I haven't had the pleasure to shoot a Hoyt but have you tried to scour the internet for reviews on both? If you can find some then you can do some comparisons.

I got it late last night. If you haven't received one by now I'd be giving them a call to make sure your in the system. (JK)

I was just thinking that the state of new york got 100% more rain/snow then the desert we live in. Could be why the newborns do so well there with all the water and food they have access to. Maybe G&f could do a rain dance or something.... I know when I was growing up there is was pretty common to get over 36" a year.

What about Catalina Island? I know they have pigs there.

I wouldn't know. I've never had much more than a couple of bruises in 6 decades, haven't been sick in close to 10 years. The last time I had a headache was n my teens. Pretty sure I fractured my radius in November but it only was a handicap for a couple of days but it still reminds me it's there every time I put too much pressure on it.

You can for $1995. It is a beauty.

I have the same rifle in 308 and like it a lot. Congrats on the hunt.

Which model did you decide upon? I bought the 3x15 Conquest HD last year to replace a 20 year old Leupold VXll and the clarity difference was noticeable. I got the Z PLEX 800 and I did not find out until after I bought it that for the ZPLEX to be accurate the scope needs to stay on 11.5X for the load I use.

I have a foam pad I got at Dicks that sports fans use for sitting on in stadiums. It was maybe $5 and in the past I have used foam pads I got in the Garden Supply Dept at Walmart. I have also used a small fold up stool made of metal and canvas I bought 20 years ago at an Army/Navy Surplus shop here locally but they went out of business a few years ago. I have not found anything small enough to tote around that also gives back support. I do 95% of my glassing sitting down in the shade.

ZOMBIES

Can you email me a picture of the Bobcat?

Take the Beer Goggles off Bubba. You are replying to a post that is five years old.

The earth can only absorb water at a given rate then it runs off creating flash floods. The vast majority of the soil is rocky and clay based which is also why we see standing puddles for a couple of days in rutted out dirt roads. When it rains very slowly for a time a lot of the water soaks in but get a couple of heavy downpours during that time and swoosh the excess water ends up in the canyons and washes.

Get Involved.

"I parked my truck well before light on a little tiny two track and it was the only road up into this country." Not trying to start a fight here mc just going by what you posted originally about parking ON the Only road that was going into the area you hunted. You said nothing about parking at the END of the road or that they went cross country and got onto another road.

Please don't block roads, especially on public land and by doing so you could have prevented or impeded a vehicle responding to a search and rescue or a forest fire. Another hunter could also been coming into the area to recover an animal.

Why not just make it easy on yourself and remove all doubt by calling G&F?

Your Welcome at my campfire anytime.

Thanks for posting this. As a non-trapper I had to look up what a castor is. Can you explain why it isn't referred to as beaver?

Well aushunter you have certainly come to the right place so welcome to the site.

I would not do that, especially without going over the other person and talking for a bit. I've had similar situations happen to me in the field and can only surmise that the other person hunts that area year after year and feels they have some ownership to it. A couple of years ago my son and I setup off a road to watch a tank that was a couple of hundred yards across a field a few hours before sunset. A truck drove past us and parked just around the bend. We were about 10 feet off the road in the shade so they could not have seen us as they drove by. They walked past us about 5 minutes later and upon seeing us they walked back in the direction of their truck. We sat there until just before sunset and put on our packs for the mile hike back to camp. I was amazed when we walked past them sitting less than 50 feet away. The guy was definitely not a novice as he and his wife had the latest Swarvo optic's and he had a carbon fiber barrel on his rig.

They only come in Opti Fade

The stock one (which I'd like to keep) is gritty and has some take up (creep) I'd like to eliminate. Looking for a week or less.

Yeah, only Mel Gibson could pull that off.
