    36B Right Now

    If you ever wondered what thread is worse than a "huge buck down, pictures coming" thread, this is it. We need to know ASAP if you nailed him, and then ASAP after that we need pics. By the way, the ultimate way to tempt Murphy is to post a thread like this. I'm way too superstitious myself.
  3. Have you searched for any Toyota specific forums? 9 times out of 10 you can find the answer from someone else having the same problem and posting about it. A lot of times it's something that you can fix yourself and save some $. Google and YouTube have saved me a good chunk of change. Good luck.

    Stolen F250

    Don't waste your time or money. I thought it was pretty lame. 90% of the action in the movie was in the trailer. This is a Redbox movie.

    Family Antelope Taste Test Reviews

    I've always wondered about this because I've had antelope meat only once and it was horrible. It was from Wyoming. My dad shot it and did all of his own work. I know that he always gets the skin off right away and takes good care of his game. I'll definitely have to give it another try whenever I get the opportunity.

    Help with Binoc purchase

    http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/61108-new-leica-trinovid-8x42-10x42-binoculars-for-under-100000/?do=findComment&comment=599084 This is an absolute smoking deal right here!!!! Plus, I believe you would save on the tax and I've heard Doug at cameraland is awesome to do business with. These are the perfect binos for what you said you needed them for.

    Stolen F250

    That really sucks. Been there done that. My truck was stolen and torched by those kids that were lighting everything on fire in Mesa back in 2012. I've always had a squeaky clean driving record and my insurance rates shot through the roof. I hope they find your truck soon and with no damage.

    Verde or Vias? Which do you prefer?

    I don't personally own any Kuiu gear, but I've spent a lot of time drooling over it and I long ago decided that when I get some it will be verde. I think they're both good, I think you should just go with whichever look you like the most.

    Help with Binoc purchase

    Wow!!!! That's a steal if I ever saw one. Patience can be the key to finding the best deals. After spending a lot of time trying out different binos I found that I liked the new Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 a lot. After using the same Nikon Monarchs for the last 8 years I felt it was time to enter the world of premium binos. Due to my inexperience on eBay I watched a very nice used pair of the new Zeiss go for $670. I goofed big time on that one. There are some great deals on Amazon right now with some added incentives from Zeiss. They have upgraded their warranty. It is now lifetime and the first five years are no fault coverage. You can find a new pair for around $900 and these binos are awesome. http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/zeiss.pl?page=zeissconquesthd10x42

    Go Cubbies!!!

    I like Greinke for his competitiveness, but he's a Dodger and that overrides anything good about anybody. Either way, I think Arrieta is more deserving of the Cy Young award. How bad must it feel to win 98 games and be out after a one game playoff?!?!? Ouch for the Pirates.

    Nikon warranty work

    I am sending off a pair of Nikon binoculars today to have some repair work done. For those of you who have sent product repairs in to Nikon, I was wondering what kind of turnaround time they have. I realize that in the Fall is when they are going to be busiest, just curious to hear of other's experiences with them. I know I should have done this sooner, but just found the problem today. Thanks.

    Nikon warranty work

    Just as an update, Vortex sent me a brand new tripod. Awesome customer service. Nikon got the binos back to me in less than two weeks, but I'm not really happy with the work they did. They didn't address some of the issues I had with the binoculars.
  17. Honestly I asked for anyone interested not just myself. I know this member had 4 nice items for sale that Sold so little feedback gonna help his sale to me or others. Nobody ever wants to speak up and ask but I can handle the ridicule. avg Joe says Stephen b good to go and says his 12's are awesone! We lack the ability of verifying good and bad before sending cash and we have all Seen few had out of state dudes pop up on here that were not legit. Thanks Stephen b for being legit and a dang sure have good taste in optics. And sts45 your ridiculous. Hoghntr I didn't mean it as ridicule, just a friendly suggestion. Anybody who might be interested had the same ability to pm. Again, just a friendly suggestion. Another bump here. Good luck with the sale.
  18. Maybe just shoot them a pm and ask if they can provide a local reference. That way you avoid all of this. If they can't and you don't feel comfortable with the deal, you don't do it. Just an idea.

    Gotta brag, just a little

    It means the world to a kid, even high school age, to know that his father is proud of him. Brag away. I was very successful in AZ high school sports back in the late 90's and now my nine year old son is following that same pattern. I love it. I brag to everybody about my son Keep it up Nick!!!

    All loaded ready to go in the morning.

    Good luck! We're all looking forward to success pictures and story.

    No trash talk?

    Who would have thought that Oregon would get man handled the way they did by Utah on their home field?!

    atv's

    IMO buying a 2 wheel drive quad would be like buying a 2 wheel drive truck. It's a quad, why wouldn't you get 4 wheel drive?
  24. I finally got around to listening to this podcast. What an amazing story. I love that everything came together for you. You definitely deserved this buck. One question that I had as I listened: I believe you said the other two bucks were with your buck when you found him on the day that you got him. How did they factor into the stalk as far as having to avoid the extra noses and eyes?
