    Rancher Showdown

    and somewhere I read that there were fines levied on the ranchers due to harming tortoise habitat and that was when he quit with paying the grazing lease to the Feds, he is the last rancher left, all the others have been run off. Here is one you may not have seen, going to be great for all the wildlife in the area isn't it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYszv9-wMbs and here is a little background on BLM, did you know they get to make up the rules as they go along and it is law? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAwALTdrMZ8

    Optics

    what is the hurry, season doesn't open for a few more months, put aside $50 a month until right before your hunt and you will be able to afford better quality, that way you won't look to be upgrading them in a year or two I say this having given away a couple of pair of "these ain't what I want but will work till I get what I want" bino's

    want a killer discount on big name brands???

    and a lot of companies have programs they don't advertise, contact them directly and usually provide a copy of your cards, license, etc.

    Girls and Hunting

    getting to this late, women tagged along on Mom's side of the family but didn't shoot until she hooked up with my Dad, he bought her a .244Rem and it was gung ho after that. I started my daughters shooting when they were young and started them hunting when they were 10 & 12. We had many a great hunt together over the years, just the 3 of us. Good memories. Women hunted on Dad's side just to make sure there was meat on the table if the men were tied up with work. A funny family story, my Great Grandma Annie was a short little Shoshone woman, stood about 4'8". On a family type sheep hunt up Dinwoody Canyon in Wy the guys told Grandma Anne she couldn't go out that day, she had to hang around around camp because they were going into some real rough country and she was too old. So off they went and she hunted around camp with the 30-30. When the guys got back that night just beat they were looking for some food, hoping all day long Grandma had it ready for them. Well she did, big stew in a dutch oven, but she told the guys you aren't getting any of this until you go pack my sheep back to camp. Yep, while the guys were off killing themselves she shot a nice ram from camp, field dressed it and stashed it in the shade. She didn't let them forget that story for a long, long time.

    Rehydrating an non tanned pelt

    I worked at a tannery in HS for a while, the hides would come in stretched, salted and dried, they were were in a big saltwater vat for about a week before they got to working on them. So I suggest that, use non-iodized salt, but you need to agitate it and check on it at least once a day. If you soak it too long it will cause the hair to slip.

    Binocular Choice

    kind of a 'yes' answer, either one will do the trick, may boil down to price difference and warranty, while both are good Vortex would get your stuff back quicker, at least based on reports that have to use the warranty
