces of charcoal in there it is pretty easy to maintain a consistent 200-250 dgF for a few hours. I buy it in the 40# bags at Food City and have found it is the best. Some pieces are pretty big 12" long x 3-4" in diameter and need to be chopped down but they are actual pieces of mesquite branches. One thing I learned was if I used regular charcoal and kept putting woods chips that I had soaked to keep the smoke going throughout the process the smoke made whatever I was cooking have a bitter taste probably from the Tannins. From what I have read is the actual smoke should be kept to the first half hour or so as after that the meat has started to cook and will not absorb any more smoke flavor.

With the cooler weather and forecasted rain this weekend I suspect the White Wings will start heading south in greater numbers, as is usually the case it seems every year.

Look like WT to me right down to the tail and antlers.

Calling around is a whole lot quicker than driving around looking for it.

No droppings to be found?

Is the vegetation green? I wouldn't count on there being water three weeks from now and if there isn't any sign in those areas you need to find another area to set up your blind.

You been talking with the Nuge?

I think that the Rut will be in full swing by the 10th and we are going to have an early winter. My nephews wife said the leaves are beginning to turn yellow on a few of her trees up in central Colorado.

Found these. http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=9326&utm_source=channeladvisor&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=Channel%2Badvisor&CA_6C15C=129596704
