I had similar results with the tsx. Will never use barnes again. -

MRE bombs...great way to empty out a navy corpsman tent in the middle of the night...except they thought it was real gas and called in a medivac..got in a little trouble for that one. -
Didnt the Broncos go to the playoffs and win the first rd with Tebow as QB?

I am the best hunter on earth. Just bein honest

Cause i will admit the swaro 12x50 are the baddest binos ever. Now that i have looked through them i cannot be happy with any other bino

Dont know either... but funny how much the nfl/media hated him but how much they try to glorify Michael Sams faggott azz.

Scope is almost brand new...has been mounted on a Savage 243 and been to the range for a couple sessions. Just want to downgrade to a smaller magnification. Asking $425...will come with Blackhawk 30mm rings... Can post pics or text pics upon request. Will get pics uploaded tomorrow.

His ghillie suit did not match his surroundings on that one...stuck out like a sore thumb.

left side, yellowish clump of grass, in between the two trees.

I would say this guy passes the test. MY guess would be center of the pic lower third in the deadfall...but it is purely a guess. I see a possible gun barrel sticking out towards the left

My guess would be lower left under the grass and branches. Looks like a scope and barrel.

Your fast food analogy hit the nail on the head.

Just depends on what is the most important factor of the hunt. If a trophy animal is how you judge your hunt, hiring a guide is not a bad idea. If the hunt itself and the personal hard work put into it is the more important factor, go DIY.

Zeiss conquest hd 15's vs swarovski hd 15
AverageJoe replied to apache12's topic in Optics and tripods
Well after my trip to Wyoming I had a chance to compare the Zeiss 15x56 to the new Swaro 12x50. I will be the first to say I thought the 12's power would be a slight handicap but I was wrong. While the Zeiss are very good binos, and I was highly impressed, the swaros won in every category. The comparison was done at fading light at ranges from 500-2000 yds. These I think are the main areas of concern for hunters... Clarity - The swaros were perfectly clear and crisp from edge to edge with zero distortion. The Zeiss were very clear as well but slight distortion close to the edge. Even in the center of view at 1500 yds the swaros were able to pick up more detail Color - Swaros were more of a bluish color or true color while the Zeiss seemed to be a bit yellowish Magnification - While the 15's obviously had more power, the difference was barely notable at the ranges mentioned due to the clearness of the 12's Size and Weight - Swaro 12's are the winner...no surprise there. Overall both are great binos but the swaros were clearly better in every category. The only advantage of the zeiss over the swaro is the tripod adapter and stud it comes with which as I said before is simply awesome. Both binos would have no problem picking out coues at extended ranges. If price is concern the Zeiss at $1400-1600 are very capable and IMO as good as the old swaro 15's. If money isnt a concern and you have $2800 to spend the swarovski 12x50 are very much worth it. Final thought - I think I will be selling my Zeiss 15's to get the Swaro 12's in the near future. p.s. sorry I did not get a chance to review the swaro 15's...if anyone has any info on the new 15's maybe they can add to this thread -

Rememer recruiters do not give one shyt about the people they sign up. They are ony a number/quota to them. Tell your boy to do what he wants. If the recruiter is a bad one i would move on to another branch or location. Semper fi -
I had same problems with bergers. Try a different bullet and see what happens

Best trip of my life so far Kevin. I will remember this forever. Congrats on your first buck! . For a unit that is not known for decent bucks i think we did great! Passed up many to find the ones we did. Watching my buck fight the other bucks in the area and steal their does was awesome.
