Very nice! Looks like a light weight setup. I remember using the Sterno can back in the 70's. Pretty cool that it is still around. I still have my old collapsable Sterno stove and mess kit. I tried the coffee press with my jetboil....it leaves a mess of grounds in the cup, and I have to use valuable water to wash it out. I now use the Starbucks instant singles or the Folgers "tea" bag singles. No coffee grounds mess. Love the jetboil though! ....and love the Mountain House meals.

I recently bought a Leupold 1000i TBR. I really like it. A huge improvement over their older models. They are right around $400. The non-TBR is around $350. I think it is the best RF in this price range. The Nikon Rifle Hunter models have good reviews as well.

Holy Smokes!! That's a great buck! It's easy huh......

Now that's funny right there.... Tough hombre...they're all running away from him.

You are on target. I found these items laying on the trail, in an area I hunt a lot. It appears they hadn't been there for long, because the last pic on the SD card was dated 12/30/12 and the batteries have full charge. I don't recognize the guys in the photos, or the location of their setup. It appears, by looking at all the photos, that these guys are the owners. I was hesitant to post their pics, but as a last resort thinking someone may recognize them. I assure you it is with good intentions....just trying to get these devices back to them, as I don't feel right about keeping and using the stuff. Any ideas on other methods to find them?

I think it is deceiving because he is holding out away from his body. Post some measurements to be more sure.

No response to this add. The SD card in one of the devices appears to have pics of the owners. Take a look to see if you recognize them. If so, have them call me: Brad 480-205-9828 Saturday (1/5) I found two photo related devices in unit 22 in upper Sycamore creek / FR201 area. The items are somewhat pricey, so I would like to get them back to the owner. Call me with a description of the items and where you may have lost them. I will post in other forum topics as well.

Yup. It works! They have video lessons on how/when to use it. It works best if you bust a herd, especially if they have young. The boars will come charging back. I once randomly called at the mouth of a side canyon and pigs came woofing out right into my lap.

It seems to be the case near Oracle, Black Hills. They've been hard to find the last few years. The herds we do find are only 4 or 5 pigs. Hate to kill a quarter of the herd with one shot. Not sure what's going on...disease, predators, drought, over hunting...

Wow! Great buck! I love them high and tight. What part of Indiana is he from? I am originally from Ft. Wayne...NE corner of the state. Been here for 33 years.

I am wanting to replace the factory sights on my XDM 40 (3.8 compact). Two questions: 1) Can you recommend a competent gun smith in the east valley that has experience with this, specificly XDM's? I understand xdm sights are very tight and require a good sight press and experience so the slide/sights don't get bunged up. A couple of sites recommend sending the slide to XD-HS2000.com, where they will do it for $20, or free if you buy the sights from them. Not sure I am comfortable sending my slide away for a while. 2) What night sights do you recommend? The Truglo fiber optic/tritium ones caught my eye, but reviews say it is not very robust after several rounds. I am leaning toward the Trijicon or Meprolight Tru Dot. Any real experience with these? Any input is appreciated. Thanks, Brad

That's what I've been trying to draw a tag for all these years!?? LOL

I met two of them last Oct, at Jakes Corner. They are really cool and friendly. Wish I had the room for them.

Your favorite hill near RR? It'll be a while before we get back in there.

Very nice buck!! Wow!

Happy anniversary CWT. Thanks Amanda, and the others involved, for keeping this site going all these years. I have gleaned a lot of valuble info from here and met a lot of virtual friends, even though I haven't met many of them, I feel I know them some. I hope to meet more in the future. Thank you and Merry Christmas! Brad

Be aware, some units are closed to archery deer in December, including Units 22 and 23.

Great buck! Good job, and way to stick with it.

I believe it is in Feb. after the HAM hunt. Here are the regs. springregs2013.pdf
