OpticNerd replied to OpticNerd's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
Thanks guys. -
HOT DANG! That was AWESOME!
-
Great looking bucks. I really like the 2nd buck with the huge eyeguards. I'm a sucker for big ol eyeguards. Good luck tagging one. Might as well put a hurting on one of those cats between now and opening day.

Can't afford $5000 no problem. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1109977&gclid=CIOY_Z3r6tICFQx-fgod4bYAhw&Q=&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C%7Bcreative%7D%2C%7Bkeyword%7D&is=REG&A=details

For those who can't afford the Swarovski BTX
OpticNerd replied to OpticNerd's topic in Optics and tripods
I have an Olivon prism that I use with one of my telescopes and it's a quality piece of optic. If this binoviewer is of the same quality then I think it would work pretty dang good. I just checked and Olivon makes a 100mm ed spotting scope that I think could work extremely well with this. My biggest concern with this would be long term durability. Don't know if these binoviewers would stay aligned after a few rough hunting seasons. -
I too had a trip planned for this weekend but this dang cold front has got me thinking next weekend might be better. Might as well do both just in case.

Dang that's rough. I also agree about not forcing him to go. Taking him and maybe a friend out on a couple easy going scouting/camping trips might help get him in the mood. If he likes to fish and there fishing close by you can always turn it into a fishing hunting trip. My kids like to hunt for about an hour or two but can fish all day if the fish are biting. Good luck.

For those who can't afford the Swarovski BTX
OpticNerd replied to OpticNerd's topic in Optics and tripods
If I had vision in both eyes I'd be all over this. I wonder if it would work/come to focus with the 100 Pentax. Being that it accepts 1.25 inch eyepieces a guy could choose between hundreds of eyepiece choices. Heck I think I'll get one and see if I can find an eyepiece that will give me 15-20x on one side and 35-40x on the other. Then I could quickly switch back and forth between low and high power when ever I need. I could also use one side for glassing and the other to video through while I'm glassing. Yea buddy! -
Dang! You guys did good...really good.
-
Nice review. As Awesome as it may be it's just doesn't do anything special for a one eyed guy. You two eyed guys are lucky.
-
All this time I thought I would be wasting my time putting in for anything other than a 1st and 2nd choice. Next year I'm doing all 5. Going off the hunts I put in for it's mathematically impossible for me to draw anything but my first two choices that being said it IS possible for the GnF to screw up during that draw process and accidentally issue me a tag when technically I shouldn't get one. This isn't the first time I've heard the tale of the magical 3rd choice draw.

Hey standman how'd the fish look? From your pics they look to be in good shape but two of them in that last pic seem to have a weird pinkish color to them.
-
I can't imagine the G&F trying to pass a no hunting within 1/4 mile of a trailcam law. Too many what ifs. No cam within 1/4 mile of a water source is makes more sense. What negative effects are caused by hunting next to a trail cam?

Interesting. I too wish there was more options when it comes to switch power binos. The only good one I know about is the Leica one.
-
5 in a day is pretty good. I don't think I get 5 in a year. Love the eyeguard on the biggest one he looks pretty good either that or the guy holding it has really tiny hands. You see any rutting activity?
-
Dang that's a sweet buck! Love his rack but there's something about his coat and face that makes him look extra tough.
-
Nice! Check out those killer bases! Love burred up bucks.

Best Rifle Season (nov 25 to dec 4) units?
OpticNerd replied to reece_mess16's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
If your in the military I would seriously consider putting in for Ft. Hauchuca if I were you. Only problem is I'm pretty sure they don't allow you pack in overnight I could be wrong though. Great place to hunt even if you can't pack in.- 27 replies
