Docter Optics is officed in Mesa. Could call them. I don't know if they deal with the binos. http://www.docteroptics.com/company_locations_en.html Or call Doug at Camera Land. He might know. RR

Coues7, Is this the barrel off of your Remington SPS that shot moa? Are you going to rebarrel to 300RUM and bed it in that HS Stock you mentioned on the long range forum? Good price on the barrel with brake. Doug~RR

Here's a link to pics of a nice buck taken last year. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/s.../page/0#1233868

Looks like a good time was had by all, based on the smiles . I smell burritos and tamales for dinner. RR

CB&L, Nice buck. Hope you can keep track of him and he doesn't travel too far after the rut. Tough to tell about score . I'm guessing 97. Little weak in the thirds. Hope you find his sheds and get drawn next year and can ground check him after deflating his lungs with that new Montana. Doug~RR

Antlerfinder, Congrats on a great stalk! I'm sure you said a few prayers while you were crawling on your hands and knees. Looks like they were answered. And Welcome to CWT.com Doug~RR

Today, Jan 31, is the last day to shoot your buck for the contest. Feb 15 is the last day to send your pic and gross score to me, if you had entered and were successful. If you do not see your buck's picture posted above in this thread, please send it to me. dkoepsel (at) aol.com Doug~RR

The first leg of the ABA Triple Crown is this weekend at Usery Mountain. Should have some fliers there about shoots. http://www.arizonabowhunters.org/ Sunday shoots at Ben Avery should have info/fliers. Have you called Archery Headquarters?

In Scouts, I lead the "fast" group on a rim-to-rim-to-rim hike. I was given the name of Red Rabbit by the assistant scoutmaster afterwards. I have since slowed my pace and the red hair is more silver. Doug`RR

Deadeye Derek- Is this going to be on your next DVD? Congrats to the hunter on that awesome monster. Doug~RR

For those of you who entered the contest and were successful, remember to post you story and send your info and pic to RedRabbit.

Real nice archery buck. Congrats. What's the story and the secret to the success? Doug~RR

Mark, I think those coatis are cool. neat critter to display as a mount. Doug~RR

Carl, Nice tag team operation on those bucks. Welcome to CWT. Doug~RR

Thanks y'all. Survived the first 365 days on the backside of a slippery slope. Will have to celebrate with a Diet Coke..... Maybe I'll sneak in just one beer- don't know if it's wisdom or the gout. Doug

It will be interesting to hear how the Pentax DCF ED and Vortex's best stack up against the Minox HGs. Doug~RR

Tommy, Glad to hear of fruition for a person that worked diligently for his coues. Congrats. Smart thinking on the aiming low and anticipating his reaction. Thanks for taking us hunting with you through all your posts on the hunt. Doug~RR

Fresh snow does put a sweet frosting on the landscape. Must have been a peaceful morning near 4Peaks. RR

Jim, I have purchased some binos and a tripod through Doug at Camera Land. He is well thought of on other forums, like 24HourCampfire and MonsterMuleys. Can't go wrong IMO. Service has been prompt and he will take the time to talk with you about your needs. Doug~RR
