I'm hunting the lower half and I have only seen Muleys, lots of them. Found a couple nice bucks but can't find a Coues. I dropped into Sycamore in Sunday and didn't even see a deer or elk. Do I keep glassing where I'm finding Muleys or move to plan C/D/E. Any input is appreciated. I've got a few days left to hunt.

Practically new, bought from cameraland. Comes with box and paperwork. Great, scope. Selling cause I got a smoking deal on a full size spotter. These are $699 new $590.00 Call text or pm Andy 602-881-0610

I prefer the compact over the full size if I am packing the spotter in my backpack. If hunting near a truck or ATV I don't mind the weight of the full size. Full size are better optically but cost much more and weigh 2x sometimes 3x more.

Good luck, walk soft and keep the wind at your nose.

I have this one too but don't like it as much as nimrod/crooked horn combo. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Horn-Hunter-Binocular-Case/1260831.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dbinocular%2Bcase%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=binocular+case&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

I would agree that out of the box they are stiff.

Got my first pair of Kenetreks this season. After going through Danners every other year I decided to bite the bullet. I'm bought the Hardscabbles and really like them. I only have about 50 miles on them so far but the seem great. If I remember right the Desert Guides are not waterproof which is why I went with the Hardscrabble which is also non-insulated.

Ya, heres a video

Which binos are you wearing around your neck? I use the nimrod with the crooked horn cover. I have had the one Amanda sells, the badlands and I prefer this setup. Been using 12x50 swaros with this setup and really like it. http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Crooked-Horn-Bino-Shields/productDetail/Binocular-Accessories/prod9999013165/cat100084http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Crooked-Horn-Bino-Shields/productDetail/Binocular-Accessories/prod9999013165/cat100084

This is what it's all about. Great write up and pics of the family.

I love it!!! CONGRATS LITTLE DUDE.

I cant make it but hopefully we can fill the room with sportsman. Please pass along. Folks, Tonight is the final public comment hearing on expansion of the Mexican wolf program and national gray wolf delisting. These new federal proposals mandate expansion of Mexican Wolves on the Arizona Strip, Northern Arizona, Northern New Mexico and Texas. It is vitally important for Sportsmen to attend tomorrow’s hearing. Here is more information on tomorrow’s hearing: Pinetop, Arizona What: Wolf Delisting Public Comment Hearing When: Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013; 6-8:30pm Where: Hon-Dah Conference Center, 777 Highway 260, Pinetop, AZ 85935 (3 miles outside of Pinetop at the Junction of Hwy 260 and Hwy 73); (928) 369–7625 Please wear camo, hunter orange or a cowboy hat to the hearing. Big Game Forever will have 100 orange hats available for the first 100 sportsmen at the hearing. Come by the table, say hello and pick up your hat. Registration for the hearing will occur from 3-6pm. An informational meeting will be held by USFWS from 3:30 to 5:30pm. The hearing itself will last from 6pm to 8:30pm. Verbal comments will be limited to 2 minutes per speaker. Speakers will be chosen at random from those who have registered. Written comments will be accepted and are treated equally with oral testimony. Please register to speak at the hearing. More registrants increase the number of folks who testify on the importance of protecting livestock, deer, elk and other wildlife. Your comments can be brief. Here are a few suggested talking points: (1) You support delisting and fulfilling longstanding commitments to restore state management of wolves; (2) Mention the city and state where you reside; (3) Discuss your interest in conservation of wild game and protection of livestock; (4) While we support the importance of Mexican wolf recovery, we are concerned about the lack of safeguards for wildlife and livestock in the American Southwest. (5) 90% of native Mexican wolf habitat resides in the country of Mexico, yet it appears that most of the burden for wolf-recovery will be placed on Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. This creates an unnatural burden on indigenous wildlife populations. (6) Unnatural wolf-population densities are unsustainable and present a threat to deer, elk and other native wildlife without balanced multi-species management. These protections are only available under state wildlife protections. (7) The ability of states to capture and return Mexican wolves to native ranges is important to protection of wildlife populations in Southern Utah, Southern Colorado, Northern New Mexico, Northern Arizona, Southern Nevada and portions of Texas. (8) You support the right of state’s to implement responsible wolf-management, to protect hunting, livestock, wild game and multiple-use. We also encourage everyone to take a few minutes and prepare short written comments. Feel free to borrow heavily from the talking points above for your written comment. Not only are these comments treated equally with oral testimony, but written comments ensure that your testimony will be included as testimony at the hearing. Consider including some personal information indicating why protection of livestock and conservation of wildlife is important to you as a resident of the Southwest. Personalizing your written makes a much greater impact than simply reciting the above talking points. Thank you for your efforts to protect the future of America's wildlife. -- Ryan Benson http://biggameforever.org/ ryandbenson@msn.com

Put it on your head. I have used mine for archery elk and pig using the head mount. Worked good. If I knew how to edit the pieces and make a little film I'd have a cool video.
