How do these compare to the 10 year old Leica, Zeiss, Swaro non-hd scopes of comparable objective size and magnification? I am thinking of replacing my older Zeiss 65mm with a larger scope.

Great cat!! I want one.

Good info here. I will soon be a Ram diesel owner, for the first time. 2014 SLT. I will be reading a lot of forums. Hopefully it won't be more of a pain than it's worth.

Thanks for the heads up!! Just ordered the 65 and 20.

Guns etc sells safes.

Can this be used for archery as well? What is the minimum range?

"But is it ok to ask a hunter you come across if they've seen anything/ or had any encounters or is that something you keep to yourself while out in the field?" Don't ask, don't tell "...and when I come back up I lose them. They're totally gone and I can't relocate them." They have trap doors...I swear it...

That would be fun to go to. Isn't it only open to folks in the industry, not general public?

Holy smokes!! Great bucks!

Not sure why they would give the exact location anyhow. There were still claim jumpers then. Could be a little misleading.

OK, after reading the article, this doesn't match the description either. 15 miles west of Payson and south of E. Verde puts it about 6 miles into the wilderness, past Doll Baby Ranch, which apparently was Taylor Ranch. I love maps, especially old ones.

There is a House Place Spring below/east of North Peak, north of Boyd Mnt. There is an old mine road, off the main road 414, that heads west into the higher foothills. they are all scarred up with old mining activity. The 414 will be a mess for a while, with this weather. I just looked at the old map posted earlier. It shows House Mine at this location I mentioned.

Great bucks!

I bought this one from REI. Haven't used it yet. Gets good reviews regarding taste. https://www.rei.com/product/836469/nalgene-flask-12-fl-oz#

I've called them out of their bed with the popular javelina call (don't remember the name...J8 or something). They come in fast

I have the Alaknak 12x12 with all the options. It is a great tent. It is 11 years old and shows very little wear. A propane heater will keep it plenty warm down into the 20's. A wood stove will keep it toasty at 10 degrees. The vestibule adds a lot of extra room. I have a little experience in canvas tents. I can't handle the musty smell.

Very cool! That's a heck of a woman right there! My wife doesn't hunt...sometimes I wish she did. It would be fun to share the experience together.

Congrats!! That was a fun story.

I hunted that place several years ago, and had a similar experience...not as bad as yours though. I didn't know better because it was my first time hunting pheasant. The birds were in decent shape, but you had to kick at them to get them to fly. We wore irrigation boots do to the wet, muddy field. The YMCA club up near Prescott is WAY better. You are hunting natural desert and the birds are stocked ahead of time.

How do you cook it to make it "pull"?

Got mine

I have always had a pleasant experience, great conversation, and competitive prices at Healy. Great people.

I've thought of hunting them with a paintball gun, so I don't have to deal with a dead one LOL. I've always had them made into summer sausage...pretty good stuff.

I have AG IWB and OWB. They both work well and are comfortable. No break in like leather. At the time I bought mine, they were a lot less $ than their competitors. Also if you change guns you can just buy a new shell. For appendix carry, I prefer a single belt clip holster....I have a Blackhawk.

Big congrats to Neil. Thank you for your service! I have hunted a lot around Picket Post and would have loved to be involved with this. I was helping my buddy with his WT hunt and was not on CWT for several days. Big kudos to AES and CWT! Maybe G&F would put the story in Wildlife Veiws?
