I have the Nikon Monarch 6-24x50 and I love it. The BDC reticle really works. Also you might try the Nikon ATB binos. I have the 10x56's. Great glass, very affordable, lightweight and great in low light conditions.

What did you draw Russ?

Unit 27 mule deer tag for me, my dad, and brother this year. Congrats to everyone that drew.

That's good stuff man!! I think we all did that.

I sure hope you're right, can't take it anymore.

Called the AZGFD yesterday and the woman I talked to said the draw results wouldn't be out until the end of next week. I really hope she's wrong this is driving me mad Guess we'll all know soon enough Good luck everyone!!

Lady at AZGFD said they wouldn't be out til the end of next week. Hope she's wrong!!

I got the bushnell 1500 with arc and I love it! No problems and doesn't seem to be a major battery consumer. I haven't tried to range anything out to a 1000 yards as they say it can do on nonreflective objects, but I have hit objects at 800 easily. I don't ever plan on shooting anything at 1000 yards but I wanted a rangedfinder powerful enough that there wasn't going to be any question when I pushed the button. In my opinion it would be best to spend the money on the more powerful rangefinder if you can afford it. Not to say thought that the 1200 wouldn't be good because I looded at that one also, but I felt a little more would be that much better. Just my thoughts I'm no expert, but maybe this will help you a bit.

It's gonna be the 18th. 11:00am. Get the dialing finger ready.

10 on the optic package for me and 2 for elk. Gotta love the Swaro glass!!

Bonus point for me But my dad drew a 6a muzzleloader bull tag in Nov. So at least I still get to go. congrats to all that drew and for those of us who didn't, theirs always next year!

I wanted to start this topic because its not only a fact that everyone is waiting on results for that famous Arizona archery bull tag, but because I haven't got to hunt Elk with my bow yet and I'm kinda curious what the pros on here have to say about what would be best to use. Arrows, Broadheads, etc. I have a Matthews Legacy bow, shooting about 65lbs and about 305fps with what I use for Deer. What would complete the package for Elk without sacraficing much speed?

Awsome man thanks for the insight!!!!

That sucks man!! Those chances are usually few and far between. One of my buddies had a similar experience on a 6x6, figured it would have scored in the 370 range, It got away on a mechanical, but in the same trip they also harvested 2 others with the same broadhead, so go figure. Guess you can't hardly go wrong with a fixed blade if you can keep the suckers from plaining. I haven't seen one that doesn't yet, but I haven't shot all of them either.

I Agree I totally agree with you guys. If it ain't broke don't fix it!! It's just that when you start changing variables on your ammunition to suit a particular hunting situation, your performance usually goes one way or the other. From my experience anyway.

My arrows are right at 400 grains. I shoot Gold Tip 4350s with 100gr. mechanical. With all that heavy bone though a mechanical can't be all that great can it? I've seen people use them before and had success, but it makes me a little warry. Been looking at the crimson talons. Which one has been the most productive for you?

That's a nice buck man!

I think I'll do both at the same time!!

That's bein greedy Clay!! Although I think everyone on here thinks the same way.

I agree. A tall heavy rack, that's what dances through my head the night before the season opener!!!

The anticipation is drivin me crazy!!!! I think it's gonna be the 26th at 1:00 Just got that gut feeling.

Hello everybody, names Dan. I'm excited to get to know everybody. Been reading everyones threads for a long time and finally decided to join up. Looks like alot of great people are on here and I'm glad to be part of it.
