hope we get to see some pics soon!

I've used my husbands 15s and I have the 10x50EL. I love my 10x50. I can hand hold them when out & about or put them on tripod for greater distances. they are my every day binos. the clarity is unbelievable.

I've seen a hybrid down south (G&F confirmed via pics) go with the tail as ID.

ill bet Amanda knows if this is a fact. a couple years ago i really tried on a 100+ coues but after watching him for months on camera he was a no show come hunting time.

that was awesome! totally natural & all you had to say was "hey big boy" to get it to leave. I really want to see one but I definitely don't want to be threatened by one. I carry my bear mace and a sidearm just in case though.

So how do I talk my husband into spending $500 on Kuiu? should be a one time purchase that would help me be prepared and comfortable while out and about outdoors. Hmmmmm.

that's a great deer for a junior! I'd be very happy with that buck! great job!

what exists over $150?

u gotta remember not all LEO or GW take your cameras and the one who was on the other thread regarding the aid of vehicles is definitely NOT one of them. now if u bolt directly into a tree that's a different story. that is clearly not supposed to be done. has anyone here ever had one taken by F'S, LEO, or GW? Ive seen a pic of one of them peeing (maybe on a salt block) . I think the majority of the THIEVES are either fellow hunters , campers, or tree huggers. just my 2 cents.

wow! I'm quickly realizing there are way more bears. out there than I had previously thought. great pics!

+1 I've done it only once myself at 30 yrds so when my groups are tight I move to different spot.

+1 you lost A LOT of weight. A huge Congrats! I'm sure your new body impacts your form.

how exciting! Congrats!

nice they are out and I still didn't get drawn but that's okay. I've got the elk hunt!

this is my first rut hunt (actually 1st time even hopefully being a part of the rut). never even been in the forest during the rut. schools usually back in and DH is usually up helping people get bulls. we have1 person who really knows how to call. we will be there for 2 weeks and he can only do 1week. there are 3 in our hunting party who have tags and caller doesn't have a tag. I've never even tried calling except for the hoochie mama. u all may don't think it works (seems to be the consensus in the hunting world anyhow) but I've called in cows to within 10 yards not during the rut. where do I start? I'd like to partner with the caller but I'm giving DH the caller. its been over 10 years since he's had a rut hunt himself. that will leave me and captain who both don't know how to call. DH bought me and him a large bugle but I haven't tried it yet. seems kinda inconvenient to carry with a bow too.

thank u. hope to talk to you again soon

my husband has his own room too but yours is super organized! you have a nice setup!

I sure wouldn't mind putting my tag on him

I'm in the same boat with my FIL who had a stroke one month ago with left sided paralysis. he got drawn for deer too. its a tag he's tried for for a long time. we can pray he'll get arm use back by then.

great bear! way to keep at it and so awesome your girl was there too. hopefully she will be hunting bears someday too!

pics plz!

not a care in the world. what a difference between the predator and the prey...lol

Thx for asking. My son has not had the biopsy done yet. He's 18 now and gets to make his own medical decisions. All I can do is encourage him to do the right thing. My FIL is working hard. It's a very slow recovery process and he has made some progress. We will continue to hope and work for more.
