I have a 62 I bought a couple of years ago and the batteries seem to last forever, but I'll second the part of keeping spares but I change them once a year and only use Duracell Quantum batteries and never had a problem.

Nailed It!

Primordial.

Good read that some will never admit to, or get.

New Math. LOL Bet ya $100 I'm right..... I was agreeing with you.

New Math. LOL

That jar looks huge and it should provide hours of fun for her.

Just did mine for Pig and Turkey took about 10 minutes for both using Google Chrome.

Have fun and congrats.

What an experience, glad it finally worked out for you. I don't know what kind of truck you have but I like to keep two spares with me on trips like that and I keep a couple of the large cans of Flat Fix behind the rear seat next to a small air compressor. That reminds me they are a few years old so I'll be tossing them and picking up a couple of new ones.

I've also see Ringneck Snakes in bushes about 4' off the ground.

I feel your pain, people just don't care. A few years ago I had a guy and his wife from Sierra Vista walk past me and my boy obviously set on hunting the tank we were overlooking. They walked up to about 20 feet from us and stopped, waved and turned back. As the sun was setting a couple of hours later we headed out with a mile walk back to camp. Yup there they were all set up about 50 feet away from us. 100 years ago he would have tasted the butt of my rifle but we just acknowledged them and kept on going.

That's how my family in Cutoff does it, just add mushrooms too.

This will give you some places to look at. http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting_units_24b.shtml

Well guess I'll be doing a paper app for my donation.

I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.

You didn't say what caliber, scope or if you are going to try to set it up for long range or just plain old general hunting. I have standard two piece Leupold bases with the adjustable windage rear base and the dovetail front on a 700 in 7mag. Works well for what I do but I have not had any shot opportunities much past 250 yards. I has a Leupold VX2 4x12 scope in it for 19 years and last year went to a Zeiss 3x15 with a Rapid Z800 Reticle. Talley makes some nice lightweight rings and bases but if you are looking to setup for 800-1500 yards you will probably want a one piece and I think that a 20MOA should work but since I don't know enough about Long Range Setups you might want to tell us what you plans are and what scope you plan on using so someone with more expertise/knowledge can chime in.

Stuff happens and it is tough to miss out on any hunt but that's just the way it goes sometimes. You sound pretty lucky to me so just put in again next year.

Not even worth the effort. Not that I'm looking.

Looks like Globe.

Might try calling a few.

Yeah, they usually don't like to be handled and will bite but I'm not going to tell you to do that in case it isn't a non-venomous snake.

You might want to do a search as there have been a few posts about radios on here.
