Can’t you hunt all of 7e with the archery tag or is there a LE archery hunt?

I don’t give a shoot if people go to Mexico from a business perspective. I do from a personal perspective. If you read my post I covered all of that. Plenty of bad dentists in the US as well that’s why I said find one one trust and stick with them. I pointed out the reasons you can’t trust a dentist who does crowns for $300. I didn’t even brush on the fact that there’s no quality control whatsoever to keep you from getting hepatitis or worse from the guy before you. If you’d rather spend $1500 for 5 crowns, 4 of which you don’t need them $1000 for the one you did and the rest of your life fighting hep C then be my guest.

Reading something written by someone who knows more then you is what research is. I’m a dentist. I’ve dealt with the garbage work and worse yet overtreatment that comes across the border. The bad thing about bad dental work is you don’t know you have it till it’s too late.

Says the guy who’s last post as about people not researching enough. Essentially they don’t make shoot off one procedure so they do 5-6 to make ends meet. Yes you got a $300 crown instead of $1000 but they did 5 on you and you only needed one. This would be cool if it was 5 pairs of binos for the price of one but with dental work the more work you do the more problems you will have, so you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of problems.

I’ve done a bit more research on the topic then most people. I’ll cut and paste my previous post as it sums it up well. “Be careful in Mexico. I went to dental school in Glendale and saw some really bad stuff come out of Mexico. Their cost per procedure is going to be lower but they are gonna make it up in volume. I can’t count how many times I saw someone who needed one crown and a couple fillings and they came back with 4-5 crowns. Yes they probably spent the same or less for those 4-5 crowns but the thing about dental work is that if you do 4-5 crowns poorly you’re setting yourself up for a really really expensive future. Everything dental goes up exponentially each time you mess with it. A sealant is $30 (sealing a crack before a cavity) a filling is $200 (cutting the cavity out and filling it back up) a crown is $1000 (cutting the tooth into a top hat shape and recovering it with a new ceramic top) a root canal and crown is $2500. Taking the tooth out and replacing with an implant is $3500. All of these prices will be lower in MX, but I can promise you they don’t stay in business at the prices they charge without doing volume. If someone comes into my office for a $1000 crown my overhead eats up pretty quick. If I do two the second one has much much higher profit and so on. That’s how they make money on a $300 crown. The other thing to keep in mind is the dental lab work from down there is atrocious. I saw stuff in dental school that I know I could have done better on when I was 8 yrs old. Just for reference, my dental lab charges me $250 to build me a crown. That’s what it costs for quality work. If I charged $300 for crowns I would go out of business in a hurry. Im betting they get their crowns from Mexican labs for $15-30. Scary thought if you ask me. When you think about the stuff a tooth has to go through, acid, hot coffee to cold ice cream in the same bite, hundreds of PSI of pressure. The thought that a $15 piece of lab ceramic made by an underage worker in a lab mill in Mexico is gonna make it more then a few years is not happening. That’s my two cents on it. Get a dentist you trust. Spend the money. You won’t regret it. I wish I were closer I could get you set up. “

Interesting choice with 12BW late as 1st and 12b late as 2nd? Can’t you hunt the whole unit with the latter tag?

Good for conservation. The game and fish will just correct it based on harvest objective and population objectives and it will generate more revenue for the state.

Bump with updated price.

Bump for the lucky tag holders! Price lowered!

Bump for the lucky tag holders and a lower price $700

Get the 12 EL’s. Something with some actual craftsmanship, not some crap slapped together by a bunch of 9year olds in a sweat shop.

That ram scored 189 with a busted off tip like that?!? Good lord! Woulda been low 190’s intact! What a giant.

I think Leupold is pretty cheap to swap reticles. Or better yet have them etch a turret for ya!

I like the idea. Just ordered a S&B Exos 3-21 about a week before they announced these. It looks like they only make them in FFP so that would DQ me from buying one but maybe they’ll start offering a SFP. Like the size and zoom ratio.

If he doesn’t take it I have one I’ll sell you for $350 shipped. It’s duplex but has a turret on top. Not in as nice of shape but works fine.

Did you buy the chip for you GPS or the iPhone download?

The original pre-Primos T5’s still bring $500+ on eBay. Most of those blinds are 20 years old or more!!! I have an original and it’s still my go to blind.

Good deal!!

Here’s the answer. More expensive then I remember but I haven’t bought a chip for several years. Worth every penny if you ask me. It lists your Astro as compatible. Pretty easy when you get it. Just open the back battery hatch and there’s a little spot for the micro SD, pop it in and go.

Garmin and OnX work well together. It just updates your base map so I would guess you could plug a chip into the back of the Astro and it would show you the same thing as it normally does just with land ownership as background. Call on x and they can verify that. They’re really good to work with. A chip runs about $50 I think for one state. I buy the whole country for my phone for $79 a year and I have chips for my gps for most of the states I hunt. I like the redundancy but use my phone most since it’s touch screen and has google earth backdrop instead of just topo. If you’re using it for bird hunting mostly I would just get a chip for your Astro since you already will be using it constantly.

Agreed. Definitely more to this story. Not saying the guy isn’t a putz if he’s been messing with stuff but old dudes with lap dogs don’t go around randomly vandalizing stuff.

One of my best Muley’s I owe directly to having this. I was driving out for the day and he was needed behind a lava flow about 50 yards from private on one side and National monument on another side. I had ONX rolling at the time, glanced at it to make sure I was cool and dropped him right in the corner of the BLM I was on. Would never have had the balls to shoot that deer otherwise.
