The binos are great, a little heavier then the vortexs they replaced but much nicer. I'm no sure how I'm pulling that kinda speed out of my STW with 150's but I've chrono'd it several different times and it sets right in there at 3450 with an ES of about 30fps. Really happy with it, it's killed about 50 deer, a few elk, a moose and a couple oryx with the scirrocos.

I run the 150's out of my 7mm STW at 3450. Nothing but good luck for me.

You can hunt the state land they lease. They control access to the private land they lease. If you can get access via a county maintained road to any state or federal land they lease grazing rights to, you have full access to hunt it. If its landlocked by private land with no access, then you don't, unless you have a helicopter. There's no law saying they have to provide you with a means of accessing public land across their private land. Often ranchers are nice Enough to allow this, sometimes they aren't.

You are wrong. They pay for the grazing land as rent. Then they can write off on they're taxes against they're income the same as any business owner would. Not exactly my idea of "huge tax breaks" and certainly not something that you can "hold in ransom".

I don't think he's that far off, I don't see why he would have to give it away just to advertise on this site. I just sold an AK-47 last weekend for a grand, it's a piece of stamped crappy Russian metal, but that's what they're worth, I'd say that a Mini is worth what he's asking. If you don't want it, don't buy it!

To be completely honest there are no decent units in CO. I would save your money and buy a landowner tag in NM or apply in WY. I have 12 pts or so in CO and absolutely nothing to burn them on. That's my two cents I guess.

I'm not sure what's worse, posting those pics without a story or if you posted the story without pics!!! But in all seriousness, we NEED a story on the lion atleast.

They upped the tags in 27 this year so he could sneak in with 9. Never know. I would caution him against 27 though. It's an aweful unit with no elk whatsoever

You'll see this posted multiple times after I post it, but Leica, Leica, Leica. That is the only rangefinder that exists in my book, unless you're strictly bowhunting.

Sorry. Someone had to do it!!!

I'll give ya $50 for the $2 bills

If I'm not mistaken don't all of the Limited Draw units in Utah have spike only hunts as their main hunt? I don't see how the fact that the few LE bull tags not allowing you to fill with a spike has any relation when they shoot a bunch of spikes in the same unit in a spike only hunt. The game and fish decides to manage a population for x number of bulls per 100 cows, if they offer a spike only hunt to keep up hunter interest and manage populations, that seems counter intuitive to what you guys are preaching doesn't it???

Colorado has a spike law so their cows get bred. Every single branch antlered bull gets shot in a lot of units in Colorado in the oct-nov hunts, and they'd kill every spike too if they were legal. Protecting the spikes assures that the following year will have a crop of raghorns to breed the cows before the whack the heck out of them in the following gun season. AZ is doing incredible managing their elk herds IMO. A lot of guys will argue that they over shoot them in az but my guess is they don't know how good they have it and haven't hunted an aweful elk state before!

Isn't the sig 238 a single action? Like a mini 1911? That doesn't seem like the best fit for CCW. I got my gf a S&W bodyguard, its a sweet little gun, and priced very well too.

Found it... Feb 21st... right after my hunt ends thank god... I'm not clear on whether or not the license is good for two animals or if you can buy two tags, just kinda curious. Gonna be a shoot-out up there.

When does this start? I have the Feb muzzy hunt, hoping it doesn't start that soon...

Good luck Zac, I'll keep my eyes peeled for him during my muzzy hunt in Feb, but I have a feeling he'll be at your taxidermists long before then.

Win 760 is faster than RL-17.....

Congrats on a beauty of a desert muley! I thought the slam just required a "muley" not a desert, is there a more specific slam that requires a desert muley? If so does it also need a "texas whitetail", carmen mountain, etc??? Just curious, I've killed desert mule deer, regular mule deer, coues and eastern whitetails, I guess I need to start looking into a couple blacktail hunts!

Wow! Good deal... if I wasn't in ND I'd be on that tonight!!!!

See any ibex? I've got a muzzy tag in Feb

I don't see why that changes anything?!?

3" #4's.

Was that a bear or just a good sized raccoon! I do have to admit it's a bit trashy to put your foot on top of an animal for a picture, I guess I respect the animals I hunt a bit more then that.
