A relaxed shot is the goal. Be honest with yourself, if you are uncomfortable and stressing at the point of release that is likely your grouping problem. Let the bow do the work. Relax and let the shot happen.

A good friend of mine was killed by a "road hunter" (in NY), the guy took a shot at a buck in a field and missed the deer hitting my friend center chest as he sat in the treeline.... So Yeah, I have no love for "roadhunters"... A "hunter"running the roads, dirt or paved, looking to shoot game is NOT hunting, and is no better then poachers looking to take the easy way...IMHO MuleDeerArea33 I respect your efforts to continue hunting for your Dad, but your method is not only illegal, but very dangerous... My only issue with road hunters IS the safety issue. Especially with firearms. Road hunters happen onto a situation and are totally focused on the game at hand and are oblivious to anything else. BTW, road hunting has been perfected by Utah bow hunters. Those of you who've been there know what I'm talking about. lol

I'd say get a quality spotter. Tripod mounted 10x42's are very capable. A spotter (atmospheric conditions withstanding) will x-ray hillsides at long range, verify trophy quality, etc. Spotters take some getting used to and with practice it's not difficult to use one all day. Many times I've glassed areas with 15's then broke out the spotter and found bedded game that the bino's did not reveal. Magnification has it's place.

I believe those are white bass. Lake Pleasant I assume?

Hopefully the new generation will have more than 15mm eye relief.

I strongly recommend you send them to Swarovski. Other than OEM's there are only a handful of reliable bino repair facilities in the US. None in AZ that I am aware of.

I've not heard of a 60mm Swaro scope (that does not mean much). Could be the older ST or AT 80 which are gray in color. Great scopes which usually go for $800 +/-. HD go for a little more. You might consider getting a serial # and emailing Swarovski USA. Likely they'll get back to you within 24 hours. Good luck.

Well done! Congrats to all.

Probably ought to find a less frustrating way to scout.

Is it still the lady with the raspy voice?

Likely they'll be at the sheep society hunter orientation. You'll be hearing from the sheep society soon.

I recently acquired some used swaro binos. Contacted swaro USA prior to sale with serial # and received an answer within 24 hours. Definitely worth doing. Also verified year of manufacture, etc.

I've got a 03 6.0, in spite of all the bad press I've had good service to 150K. Suspect I've developed some injector issues and will be spending some coin soon. I'm curious, who is doing your work?

I agree. I drew in 2010 with 14 points. The current CC hit for a sheep tag on my account is for applicants with 12, 9 and 4 points going into this draw. Ya gotta believe!!!!!

Do you have any experience with the non fluorite version?

Anybody got experience with the fully multi-coated version? How much do you give up not coughing up the extra money to go with Flourite? I understand the CA issue but is the sweet spot comparable on the FMC version. Resolution? Thx

How many of you gun hunters got the huevos to admit you gut shot an animal but did not find the animal till it was rotten and took nothing but the horns?

Bitzenberger hands down.

Anybody get a hit on Fri/Sat? Seems like at the hits took place on Thursday all day and even late into the night. I wonder if it is over.

TMP has made many formerly accessible areas inaccessible. I can think of a number of areas where a mile pack out is now three. Woodcutters, ranchers, feds can/will drive anywhere they want. Don't see an issue with an elk hunter driving out to pick up a carcass. Deer, not so much.

Mine too. Don't know who (brother, girlfriend or myself) or where but I got a hit for $265!!!!!!

Is your dad a lefty?

Horrific. Tonight, I will pray for them all.

That place was a gold mine. Had all kinds of weird parts for about anything on two wheels. It may have been junk but not inexpensive. Too bad.

How bout a rem 700 BDL .270 win. like new but mid 70's vintage. Safe queen all the way. I'd keep the scope but let the base & rings go with it. $475
