Hatchet Jack

Thanks for the replies. Just leaving work now. I will be glassing big canyon country spot and stalk. Will definitely have him stay with his dog at the top if I end up moving in on a bear. Anybody with a lick of sense would see this is not a dog being used to pursue or chase bears, I just worry about how an officer might try to interpret having a dog in our group while actively hunting bears.

Me and a buddy are headed out for a quick backpack trip this weekend and I'll be hunting bears in an open unit. He doesn't hunt and is just coming along for the hike. He just informed me he wants to bring his dog with us. Could this be somehow interpreted as pursuing bears with a dog? It's a border collie and he said it doesn't chase animals, I just don't want to leave myself open to getting into trouble. Probably a stupid question just curious if any of you guys have input. Thanks

Straight is nice if you're switching back and forth between binos and scope.

I'm looking at getting a good tent for taking the wife and kid out. Is kodiak the way to go for quality and ease of setup? Also is it worth it to get the delux over the basic model?

It too late to get in line?

If you're close enough to be bugged by road hunters, maybe just hunt a little farther from the road.

Man I have really been thinking about this too. Instead of $1600 15x and $1000 10x binos, which are both very good, I could have one 12x pair of the best glass on earth, and save some weight.

You're a good man. Good luck with the sale.

Carrying a spotter sucks but needed if you're not just meat huntin. As with everybody else I love my 15s but if I had to have just one go-to setup to pack around I'd go with a high end 12x50 paired with a 65 spotter, especially if you're mostly hunting elk and carp. I would love to add some EL 12x50s to my family one day.

im just saying eric church and luke bryan are the same thing. i thought you were just posting about not liking country? or was that just country thunder Other than Luke Brian sounds like Kermit the frog

I like eric church. he atleast sings about real stuff and not the predictable jacked up trucks, tan legs, tailgates bullcrap most the other crap on the radio sings about.

Interested. Pm sent

hey man just fyi there was a guy on rockslide looking for some 10x42 conquests recently. good luck

I agree. Man they can get up and down the floor.

The manfrotto 290 carbon is a great all around tripod. I can stand and glass off the side of the road and it's solid. Or throw it in the pack and put on 3 or 7 miles. It is a bit heavy/bulky for true backpack hunting so I picked up a used Gitzo for that stuff. I also am a fan of the 700rc2 head

Sold

Very good condition and clean Glass in excellent condition 2 yrs old I just don't need them or use them Comes with outdoorsman stud, soft case, and lens caps $800 shipped. Located in safford will take $770 face to face Sorry for sideways pics

These are spf

Dude, do it. I impulse bought some used last year from another site and it was the best thousand bucks I've spent. The glass is spectacular and the build quality is top shelf.

cant speak for binos, but I have sent a scope back for repair. Power adjustment knob was froze. It took them a month or so but it came back fixed up and clean. Charged me zero dollars.

I think the words knowingly and any substance would get ya.

Just so happens that my 2016 deer is my smallest. It is my first coues deer and is by far my most rewarding deer ever. I Moved to az in 2014 and these things intrigue the heck out of me. I went solo on a leftover tag and it took me till day 5 to get it done. To get to where I was seeing deer I was having to hike hour and a half in some nasty rocky thorny crap. It was a great experience including some close encounters with an angry sow with 2 cubs and a rattlesnake in a rockslide. I was able to get the kill shot on video thru my 15s. His skull will always have a place on my mantle because of the great memories and work associated with that hunt. I am convinced that any size coues is a trophy.

cool buck. never seen em with the bottom jaw left on.
