Hard to say if it will be only two weeks this year though. With the new system does anyone really know how long it will be? Maybe sooner. Maybe longer.

24a. If not, there are very similar ones right up above Superior.

BTW...Are you aware that your wife is a vampire? In your original pic she has no shadow....

Send it to the hunting mag and maybe they will give you a REAL pistol....lol

Congrats to a good friend and his wife. so much drama over a little picture...

Just because I forgot to add this.... (this video belongs to Adam so hopefully he doesn't mind)

Police released a picture of the thief: I had to....

Atta boy. Btw you have feiends with projectiles...

I remember those from when I was a kid. Hadn;t seen one since the dairy switched from bailing wire to string.

The winner will be anyone who doesn't watch it.

Many years ago I had one of the fancier chronos that would always have issues. I bought this on a whim just to try. I have been very happy with it. I have no idea if it is ACCURATE, but it is consistent and rarely has an error read.

Are you HAVING problems or just read about them and trying to avoid them? I have the same unit and have had zero issues in many different light situations.

Stop hunting at usery pass campground and you will get far less traffic.....

In the old system this is true. We have no idea about the new system. I am certain we will know after this draw though....

I like the green because it is "brighter" than the red without blowing out my night vision like a bright white light will do. It also gives good contrast for my illuminated reticles. I have a red handheld wildlife technologies xlr250 and a xlr 100. I use the handheld for scanning. Much easier than scanning with gun mounted. Red is much easier on the eyes and makes their eyes pop just fine. even the 100 is quite sufficient for eyes but the250 is obviously MUCH brighter. My green light is a DIY gun mounted with remote switch. I just bought a cheap super bright LED off amazon and swapped out the white led for a green led. Works great. I have no doubt this could be done for a red light as well. Much better and brighter than a red/green filter.

For coyotes at night I use both red and green lights. Red for scanning and green for lighting them up.

I own both infrared and thermal handheld devices. They are not legal for hunting in Az but they are legal for owning and using for other things. I have them because of my work. I have used them when we go for drives with the kids while out camping and on our property. You can hook them up to a tablet screen so everyone can see what is going on. It's really cool to see the animal's behavior at night when they think nobody can see them. I have never even THOUGHT about using them for scouting but not surprised the guides have. I am certian there are levels of cheating or using tools we normal people have never even TRIED to think of.....

Its all in good fun Del. I still like you. In a lets watch that train wreck kind of way....lol

My wife has one on her crossbow.....

I want to get a fancy security door made for my front door. Wife has been pestering me for YEARS

Anyone do iron security doors?

This is so unfair.....

So, no substance to back up anything just more of your misdirection and personal insults. Got it. Again, you accused my wife of "gaming the system" which I find quite insulting. My "feelings" are far from being hurt, however. I would actually have to care about anything you say to have me feelings hurt. If you need the difference between you "being insulting" and me "having my feelings hurt" explained to you I am certain there is a self help coloring book around somewhere I can refer you to. My point was, and still is, there is another side to every situation. An intelligent person would look at all sides. I was giving information for those who do not have the experience in this matter so that they could see how and why this particular rule can be beneficial. Many understood this. A few seem to want to make this about "feelings" and ignore the facts. Ironically you actually stated that feelings should be left out of it, yet that is ALL you have been posting, is YOUR feelings and ignoring the facts. How very liberal of you. So Del, can you have an intelligent discussion based on facts or is that beyond your capacity?

I've never glassed up anything cool or odd. I did have a roadrunner come right up to me and circle me while was glassing though. https://youtu.be/QqH5hlZmvOs

I admire your commitment to being wrong. Instead of acknowledging your mistakes you try to spin it. Very impressive. Lets be clear though, you ARE picking on my wife and you HAVE made this personal. You have specifically singled her out and you continue to say she is "finding a loophole" and "playing the system". That is very insulting as she has done NEITHER. If this is not the case then I accept your apology and we can move on. However, what you REFUSE to acknowledge is that this rule exists EXACTLY for people like my wife. There is no LOOPHOLE here. She qualifies and followed the rules to the letter AND the "spirit". What you have also have missed is that this uber lethal lazer guided assault crossbow of hers has killed exactly ZERO animals. So much for it giving her an advantage. Yes Del, I DO have a vested interest which is why I am trying to educate those who know little or nothing about it that there IS a legitimate purpose for these permits. Are they being abused? PROBABLY. So are other things like the point system. Yet to date I have not seen a SINGLE SHRED OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE to support this hatred of crossbows. Have harvest percentages gone up as a direct result of the introduction of this permit? Have archery draw odds gone down as a direct result of this permit? You have done ZERO research on this to support your propaganda. Yes, plenty of anecdotal stories, but no facts. As YOU said " making excuse's and throwing in emotion to justify things isnt really fair in most cases. " I quoted you directly so that you would not state I was changing your words. For the record: I am not a fan of the point system. I feel there are those that do not follow the "spirit" of the rules and it DOES affect the draw odds. I DO like trail cams but I feel like they are being abused and causing issues and something needs to be done. An outright ban is not the answer but lack of ethics amongst some users are causing it to head that way. Whatever the new rules may be, I have ZERO doubt someone will exploit them , then EVERYONE will until it is regulated out. I am a fan of the crossbow permit as it allows less than able hunters to enjoy the same hunt as the rest of us. If there is evidence of abuse that affects the quality of our hunting opportunities, it should be regulated and changed. To date there is NONE. IF they become an issue, I will be happy to change my position on the matter to see additional regulation to weed out the cheaters. What do these three issues have in common? On the surface they are all tools meant to benefit hunters. They have ALL been abused by greedy selfish individuals(allegedly). Lack of ethics is the problem, not the tools. Isn't that what we have been screaming at liberals for years? Punish the criminal not the tool? I will agree with you on THIS though Del, hate the game NOT the player. Especially those that play by the rules both in letter AND spirit. Hate those who display a lack of ethics don;t shame those who are not as physically able as you and choose a different method of hunting. I am absolutely supportive of different opinions. Every single person has the inalienable right to be wrong. HATE the poachers and enablers. ALWAYS
