    Vortex

    I picked up a used pair of 10x42 Diamondbacks and I like them being the nicest pair (or most expensive) of glass I've ever owned. I've never looked through the higher end glasses in the field so I can't make a comparison there. I can't tell a difference between those and the 10x42 Prostaff 7s I bought on sale for $100 at cabelas. I do like how the Diamondbacks feel on my hands better than the Prostaff. But I used both on tripods so doesn't make a difference in that case.
  2. You guys are awesome!!! Glad I took interest of hunting and found this site. Have never been a part of a forum with as many caring people before.

    Stolen camera

    This is going to end up as a rerun of this thread. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/59234-hopefully-not-your-cam/
  4. Helps me take my mind off my own medical appointments. God is good! just so happens Jareds scripture he chose is also the scripture I have on my wallet. Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you." declares the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future." And that happens to be my wife's favorite scripture. Love it!!!
  5. Prayers go out to Ty and his family. God Bless him and his family and God Bless everyone for their generosity.
  6. No shotgun? No problem. Here's how to hunt with a dog in Pakistan...
  7. My wife wanted to go camping on her birthday weekend (9/5) so we reserved a spot at dog town lake. Anyone do any dove hunting up in that unit? I see a lot of water holes on google map so hoping to get some dove hunting in while we're up there.
  8. Yes. It's more of a joke. Never planned on picking it up in case there's AZG&F police out there monitoring our posts but I still can't wait for the season to start.

    question about auto repairs versus buying a new car

    Once warranty is done with a new car purchase, my car will never see a dealer mechanic again. I always bring my cars to Carl's Car Care on Bell Rd & 59th Ave.

    Vowells Monday check in

    Once again, I went through the week watching my diet intake. Stretching/push-ups/sit-ups almost daily. The big workout this past week was my scouting trip Fri/Sat. It was a tough hike back and forth from my truck to the glassing spot. But I made it through. Had my pack at about 30-35lbs I think. I'll need to see if I can shed some weight for my next trip out. I thought my back would be a lot more sore right now but it isn't bad. I think the little exercise I did to strengthen/stretch helped. Also having my pack set up correctly to have the load on my legs rather than my shoulder helped as well. Can't wait for the next scouting trip.
  12. I'm with you. September is looking so busy for my household. Wife's bday, son has a baseball tourney, dove hunt, deer scouting, my bday. Fun fun fun...

    Need Help?

    That may or may not be accurate. Tough to say really, but overall I agree with trphyhntr. Those are generally not very accurate. It should never take into account how much weight you "want to lose per week". You should calculate out your basal metabolic rate, adjust for activity, then add 500 for lean weight gain and subtract 500 for efficient fat loss. Efficient fat loss is a maximum of 2lbs/week. Any more than that and you likely start to eat into muscle. Only exception is morbidly obese people. Also, as said earlier, you never want to eat increased quantities based solely on exercise. Instead, you should be accounting for exercise in your overall diet and adjust your intake. I can try to explain, but the physiology can pretty complicated and boring. You will see maximum results by planning your days out ahead of time and properly balancing all of your meals and macros. A small part of the process is confusing your body by making it believe there is an abundance of food while it is actually at a deficit. If you want I would be happy to send you my spreadsheet. Thanks for the explanation. Sent you a PM.

    Should we be using ear protection?

    Yes for ear protection when shooting the rifle. Don't need it on when looking for the target.

    Cecil the Lion

    "There's 2 sides to every story". We all knew that the main stream media isn't telling the whole truth. And if this letter is legit, here's the other side. Prayers go out to the family of Masugu. As for the Cecil the lion, hope that many locals enjoyed his meat after he was harvested.
  18. Thanks for the heads up. I just signed up. Can't wait to see the deals.

    Binos for kids

    Wow. You're a nice dad. I bought my 8 & 10 year old some $15 glass from Cabelas to play with LOL.

    Need Help?

    It's better than not using anything. I've lost quite a bit of weight using it because if I don't use it, I go way over. It may not be perfect but something is better than nothing...unless I find something else better.

    Need Help?

    I've been using the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone to keep track of my calorie intake. It's got me set at 2020 calories a day (had to enter my current weight and how much I want to lose per week...currently have it set to 1 lb a week). Also, as I walk around throughout the day, it keeps track of my steps and adds a few calories that I can intake depending on how much walking I do. Anyways, how does your spreadsheet differ? Awesome of you to offer this help btw.
