    Deer hit, broken arrow question

    Tough to say.only time I've seen a clear fluid on an arrow is on deer hit in the void space above the vitals and below the spine.the broken arrow is a complete roll of the dice as far as how that'd happen in my experience.sorry I can't be of more help.good luck tomorrow!

    Swarovski 10x42 question + vortex 15x50

    If you are a rifle Hunter, 12s alone are probably the most versitile choice.maybe even 15s alone. But if you are a spot and stalk bowhunter, that's where having the lower powered binos on your chest is worth it's weight in gold. 8x32s for me. When you're up close,hearts pounding,know there's a buck within shooting distance but you just can't pick him out. ... You definitely want something that you can hold with one hand and search without too much shaking. 8x32s are the ticket for me in that situation

    Swarovski 10x42 question + vortex 15x50

    To my eyes, I'd take the slc's even if they were the same price. The El's field flattener lenses take away from the depth of view,which is one of the most important things to me. And the 15x is definitely an advantage in my opinion,the slight edge in clarity for the els dosent make up that extra 3x for me. Both top of the line binos, just splitting hairs

    Swarovski 10x42 question + vortex 15x50

    There's a ton of benefits of swaros over vipers, but to me the biggest are clarity, the ability to really see into shadows, and the depth of view. I used to have vipers,and I thought they were pretty good til I got my slc's.the swaros are significantly better in every category

    Backcountry Tent

    I've been eyeballing the Nemo hornet 2p to upgrade my setup.awesome tent. Basically the same thing I use now but half the weight. I've considered using a tarp instead of my 4 lb tent, but I'd happily carry the extra lb (when I get the hornet) to have the extra comfort and critter protection of a tent personally

    Northerner heading South in January (recap)

    I doubt those success rates are accurate, my guess would be much lower...
  13. I enjoyed your write up, I think it's refreshing to hear someone so excited to shoot any legal deer. I think people get way too caught up in the size of the antlers,sometimes I do too.the true trophy,in my opinion, is the adventure and challenges of the hunt itself. But I do like seeing big animals as much as the next guy! Good job on your first coues, sounds like a trophy hunt in my book.

    whats next

    ,and I use 15x swaros and 8x32 meostars, and a razor spotter. I carry multiple binos because they both have circumstances that they excell in more then having one pair (12x) that does everything decent,but can't pick apart hills at distance as effectively (15s) , or scan close areas as well as my 8s. I mostly bowhunt, and I feel 8x32s are the best out there for stalking situations. Having said that,if my optics disappeared,and I had to get a setup that I would feel very confident in, on a budget, I would get some meostar 12x50 hd's and a good tripod. In my opinion, those are the highest performance, most versitile,highest bang for the buck binos out there

    Bino Harness - looking for recommendations

    I would've got the marsupial but they don't make one that would fit my 8x's reasonably well,so I have an agc Kodiak cub. So far I absolutely love it, holds a few essentials for when I drop my pack and stalk, is very protective yet small, and is easy to use 1 handed. Couldn't ask for more honestly

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    Also,I'm sure your response will probably start with something about how my old lady would run off with you etc.... Even though I'd love to see her laugh in your face....I hate to break it to you,but I guarantee you wouldn't find her attractive. Shes gorgeous,don't get me wrong,but she's definitely not your type.shes not your first or second relative.sorry dude. Don't wanna ruin that family blood, obviously been 'pure' for a long,long time.

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    Shut the f up nobull, not one veteran fought so that people like you could disgrace our country, you just happen to live where the decent, productive members of this country live. And the only old ladies that might run off with you prowl the darkest pay by the hour motel rooms off miracle Mile. Just cuz your family are poaching,thieving disgraces to society don't make you bad boys. Just douches.

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    Wait you lost me....are you laughing about you and your family being the #1 laughing stock and embarrassment of ethical hunters in Arizona? Or how your family is a complete disgusting disgrace to the fire service? Or was is the poaching and theft you believe you got away with? I don't find any of those things funny at all, and neither should you.
