Nice write-up...sounds like you're hooked now!

Awesome buck...crazy character. Congrats!

I heard something about a guy named Cole in Tucson...some folk say he does pretty good work.

Maybe he was texting his wife because he wants one for Christmas....but yeah that's pretty disturbing. Hopefully nothing comes of it.

My attitude will change once my current dry spell ends, but for right now it's any antlered deer any time of year...I have plenty of buddies to help out on coues rifle if I get lucky in Jan.

Pretty crappy planning by AZGFD....how many places that sell tags will even be open on Jan 1 anyway?

Nice buck...and nothing wrong with being lucky like that!

Has always sounded like on of Marge Simpson's sisters to me...

Bought the 15x50 non-HD first...made the mistake of trying to carry them. A little heavy around the neck and couldn't freehand very well. Then added some cheaper 10x42 around my neck and now the 15x50 only on a tripod. Works well for me. If only buying one, then Sawbuck is right...consider the 12x50. One of my buddies has the 12x50 and uses them both freehand and on a support. Almost as good as the 15s as far as magnification, wider FOV and brighter.

Decent Verizon signal all around there...you'll probably be okay with ATT.

Bump for some nice glass...have had a pair for several years.

Dang...I completely missed the separate address and sent mine to the usual PO Box. Should always read the instructions...inexcusable.

I can't blame you on either count...heck it's just nice to have some company around the campfire in the evenings no matter where you are!

I'm in Tucson. I'll take it if something falls through with first buyer.

Thanks for sharing...always nice to see your pics!

Good luck! Looking forward to pics and stories and hearing about that cooler filling up!

I'd say your chances are pretty good. Any way your buddy or little brother could make it by there the Monday after the wedding? Or get someone to drop it in the mail for you? Congrats on the wedding...I remember how the weeks beforehand are, and I'm impressed you remembered leftovers. Heck I almost forgot about the mail-in deadline and I'm not getting married!

Congrats...awesome!

Awesome...thanks for your dedication and efforts. I'm sure this young man did have the experience and hunt of a lifetime.

Awesome...especially having your dad along. Congrats!

I honesty think that anymore the differences between the companies are negligible. Shoot them both and see which one feels best to you. I don't know anything about the Bear, but I know 2 guys who have the Brute and are both happy. I don't think I'd split hairs, just try them out and maybe more in the same price range and see what feels best and shoots best for you.

Nice finds! Hope you found the quail too.

Awesome! Congrats...well on the way to that goal!

That's pretty cool and a good recycling method for shredded paper. Sort of reminds me of the paper log roller my grandfather had...he used them in the furnace to get the coal going.

Congrats! Awesome...can't wait for my son to be old enough to draw a tag.
