  3. Awesome pics and you definately had a blessed morning... I know you compared your new 12s to the 15s ...What is your honest opinion for a guy who can only have one or the other? Is the field of view and clarity worth the loss of power? any input would be GREATLY appreciated...thx in advance...max
  4. Congrat's on your new glass, I am sure they won't dissapoint...A couple of questions, will that adapter on your 10s (pictured) fit your new 12s? if so where did you get it...? I've been wanting to trade up to the 12s since they came out but the 12 ELs mounting setup did not appeal to me at all... any feedback would be great...thx..max

    Anthony and Austins jr. Hunt's

    After these boy's completed hunter safety course, plans were made on what unit's to put them in for and try get them out into the field asap....Dad did a great job on the apps. and tag's were on the way for deer and javelina. Day 1 Anthony was first up and he let it be known that the 1st antlered deer found was in trouble. After glassing doe's all morning this buck was located and Anthony kept his word....2 shot's and 140 yards later he had his 1st big game animal down...high fives and hug's all around...sweet Day 2 Next up was Austin, he couldn't make it out the first day due to football, (that's another sport he is gonna excel at for sure). The morning was spent glassing different high point's without any antlered deer located. Around noon, this buck was located bedded 400 yds out and definately in the right place wrong time...Austin let it be known that was not prejudice with antler size or deer species...cutting the distance down to 200 yards and some fantastic shooting, Austins buck was down... Day 3 Today we are 200 miles away in a different unit and javelina are on the hit list, we glass all day from multiple high points and nothing but some BIG muleys found, around 4 o,clock we are back at the 1st point where we started are day. At 4:15 and at the same time, dad(Benny)and my son(Damian) tell me they have pig's. After they get me pointed in the right direction and ridge I find them through the 15s... wow, what a spot...glassing with 10s...atleast a mile as a crow fly's....impressive. To say we double timed it was an understatement. We got the wind right and the herd located 100 yds. below, with light fading fast these boy's impessed me again with there shooting ability's... .....What a weekend of hunting, Thanks Benny,Anthony and Austin for the memories..., Damian,you are an official 2 legged pack mule...thx son, The pig packout in the dark with a full moon.....priceless

  19. Well folks I finally learned how to add/change pic size for posting...jeez what headache...anyways,on to the story. I met Shawn a little less then a year ago and in no time was filling his ear with my outdoor endeavors and how if he wanted to put in for deer, I would get him the the opportunity at "A" deer within 50 miles of where we work. Well, the deer deadline fast approaching, apps were filled out and sent off. Fast forward a couple of months, Shawn drew 24b early whitetail and plans were made to ...1) get him shooting out to 300 yds.(2) scout... and with opening day fast approaching we realized that due our work schedule's we would be limited to hunting after work ... Day 1 Afternoon hunt, and around 530 a buck was located ranged at 320 yds. I ask Shawn "It's up to you bud? and he gives me the head nod that say's " I got this" ...well 2 shots later this buck walks over the ridge perfectly healthy...well, maybe his right rear toe nail clipped...lol..we walk back to the truck in the dark all the while him telling me how he DIDN'T get buck fever...rushed a little due to light fading fast... great memory and plans were made for the next day... Day 2 turns out that we both can make out into field early...10am if you want call it early glassed as many high points as possible and found deer all day...nothing but skinheads...except for "Mr Buckley"..the name Shaw gave him later. This muley buck was HUGE and he fed in front of us about 400 yds. out ...as usual hunting WT. and ol'roman nose 5x5 decides to show... I explain to him to get used to it...it never fails Day 3 I can't hunt but Shawn can... he and one of his buddies make it out and bigman shows off his newly acquired glass'n skills ... ..no whitetails all muleys Day 4 We are able to get out a little early and we bonzai deep to a highpont where I have seen some nice bucks in the past, nothin movin or bedded from our glassin point... ...at 5pm I catch movement 600yds. I tell shawn "mountian lion" and tell to take a look through the 15s...His look was a classic " you got me out here with them thing's walk'n around"... ...too funny, anyways I proceed to get lined up and 2 shots later I am thinking i hit him... we bail off our highpoint headed for lion country look'n for blood ...halfway there I tell Shawn "buck" 120 yds. in front of us standing broadside looking at us...4 shots later we named this buck the matrix...cause every shot Shawn sent his way...this deer dodged it and headed around the same mountain we were headed. We come around the ridge look'n for cat and deer...the hole time shawn is cussing his shooting abilities, or lack there of ...a minute later I whisper there he is, looking at us under a tree...100yds. maybe less. Let's just say 3 shots later this buck had enough and was giving the purrrtiest "fu...rget you flag wave possible as he headed for safer country healthy as the day it was born. We look for blood till dark, lion is evidently nice and healthy also... It's along hike back to the truck in the dark and Shawn is grappling with how the best day of his life turned to the worst in about 2.2 sec. He let's it be known that if his hunt was over right then and there he would be content and would definately be back for more... Day 5 We meet up at 245 pm and head for a canyon that I've glassed whitetail's before but looks like muley country, At 430 Shawn glasses up a heard of javy's across the canyon and insists that he seen a deer, but can not find it again at 515 he tells me he found it at looks like a muley...I take look with the 15s and low and behold 2 nice whitetails... a 2x2 with long eye guards and a very nice 3x3 that looks like he could be pushing 90 in. Smaller buck standing broadside and basket rack facing us ...With light fading, BOOM...just missed... 3x3 wastes no time sticking around...2x2 standing proud and wondering WTF...BOOM ....looked hit, back hunched up skirting the ridge and around the corner. We bail off the mountian and look for any sign of a hit deer... nothing found....it was a long hike back to the truck and thunderstorm soaked us to the core... Day 6 We get to the same glassing point as yesterday at 330 and its hot. We have an extra set of eyes today, the last day and we are gonna close it out strong 4pm nothing 430, 500, nothing. At 510 I glass this buck up 600 yds. out feeding on top of a nasty butte feeding. We gotta go "NOW" and we bail off the mountian into the wash as fast as possible. We get to 300 yds. and I get Shawn on the deer...'" do not look at the antlers" and he gave me the same look that came with the lion spot...lol...BOOM...miss....BOOM...miss, and the deer walks down hill out of sight...we gotta move quick...we move up about 75 more yards and I see him looking at us over the brush neck and antlers only...Shawn is having a hard time finding him in the scope...finally...he says "gotm" SHOOT.... BOOM and I see him drop in his tracks...WHOOOHOOOO... HUGS and high fives all around...Shawn is in disbelief ...shooting light fades soon after and we start up the mountian by flashlight....well I will let the pics speak for themselves....Big Thanks Shawn..! for a great hunt and memory...you are going to have a hard time topping this buck but I know you will spend the rest of your day's try'n....MAX Thank's to Chris for the packout... my bro Nick(greyhawk) for tapeing him that night....101' and change
