My dad! I make him put his boots and socks outside. He keeps saying "are they that bad they dont bother me"

Yes. I use the two tubes one for the spotter and one for the tripod no problem. Truth is I shove a bunch of other small stuff in there as well and the range finder fits perfectly on the belt in the net pockets. I wear this pack all the time unless I am going to pack in for a while and need something a little larger and a frame.

Great story and great gun! Congrats!

What a pain! I just left last night all the smoke came down the mountain last night and screwed up the bear hunting. Couldn't glass past about 500 yards and the smoke gave me a giant headache so I had to call it quits.

Now it needs to be nuked! Way to sound like a complete redneck recluse, "flatlanders" dumbest thing I hear when I am up on the Rim where I have property and pay taxes and contribute to the economy big time. As a matter of fact most of the people up north are happy to have as many visitors as possible to help out, it keeps the "out of business" signs out of the windows. I think the decent folks also call it manners to treat everyone like a welcome guest. Sorry I will get off my box now, this is one of those rare things that irritates me to no end. Shawn, you can also take an empty chest and then get dry ice in town from Safeway or another grocery store. Dry ice will freeze the meat hard as a rock overnight. When you get it home there will be no water and no mess. If this doesn't work PM me, I have a small garage freezer I could get you access to in Pinetop. Should be enough room for one elk if it is deboned, if you quarter it could be a little tight.

Southern Arizona, that was an easy one! More pics please!!!! people will always find something to complain about it gives them something to do. Thanks for sharing!

:lol: :lol: That is funny my dad is the same way he sleeps in a tent by himself most of the time about 50 yds from anyone else. It is a mystery of science how loud some people can snore it does not seem possible!

Good for you! I think most would have made them walk to town.

May get out a day or two this weekend on the Rim. I am going to hit 23S also but not until the 2nd week.

- Being late or not ready definitely top of the list. - Inability to follow directions or make a decision. Usually starts with "I Don't care what do you want to do?" . These words should be taboo in the field this is serious $#it dude if you dont have valuable input or a valid opinion then zip-it, listen, and follow directions. - Showing up with another person or their kid, :COME ON" lets plan a kids trip and a big boy trip and NEVER shall they mingle. - Acting like one of their spots is gov classified. Always ends up being a guy you helped take an animal or shared all your intel with. - Arguing or complaining, it's hunting it is the happiest time of the year don't bring down my vibe! I can go back to the estrogen mansion where it is my job to field complaints if I need to be irritable. - Last one, people who are only happy if THEY are successful... There are times when i have been just as excited or proud of helping someone else. Sorry its a long list, I hunt with a lot of interesting people.

Same for me...

I have one and it is ridiculous, we call it the Fred Flinstone car because you have to pedal it to speed up. I use it as a commuter because I have HOV lane plates which are worth more to me than the car. Return buyer for a hybrid is around 30% so they aren't nearly as successful as people are led to believe. A lot of good info on the list but I did catch a few that are skewed to make a point. The issue of less funding per student is not due to less funding but to a lot more students and the fact that anyone can get into college now. A few others like that where they are only telling part of the story.

Good info, thanks!

Great pic! I did something similar once going to sit under a tree but the thing took off when I sat down and I thought I was being attacked by Batman. So I get the whole "almost wet myself".

Get a ballistic app for your phone and input the different variable or go to the Vortex site where they have a very easy one to use that you can save/print profiles on. Coues Sniper is correct the drops are not that difficult to remember, the only thing that can be tough is the inclination (up or down) which is hard to measure without an ADI/ACI, range finder that calculates, or smart phone that calculates. The tough thing is going to be learning windage calculations which are much easier with a card. Generally for wind you memorize or print the variable at 10mph and then use fractions of this for actual conditions. 5 mph = 1/2x, 15mph = 1.5x, etc. I ran through the turret set up with 3 different rifles and I really believe it works really well out to 600-700yds. Temp and altitude were not a huge factor and temp drop offset elevation increase to a degree. about + or - 2k ft after that it can move a lot. I have said in other posts I use Shooter it is worth the $9.99, you can save profiles and email drop cards to yourself for printing. It also utilizes your phones inclinometer and other features if needed.

Good brief explanation! But i feel left out all of my scopes are in mils 1" ~ 0.3 mils @ 100

Awesome! I saw a Javalina with an obvious white stipe around him, more than just the color you could see it from a few hundred yards away. NEVER seen a deer with anything albino or otherwise.

That is great!

Open it in the backyard and spray it down inside and out with the hose, while your at it leave it out for a day so the sun takes any of the sheen off of it. The duck and goose hunting crowd wipe them down with mud so there is no glare, just food for thought. Before you put it away spray it down with a bottle of your favorite sent blocker product, probably not necessary but for another $5-$6 seems worth it to me. Runningbird had some really good suggestions. When I used to varmint hunt a lot I would walk through the cow pies to get the journey started.

Thanks for the review! Enjoy your turret it is impressive you were one click away at 1,000. I have had plenty of outings where even with a ballistic program, with atmosphere input, and a lot of other factors I was still off by more than that. By the way you can always use the turret for your go to load and switch it back for other load development and training, no harm there. Good luck this season!

beautiful mounts!

I have some in 190 left. Shoot me a PM, I am in Chandler.

Great pics again! Poor bear looks like he got his but kicked good or got rolled under a car.

Hit one driving down the interstate! I am a really bad turkey hunter so I would like to see some suggestions also. I only seem to find them when I am fishing or varmint hunting.

This is great advice! Just this year I have had batteries die no pics, SD card popped out (probably after I dropped it) no pics, branch in front of the sensor 820 pics of the wind! Ugg gas money alone could have bought me a few more cameras!
