I cannot believe these haven't sold. I paid $1400 for mine, used and thouggt that was a pretty good deal

Look at the used zeiss 15's in the classifieds here. They are better glass than the non-HD swaros. Great price on them too.

I have had a bunch of ground blinds. Just bought a 5-hub from sportsmans guide for $65. I like it a lot better than the expensive ones i've had. My buddy even shot a buck out of it last weekend. Don't be afraid of the quality for the price. I was shocked how simple it sets up and really sturdy and light

Face paint. Face masks are a pain in the @$$ after a while.

That's awesome. Way to go dad

Pretty classless picture, not just the baby deer, but the arrow through the throat

Stihl and Husqvarna are like comparing fords and chevys. Stihl makes a great saw, some people might tell you otherwise because they like husky. If you are looking for a big, commercial grade saw you can really cut some wood with look no further than a stihl or husky

Ummmm. That buck looks like a giant? Am i the only one here?

If you got a good enough deal, possibly. Looks like it'll range 1000 yards or so. A rangefinder half that price would work better and be more practical for hunting.

Looks like it is a surveying range finder and cost about 1,700. Some of their other models look identical to the G7. Probably both made by the same company

Is that a coues or mule deer? Looks really big for a coues! Any other pics?

Take full advantage of youth hunts and the various youth hunter programs put on by different organizations. Put them in for the great youth deer and cow hunts that Arizona offers. Even if it takes a couple years for them to draw, having a great first hunting experience will get them hooked

IR cameras are pretty much undetectable. Hang them high off the ground. Always hang mine high and never lose any. I get a few pictures of people and they never notice them. Don't place them on water holes

This looks like a job for Str8Shot. Can't wait for his $.02

When your hunting buddy buys a new chair to sit in next to you in a blind and it makes more noise than Subway Jared will in prison. On opening morning of 2015 archery deer

your palm tree camo is pretty good but, that saguaro will only fool paul bunyon haha, yeah the saguaro's look pretty good. some look really good, so natural that most people have no idea they are a cell tower. we build a lot of the palms and pines. they are a real PIA. hate dealing with them and they do not fool anyone

My initial thoughts were the biggest goat i'v ever seen. After looking at a lot of pictures of it, it really isn't very heavy. Really weak bases. Still a GIANT by all means, but i think 90-92" is where it will end up. probably closer to the lower number. one of the prettier bucks i have ever seen though, i'm a sucker for prongs

i build cell phone towers for a living and i can tell you that Nutrioso is one of the worst black holes in the state for cell coverage. there is not one provider in that area. verizon or Cell One is your best bet in that area, but Cell One is a VERY small company that provides marginal at best coverage to some remote corners of the state (white mountains, Navajo Res). Alpine has great reception and I happen to know the guy that built the tower there . there are not many options at all to get coverage there and i REALLY doubt that any kind of signal amplifier will help in that particular area. amplifiers work pretty well when there is some signal or intermittent signal in an area, but there is basically zero trace of any kind of signal there. They help boost and "stabilize" the signal. the tower in Nutrioso is at the fire station and does not have any cell equipment on it. i can assure you of that. i have heard rumor that they are going to build a site there, but who knows. cell sites are all connected either by fiber or a hard line, or by microwaves. they all "talk" to each other.

that buck will beat your 75" goal. if his right prong matches his left, he might be quite a bit over that. really pretty buck

there area a lot of units open in december for OTC archery deer. those units suggested do not hold the best populations of deer in the units that are open for that hunt. is mule deer a must? Arizona offers coues deer in the same hunt and they are a lot more unique trophy because there are not many places in the world that you can hunt them. i have not spent a lot of time in either of the mentioned units, but know they are pretty tough units

only archery bull was at first light. two rifle bulls, one at first light, one at last light

that buck has a LOT of growing to do. i would be willing to bet money that he ends up over 100". looks like he's going to have 4 typical points on the left and a couple cheaters as well. good frame, great eyeguards.

i would venture to say that MANY of the top guides/outfitters were quietly excited about the SFW deal but opted to stay quiet about it as to not tarnish their reputation. Doyal Moss was a big supporter of the bill as well. Anyone know what outfit branched off of Mossback? hmmmm

most people on this forum's head's would spin if they knew who some of the people leading the charge for the SFW ordeal were

the best thing to do is make sure your blind is shaded very well. blind in direct sunlight=long day. being shady also conceals your movement a lot more
