    As far as the haze you noticed, were the Minox you looked through new or used? If used, possibly the person who owned them didn't clean them right? I have seen grown men, who seemed intelligent, take a pair of Swaro's and wipe the glass with their shirt sleeve! I just smile when I see that. I too had to get used to the eyecups on the Minox. For me, they work best about 2 clicks out. If you don't twist them out, your eyelashes rub against the glass and streak them up. Maybe that was the black haze? Seriously. You'll come to like the extra weight on the bigger glasses when it's windy.

    PSE X FORCE

    Someone explain this to me: How can Remington/Ruger/Savage etc sell a rifle, which is much more labor intensive, much more liability to sell, and probably just as much if not more in material cost, for $600 but Matthews, Hoyt, Bowtech can't put two wheels and a string on an aluminum stick for less than $700?

    Bowhunter Happening

    Are they still going to have the regular Sunrise shoot?
  4. No question - Habitat. More hunters is not even a problem, it's a neccessity.
  5. If the meat was cut on a band saw, it could have alot of marrow on it. I had that problem once too.

    Check out the new tripler from Jim White!

    Do you know if it is water proof? I am pretty sure I am doing a backpack hunt in Alaska this fall. This would be good thing to have, but only if it can handle rain.

    Is there any way we can look through one before buying?

    I remembered why i tag out every year!

    No, but if the effect lasts more than 4 hours, don't call a doctor. CALL A NURSE!

    That's why they make those little blue pills. Otherwise known as vitamin V.
  13. Saw this on another site and thought it would fit here. Would be a shame to lose this facility.

    This works great for all game, as the oil adds fat (TASTEY!) that is missing from most game animals. The acid from the lime and soy/worsteshire helps tenderize. 4-6 - 1" thick back strap fillets, sirlion steaks, or tenderloin 1/2 cup GOOD olive oil 2 tablespoon of diced garlic. FRESH 1 table spoon of grated ginger FRESH 1/2 cup of EITHER Soy or Worsteshire Juice of one lime FRESH 1/4 cup red wine (optional) Trim fat from meat, pucture meat several times with a fork. Lightly salt and pepper. Place meat in large zip-lock bag and pour marinade over the meat. Refridgerate for at least 4 hours or over night. Prepare the rest of your meal, salad, potatoes, etc. You don't want to cook the meat first then have it sitting around while the rest of the meal finishes. You want the meat to go right from the grille to the table. Place meat on HOT grille. Retain the used marinade for a sauce (optional). Cook until medium rare. It will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the grille, so don't over cook it. Overcooking is the main reason that some people turn up their noses at game meat. To make the sauce, pour the marinade into a sauce pan and add a little wine or apple juice to it (1/4 cup or so), throw in couple of pepper corns, 8-10 cherries (fresh or dried), and a bay leaf. Boil until the mixture reduced by 1/2. Strain into a serving dish and pour over meat. DO NOT EAT THE USED MARINADE UNLESS YOU HAVE BOILED IT.

    That rifle might be too purdy to be dragging through the catclaw and manzanita.

    DIY in Colorado

    I went to the Weminuche once. It was a zoo. Traffic jams at every trail head, a constant string of pack horses on the trail, and a sea of orange. That was the first rifle season though, maybe the archery season is different.

    Archery Bear

    I have the same tag. I am going to start setting up some trail cams in few weeks. What makes me a little nervous is that there is only a 1 sow quota, so someone could get lucky and end the hunt for everyone the first weekend. Not telling anyone to pass a bear, but if you have a small sow in bow range, think about it before shooting. There are some big boars in 22.
