How true!

STS = Straight eyepiece, steel housing........Old style ATS = Angled eyepiece, steel housing .........Old Style STM = Straight eyepiece, magnesium housing....New Style ATM = Angled eyepiece, magnesium housing.....New Style The Magnesium is about 3 oz lighter (in my opinion) Top end scopes in no particular order Optolyth 20-60 x 100 Optolyth 20-60 x 80 Kowa TSN 883/884 Prominar XD 883 Straight eyepiece, 884 Angled eypiece Kowa TSN 773/774 Prominar XD 773 Straight eyepiece, 774 Angled eypiece Swarovski 80 HD/ 65 HD Swarovski 80 / 65 Zeiss Diascope 85 / 65 Leica Televid APO 82 Leica Televid 77 Vortex RZR HD 85 Angled version only Bigger objective will gather more light in the morning and the evening But it weighs more and takes up more room in your pack. Most animals I see come out in the morning and the evening (low light conditions) So for myself I will be purchasing the larger objective. As far as angled or straight. I hear if you can get used to the angled spotter it is easier but takes a bit of time to get used to pinpointing spots and being proficient with it.

Wow congratulations! Glad to see your hard work was recognized. Great job on all your mounts

I have been looking also. Either Angled or Straight they are out there but a little tough to find.

Very nice. The information is not drawn out just a nice small excerpt on what works. Good job guys keep up the good work and good luck in your pre-season adventures

I was in your same predicament 2 years ago. Drew a Deer tag and had a landowner pronghorn permit. You will need to buy a: Antelope license (carcass tag included)$270 Habitat Management & Access Validation $4 BLM Habitat Stamp $5 You already purchased your deer tag $297 and your Deer license $270 Just make sure you keep your 2 stamps with you on your deer hunt so you do not have to repurchase them.

I am not sure yet. It was multiple units and a rifle tag in Sept. First part is done now if we can get a good unit and a good ranch assignment.

Well looks like the results are coming down the pipe. I put in with 2 other Non-residents. Good luck to others.

I recieved An email notifiying me I was drawn. Now I can go to bed instead of waiting till midnight.

8 to go............

From my understanding it is a big giant lottery Your application is given a random # Bonus point quota is met for each hunt that applies Then 1st and 2nd choice in the first pass Then 3rd.....4th.....5th They will keep filling up the hunt #'s until they have met the alloted # of tags. Does that make sense. Is this correct? If you have multiple Bonus points you are assigned that many random #'s?

The price for a bonus point is $7.50 1) Yes you can apply for a bonus point if you have either killed out for the calender year 2) Yes you can apply for a bonus point if you want to accrue points and not be drawn.

I imagine that was a bit of rush. Thanks for sharing

Sometimes getting drawn is the tough part. good luck to you

Great hunt Seems like you guys all did extremely well over there. Nice photos and stories, only makes me want to go more and more everytime somebody gets back and shares their great adventure.

Payson Meat Processing Jeremy's Cuts - Wild Game Processing

Wow that looks like a outstanding trip you had. Thanks for the photos.

My uncle had a tag in there last year they saw a few good bucks and one great buck. (He is still alive) Oh yeah and my uncle drew that tag again! 23 years for a Goat tag and he gets 2 in a row. He was shaking his head when he told me he got drawn. There are some good areas in that unit but hunting pressure will be tough to get away from. Just do some scouting and have at least 2 backup bucks, and 2 more backups of your backup bucks! Why did you chose 18b?

Wow these are just awesome.

Nice Kitty

That was definantely the right choice letting the local do the work. It seems so lifelike...... I am actually scared to look at it!

Great finds.

Not getting drawn.

Nice videos.... That is a lot of time and effort. Thanks for sharing

Yeah it makes the rejection from another state not so bad when you foggetaboudit! Seriously it is not as bad as AZ because NM sends you an email notifying you if you were drawn. Good luck.
