I just bought the 12X52 Minox binoculars about a month ago and did a lot of research and talked with Doug at Cameraland. From what he said and I saw the Minox are better than the Zeiss Conquest line. That is their lower end line. The Minox used to be a line of the Leica binoculars and have split off to become their own company. I couldn't be more happy with the money I spent.
I drew a unit 20B tag this year. We decided to change it up a little. We used to hunt 21 and 33 all the time but I think half the fun is glassing for them. So this is going to be a new experience this year.
That is a great buck. I am also curious what unit he came out of. I spent several days with a friend of mine in A this year. Didn't see any shooter bucks. Saw lots of 80 and below bucks though.
I have been up there this last weekend and going back up in the morning with a friend that has a tag. When we bought our permits this last weekend they said that there were a bunch of people camping out the day before they went on sale. I am pretty sure that everything is sold out. I know the bear tags went up $200 too. Didn't hear about any other prices though.
Wow, I would take lucky any day. Great pics and story. Looks like you had a great time in AZ besides the weather. What part of Idaho you from? I grew up in Jerome and get up there about every year. I like hunting muleys over by Carey.
Great buck. I just got back from helping a friend in zone A. We are going back up this week to finish up. We have passed on a few but haven't seen anything as nice as yours. We have been keeping our eyes open for any lions. My friend would rather take a lion than a buck. Congrats
