I just wanted to give an update on this meeting. We had about 10 bowhunters speak for bowhunting in the McDowell Mountain Park as well as several members from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The people that spoke did a great job. I thought some great points were made by all. I think we made a good impression on the McDowell Mountain Park commission. Here is a link from the Arizona Bowhunters Association blog with video from the meeting. http://www.arizonabowhuntersassociation.blogspot.com/2012/07/mcdowell-mountain-park-archery-hunting.html

I have done a little more testing so far with mixed results. Last week while scouting for sheep I had a hard time ranging things over 300 yards in the bright sun light. The sun was going down and I was ranging some sheep on the sunny slope. The sun was very intense and bright so the unit mamy have had a hard time due to the sun. The Vortex Ranger was able to range the sheep at 300-400 yards but had a hard time reading things (rocks) past 500 yards in the bright sun. I turned and ranged some rocks in the shape of the canyon and was able to get some 600-700 yard readings. I got this range finder primarily for bow hunting because of the size, weight and angle compensation. I think this unit will be perfect for that. If you are looking for a range finder that can range things consistantly from 600-1000+ yards you may want to spend more money and get something else. I will post more of my findings soon. Darr

I have not tried long range targets yet. I just received it yesterday but will do some heavy testing over the next couple of weeks. I have a Leica 1200 I will be comparing it to. So far I was surprised that the Vortex Ranger is clearer, brighter and easier to look through than the Leica. I am sure the Leica will be better at long range targets but I will keep you posted. I love the size and the angle compensation of the Vortex Ranger 1000.

Great stuff you will not be disappointed if you order some and at the 25% off its a no brainer in my opinion.

The Bow Hunter Happening is the weekend of July 20-22 at Mormom Lake. This is a great fun shoot. Darr

Kevin I agree. We may try it in January. Hope you are having a good summer and we are looking forward to hunting with you guys.

I hope you guys try it. The baja sauce is so good on the fish tacos and is really what make the recipe.

Great pics Andy. Those homebrew cameras sure take great pictures. That is the fun thing about using trail cameras, it is like Christmas morning every time you check them.

Javelina Hunt & Outdoor Fair Thank you for your help!

Congrats on the great buck. If you are anything like your dad it will be the first of many.

Andy congrats on the awesome buck, love the character! I know how much time you spend in the woods and this buck is well deserved. Glad you finally posted the pics for everyone to see.

Congrats to all involved. Looks like your daughter will be hooked. The javelina hunt is the perfect hunt to start them out. Nice to see all the kids getting it done!

Thank you for all the nice comments. This hunt will be one I won't forget. TJ I have been looking at your sausage post for a couple of days and think we are going to try and make some.
