  1. That's me. Fully expect a 5:1 ratio on shots to birds. I've only limited once back when it was 10 birds.

    Looking for opinions on where to live in AZ

    Unless you work outside the summers aren't miserable anyway. Check out Tucson...my wife and I are both from smaller towns and we like it here. Has most city amenities (only thing we really don't have that I'd like are professional sports and major name concerts coming through...but we drive to Phoenix the few times we want that) Jut my opinion but Tucson has a much better feel than Phoenix and definitely doesn't have the traffic. Generally 5-10 degrees cooler with a nice breeze most of the time too.

    Vortex Viper 10x42 HD

    Nice price. Love mine.

    Mojave or Diamondback?

    Though now I see the white bands significantly larger...never knew that before I was going off the greenish coloring.

    Mojave or Diamondback?

    Ran over this one on my pronghorn hunt near Prescott...had assumed it was a Mojave and now not so sure.

    Exploding Trail Cams

    So was he rigging hunters' cameras to explode or setting out cameras as traps?

    Code Red Rip Cord rest issues

    I remember that as well...it's been a while but I think peeling it and regluing it is what fixed mine.

    I screwed up

    Of Mice and Men don't fit with MM and Slipknot...weird combo.

    Saw your camera

    Seems like a first-come, first-serve situation. If TJ is already there and the person comes in they should back out and leave the spot to TJ...and vice versa.

    Tikka 7-08 stainless and fluted (new) $650

    Weekend madness

    Didn't take any pics of my 9mm and .45 groups this weekend...not very tight but all center mass. Range therapy is good for the soul.

    Jimmy Johns

    what are we arguing about then? He killed a legal ram right? Are you saying they timed the release with the intention of jimmy John buying the tag and killing it, Or with the intention that the guy selling the tag would get rich, or both? How did it find the ewes and Rams it was running with overnight?All the usual jibber jabber when a rich guy kills a big animal...he paid a bunch of money and filled his tag his way. Obviously not the same way a lot of us hunt, but still a beautiful animal.

    Canyon Lake Flathead and Bluegill

    Nice catch for a blockhead.

    Free ammo!

    Yeah I cashed in on that too a couple years ago...had been wanting to try the Barnes TTSX and ended up really liking them. Good luck on the hunt! That should be an awesome trip.

    Viper 15x50's?

    This. I'd rather get what I can afford now and use it for a couple years while I save up for the upgrade.

    Viper 15x50's?

    All good points. I have the non-HD viper 15s now as a backup/loaner pair to Kaibabs. I used them for several years before upgrading. There is a noticeable difference in the 50 and 56 objective, but they still worked great. I didn't have great success without a tripod, but one of my buddies has used them on a shooting stick without issues. They're a lot better than the 8s you have for distance and a good step up until you can upgrade. I used the 15s on tripod and diamondback 10s around my neck for several years.

    Running boards, mud flaps and mud!!

    Mud flaps keep my steps clean...they were really bad before I got the flaps.

    Anyone been watching the Olympics?

    How'd you feel if during HS, when you played ball, the opposing team had a bunch of pros. You'd get your arse handed to you. Same principle. Not same principle...Olympics are about the best in the world. Pro or not. Being a pro doesn't give them any more talent and a lot of those athletes are training full time anyway...like a pro without the salary. I like it when "our" pros are competing for other countries...makes for some good competition.

    Travel Management Plan

    Like anything else involving ethics...you can never go wrong doing the right thing. Even if you don't agree with the rules. I'd bet the majority of folks you've seen don't know or don't care there's a TMP.

    Hedog Archery cam protector...never knew how much I needed one until I got it. Now I'll never have a bow without one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009DV7PNM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470633872&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hedog+cam+protector
