the two on the couch look like they just had an argument....

I really like the triclawps for its versatility. I used it for many years and still use one for certain situations. Over the past year I have converted most everything to arca swiss rails, heads and clamps. Lighter, faster and more stable. I can go from binos to rifle to camera etc in seconds. There are also a few shooting systems out that use arca swiss and/or picatinny rails to mount directly to a ball type head for an incredibly stable platform. we used this from field optics research on my sons first deer hunt. BIG fan of the system.

Oh....and I do know Steve likes to "match the hatch" with coloration of the local fauna so DM me with were you found them and I'll pass it on to him...............

I know he has been ruining like crazy with tags this fall. He may be out scouting for his boy's sheep tag but let me try to find him. If Steve is too busy, Adam did some dang good coloring on some horns of mine. Brian is dang good too. I wouldn't hesitate to have either of them color em up.

Steve is my neighbor and good friend. He does good work. mostly replicas. has some awesome stuff in his shop.

well done. She's awesome.

sounds like you raised her right.

I may actually have one laying around. BUT....If you cant find what you are looking for look into these. I was having a hard time finding one for a scope and bought these and I like them better than the factory screw-on type. https://www.amazon.com/CenterPoint-74854-Universal-Riflescope-Sunshade/dp/B00IVKBH9E

I dont have one of these but I do have an onboard conpressor on my truck. Will never own another truck without one. Not what the op asked but another option.

I have always enjoyed journaling my noteworthy hunts on here both for posterity and entertainment. Although this is not MY hunt, it is noteworthy as it is my sons FIRST hunt. Not just of deer but of ANYTHING.. My son has never shown ANY interest in hunting. ZERO. Not even in VIDEO GAMES. I mean ZEEEERO. So when he said he would be interested in applying for the deer draw I was somewhat surprised. I think we were ALL shocked when he actually got drawn. I spent a LOT of time planning and preparing and begging for advice (a HUGE thank-you to all that sent info to me) I had a pretty good game plan of how to get him a deer. All that went out the window after we learned he is HORRIBLE at shooting. We practiced and practiced and got help from some extremely good teachers(not me) but he just couldn't find the rhythm. He developed a pretty bad flinch even with the lightest of deer rifles. So I switched him to my 223ar and locked him into a pretty decent tripod system(field optics research) to help with the flinch and stability. He was shooting good this way but it severely limited our range and options for hunting. I decided we would be limited to 100 yds or less and in a controlled environment. So that means sitting water. So now our epic journey begins,,,,,, Day one. Opening morning. It's over. The end. Our view curios visitor The best part of the entire hunt for HIM The end...... Sat until 10 am when it started getting hot and I figured they might come get a drink. First saw the above doe and watched her for quite awhile. Then another and another. Eventually two small bucks showed up. There was a larger buck farther back behind the water hole but Easton could not see it well. The small one was standing broadside at 80 yds. After about 5 min of watching and waiting for the bigger buck he decided the little one was good enough. Calm as a rock he he went through the process we practiced. Pretty much a bang flop. I was a "little" nervous about the 223 but it WRECKED that little deer. Never had a chance. He was a ROCK. ZERO nerves. ME on the other hand. I was a nervous wreck. Took me forever to calm down. I was so bad I for got to video it. Oh, I HAD the camera set up and I turned it on. I even followed the deer around for 5 min all the way through the shot. I just neglected hitting the record button. I so totally suck at video. It is my Achilles heel. About 5 min after the shot 2 buggies came up the trail. I think if he waited for the bigger buck any longer we might have gotten nothing. I commended him for his good call and his excellent shooting. Funniest part of the entire event was afterwards. I asked if he had fun and he said it was awesome. I asked if he wanted to do it again and without pause and very emphatically he said... Nope. Oh well. We'll see,,,,,

redemption is awesome. looks like he has a cool rifle too.

very cool.

I've got a couple video heads with manfrotto plates. One is an amazon knockoff and it has been flawless. They are big and heavy but super solid.

Limited Edition H1 2 seater 4x4 Just tuned up for the season. New battery, new oil, new diff oil, new spark plug and air filter. STREET Legal 2 seater with removable back seat. Super comfortable according to my wife. WAS street legal but I have not registered it for many years. Winch in front and tow hitch in back. Will need new tires soon but still went anywhere I wanted it to go. I didn't shine it all up so you can see how it was actually maintained. I really have ZERO idea what these things are worth so I will start at $4500 and see where it goes from there.

new pics and $3500

Axis Works is in Tempe and I've never heard a bad word about them. Todd with Southern Xpress in mesa has threaded several rifles and handguns for me and they are straight and true. I have given my money to both of these.

great pic. very cool perspective
