    For those who can't afford the Swarovski BTX

    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.

    San Carlos Lake

    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.

    My son doesn't want to go Elk Hunting!!!

    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

    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!

    New Swarovski BTX

    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.

    Believe it or not

    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.

    Fair Chase in Arizona ...

    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?

    Leupold coming out with 15's

    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.

    Coues sheds form Saturday

    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?

    2017 buck, now the wait begins

    Dang that's a sweet buck! Love his rack but there's something about his coat and face that makes him look extra tough.

    Our best deadhead yet

    Nice! Check out those killer bases! Love burred up bucks.
  18. 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.

    Matched up

    WOW! That's a killer set man! Wonder if he's still out there just waiting to drop a bigger set.
  21. The bases on the bigger buck are pretty dang cool. I love burred up bucks. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

    Outstanding end of the year buck. Is he a 3x5?

    Youth hunters killed it this year.

    You ain't kidding when you say youth hunters are killing it. Those are some great bucks. Congrats kids!

    G&F voted: three calls are a thing of the past.

    I might have to start using money orders just incase.
