I felt it for a few seconds.

Wow!!! Very cool sighting. BTW, did you find the dropped side of that mule deer buck??

I was afraid this was going to happen. I have a big family reunion that weekend. Maybe I can sneak away for a little bit and stop by I highly recommend this to anybody who is considering going. I took my kids (ages 5 and 3) last year and we all had a great time.

hahahahaha Not sure I prank a guy like that while he's carrying his rifle Good thing he is a good sport.

I love my 4-10 schedule. 3 day weekend every week!!! Works out great for hunting.

BTW, just got my bow back yesterday from Archery Headquarters with new WC string and cable and Trophy Taker drop away rest Come on people hurry up!!!!

Don't any of you guys have jobs?????? Keep yourself busy with something that doesn't involve a phone or computer and quit driving yourselves nuts. I have not and will not call until I know for sure that they are really out. I'll probably get a text from one of my friends letting me know.

It was nice to meet you Dave. Good luck in the draw. Daryl

You should have posted this a week ago. I just bought one brand new from Sportsmans Warehouse.

I would go with the Vortex for a few reasons: 1.) I have looked at both side by side in the field and the Vortex are way more comfortable to look through. This varies person to person and may not be the case for you. 2.) Vortex warranty is better, hands down. Some people may argue this but my dad had problems dealing with Swaro for his 15's and even got some not so friendly email responses from them when he questioned their customer service. Some members on here have had completely different experiences with swaro customer service where they have gone above and beyond and will swear by them. 3.) You have said that you have money for either one so that's not an issue. You could buy the Vortex and then you have money left over to spend on other gear 4.) I found almost no difference when looking at both side by side in the field. There are some great reviews on this and other sites from people with much more experience and knowledge than me,. Maybe Doug will post the links to those when he sees this. I am not computer savvy enough to find them

At least he didn't make a post titled "Draw results are out!!!!" I wonder who the first "funny guy" is gonna be to get that one going.

That is hilarious!!! "They didn't have guns back then"

Bat has found a new home. It was nice to meet you Arthur. Good luck in the upcoming draw.

I just bought a new Miken Freak last Tuesday 2-17 at Sport Chalet in Queen Creek and found out tonight it's illegal for city of Mesa league play. It's the original and has a great sweet spot and it's not even broken in yet. It saw about 20 at bats before the ref for our second game looked it over and told me it's illegal in our league. It only saw game action, never hit at the cages. This will make a great bat for anybody that plays in any of the valley leagues that don't have bat restrictions. I'm giving CWT members first crack before I put it up on Craigslist. I won't be able to get pictures up or emailed to anybody until probably Thursday afternoon. The bat is still shiny and I even have the receipt. I paid $230 plus tax and I would like to get $200 for it. pm me if you're interested and I will respond as soon as I can. Thanks, Daryl

Here are a few pics from my cell phone. BTW, it's 34 in. 26 oz.

I talked to my dad last night about his trip to Roosevelt yesterday. They didn't kill it as far as numbers go, but out of the 7 bass they caught all were slot or bigger and the fish were FAT. Big fish of the day went to my cousin who caught a 4 pound smallmouth!!!! I'll post that pic as soon as I get it.

Great Pictures!!! Also cool that you have a facebook for TLO. I became a fan

Zach, a huge congratulations to you!!! I really enjoyed reading your story. You did a great job on the write up. I hunted quite a few years before I killed my first and he was way smaller than that. Keep up the hard work and you will fill many more tags in the upcoming years.

AWESOME!!!! Hands down the best sticker picture ever. Come home safe Jeff.

I hope you still have it next weekend. If you do I'll take it off your hands.

My hat's off to your dad. A spot and stalk coues with a bow is a huge accomplishment. That is at the top of the list of my current hunting goals. How much better that you got to share in the moment with him?!?!?!

That is way to cool!! You guys/gals make it look easy.

Congratulations!! That's a great buck, not to mention first with a bow. He will look great on the wall.
