Thanks for checking in. I still need to make some time to sit down and write out more detail, but the short story is it was an extremely difficult hunt. As many people mentioned above, I saw some great white tail but we saw more lions than we did mature muleys. Heard of a few others with the same tag that had difficult hunts too, but I can’t complain as I ended up with a beautiful buck. I’ll post more details after archery season is over.

After crunching all the numbers for 14 BPs, I put in for late kaibab and late 21 muley. The hunting websites said I didn’t have better than a 5% chance of drawing either. Evidently they were wrong because I drew tag #1 for the late 21 tag (12/13-12/31) so I must have been max bonus points. I would have loved to finally hunt the Kaibab, but 21 is closer to scout and hunt and should be fun to meet up with friends and family. I’ve been chasing muleys and coues for over a decade with my bow in various units, but I haven’t hunted 21 a whole lot. As I’ve been out scouting I’m seeing more elk, coues and coati than mule deer. Yesterday I went to what used to be a sure bet and didn’t see a single deer. Is this everyone else’s experience this year? I’ve been avoiding the crowded areas which could be my problem, but l I may change that come December. For the deer you have seen, do they seem healthy and how was antler growth this year? I’ve seen very few bucks so far, curious what everyone else is seeing. Seems like good grass on the ground, especially further north so I’m still optimistic.

Thanks guys I appreciate the support. Found a really nice white tail yesterday, that’s always fun when scouting for muleys. I’m sure it’ll get better as we get later into the season. Good luck to anyone still hunting this year!

Vortex has a great warranty and they just sent me a brand new pair. You get to benefit from buying these brand new (I haven’t even opened the box) for way under what it would cost you in the store. These retail for $1150 plus tax, and I’m only asking $900 and they’ve literally never been put of the box. I used to have 15x Kaibabs and I glassed up countless deer and pigs with them. I think it comes with an adapter, but I have a spare if needed (the original vortex tripod adapter).

Yes, but I may be meeting somebody tomorrow waiting to hear back. I’ll PM you my number

Price drop

I have a number of boxes of 338 bullets (not loaded), some higher end. I don’t have a need for them if anyone wants them you can have them.

Found a home for all but can’t figure out how to close. Any tips how to close it?

Up

I’m going into next year with 12 BP which gives me 100% draw odds for early Kaibab. It looks like if I hold on for a few more years I can draw the late rut tag which I’d rather. Does anyone have any idea how to predict point creep? I could wait 5 or 6 years for a rut kaibab tag, but don’t think I’d want to wait much longer than that. Just not sure if I’m more like 10 years from max bonus or?? I appreciate any insight anyone has. Thanks!

Thanks guys I figure I’ll definitely put the late tag as my first choice. Question is should I put the early hunt as a second option or not. I only have this many points because I’ve been taking kids hunting, and I don’t ever plan to build up points like this again. They’ll be out of state for school starting next year so time to start cashing in some points. Either way I’ll hunt it hard every day and would probably find deer either hunt, I just don’t want to burn this many points and regret it. Thanks for the responses!

Will PM you

I had a few people interested but I was out hunting and didn’t get back to them in time. This is a great pair of glass for hundreds less than retail. Hopefully it can help someone find their buck this year!

Sorry, I can’t after all. Good luck with the sale I’m sure you’ll do well.

Is this still available? If so I may be interested.

PM sent

I borrowed a buddy’s tripod and while using it the handle broke. Outdoorsman’s doesn’t sell a handle for this older version anymore. I may drill out the original or make one. By any chance does anyone have an old handle like this I could buy?

I just sent you a PM if they’re still available

I just sent you a PM. Definitely interested

Sending you a PM

Do these have stainless barrels and cerakote?
