Id like to here more of the elk story with the wardens. Did he report them and that's why they have a supposed axe to grind? Was this before or after his arrest? Is the deer rut question a rhetorical question? Seems like you would already know the answer to that question.

Oh yeah, got confused with his license plate!

Hey everyone, Daisy is doing super well. She is eating on her own and seems like she will make a full recovery. Honestly it kind of blows my mind! As I understand it she was actually thrown from the vehicle which is amazing enough, and on top of the both legs were broken up top and on bottom and yet she defies all the odds. She was transferred from El Paso to the Phoenix hospital and is expected to be there for the next 6 weeks or so. Please continue to keep her in prayer. Saw the boys at Rojo house yesterday. They brought down a uhaul from Colarado and are slowly moving into and unpacking into the family home. As soon as they wrap that up they will head back up to be with Daisy. Thanks for the prayers!

I once heard from an old couple who drew tags often that the key was a perfectly filled out application with no letters touching the outside of the letterbox. Always wondered if there was some truth to it, although at that time tags were easier to get and I dont even know if you could do it online at the time. This would have been the early 2000's. It worked for me back then. Would you believe I drew a tag with no points for the early October hunt in 35a? Only buck I ever killed with a rifle, closer then any I ever killed with a bow and even smaller antlers.

Many of you know I had one of my guys die in a bad accident. His wife and him were killed and their daughter Daisy is still in the hospital. Found out no one had yet made a go fund me account for the family so I took it upon myself. Please read the story in the link and help out if you can.. https://www.gofundme.com/wzjze-please-help-daisy?pc=em_co_shareflow_m&rcid=r01-155623648261-9ef9d9cd692b4f87 Here's a couple pics from the accident. It's a miracle Daisy even survived

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks to Twigsnapper and Wellhead for their contribution to the family. Daisy is doing great! I will be updating the thread in the prayer request section in a few.

Check out cabelas ring bologna seasoning kit. It's a back east type thing similar to a summer sausage. Serve cold with mustard and pretzels. It does get exhausting trying to use burger up. Use it in place of some stir fry recipes or curry. I the end still comes out ok.

Where u from?

If a roads closed it should be gated, period.

I'm a big supporter of LEO but I feel similar. I think You should be compensated well to put your life on the line but half the salary the rest of your life seems overkill at taxpayer expense.

You guys need to throw out invites the day before. I'd go if I lived nearby.

May be a good idea to have a dog go with you guys that has snake avoidance training. Another set of eyes and a good sniffer could be a life saver. This thread and the other one in the campfire has me thinking I'm gonna go take my Boston terrier to snake training, especially since she likes to run ahead of us and is a natural born killer.

You can't not let your kids and yourself experience life. However 4 years old and less need to understand what to look for but you should always be in front. I agree with Jazz, better to go higher elevations but like wish2hunt said theynaremstill every where. Kids hate being throttled but I always stay in the lead just to keep an eye out for danger, and not just snakes. Your eyes should constantly be scanning.

Anyone with experience with the meopta line? They just came out with mid range price point line. Wondering about the internals as far as tracking and holding zero.

A troll bumped this thread and you guys are falling for it. But I have to ask, if you were carrying any other 12s except for the 12 Els would you still claim only 12s and a spotter? 12 EL and a spotter has got to be different then any other 12 and a spotter, 15s have been the standard for a long time.

Lies make baby Jesus cry.

Looks like a great spot with lots of potential. By the looks of the sheds he is or was in decline. Would have been cool to see him in his prime.

I sold them to get the meopta 15s. However, they are still really good binos. I had kaibabs and sold those to get a pair of vipers and vultures to be able to have 2 pairs. Since i mostly used my old gold ring switch powers and would let other use my vortex. I took them out side by side with my vipers just to see the difference and they were way brighter then the viper and with much less chromatic aberration. They were clear side to side too as far as I could tell. I would definately put them above the kaibabs and probably not quite as good as the meopta. Here's what I didn't like about them.. The exit pupil glass is pretty big which is nice but eyecups are a bit large, they should have made them skinnier. With my narrow beady eyes I'd have them close all the way in but the eyecups didn't allow me to have the glass close to my eyes the way I like. The other thing is connecting them to a tripod, the Velcro thing they give you is a joke so i used my vortex stud. The problem with the stud is their design is like double hinged rather then a single hinge holding the two haves together so where you would connect the stud is closer to your face and a little off balance IMO. And the third thing I don't like I'll admit is a bit stupid but I can not stand the material the carrying case is made of. The sound it makes on my fingers and the texture is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

For myself im always looking into whats out there value wise that's still decent. I have a viper pst but rarely hunt with a rifle. I have a couple vortex on the kids guns now. One of the rifles will shoot twice with a tight group then have a flyer, I don't think the flyer is me though which is why I've been looking into other scopes. Assuming those same criteria and then add in trackable, what do you think is the best bang for your buck out there?

Just researching at the moment. Had an opportunity for a discount so I figured I'd ask. But to answer your question, for my kids rifles.. the cheapest I can get that have 1. reasonably clear glass, 2. Up to at least 18power, 3. Bdc reticle, 4. Holds zero.

The Veracity looks promising. I read the outdoor life article. It won the best buy and editors choice award in 2017.

Are you saying antler restrcitions in NM did not work? If so why not?

Intentionally whipping around corners, speeding and jumping machines would qualify i believe.

I'm sorry man but imagining your gigantic butt in a Ford focus is just funny.
