    Spotting scopes angled versus straight

    I've used both and I prefer straight for my hunting style. It all boils done to personal preference really. In general if you do majority of your glassing in an upward angle then an angled scope would probably be more comfortable for longer use. If you do most of your glassing looking down steep angles then a straight scope would probably be best.

    WTB: 35x12.5r16.5 BFG AT KO

    Might be a long shot but I'm looking for a 35x12.5r16.5 BFG AT KO within an hour drive of Sierra Vista. Would prefer at least 25% remaining tread on the tire. If you happen to have one please let me know. Thanks!

    From Spike....to Death

    Very cool indeed! I never knew about the whitetails skeletal frame being done growing by the age of 3.5 years thus having a significant jump in antler growth the following year. I wonder if this is the same for coues? If so that would be some would be good to good info to know.

    WTB: 35x12.5r16.5 BFG AT KO

    The tire doesn't need to be a BFG. Any tire that will fit a 16.5 rim that is close to the same size as a 35 inch BFG with at least 25% remaining tread will do. Thanks!

    The Left Over Luck Buck

    Short and sweet! After reading your story I'd say you pick a great title for this thread. Congrats on your very nice leftover luck buck.
  17. Awesome buck young man! From Creed's description sounds like the future of hunting is in good hands with this young hunter. It's always good to see that there are young hunters out there like him.

    Had a Successful Year of Hunting

    What a great looking coues! I really like the side view of your buck. Hard to beat hunting with family. Even though we didn't kill much some of my best hunting memories are the ones hunting with my dad. Congrats to you and your dad!
  19. This is by no means an insult to the guys who suggested this but I'm having a hard time seeing how a change in the current bonus system could in anyway help increase animal numbers. Every other suggestion made I can see how it might help increase our herds but the bonus point system change has me stumped. I would also like to add this hypothetical thought if the G&F does in fact lower the tag numbers and raise the cost of said tags then how long would it take until they raise the tag numbers back up but keep the higher price of the tags? I can see how a drastic increase in tag costs like this could cause more bad than good especially for your run of the mill common hunter that have a hard enough time as it is forking down the cash for a tag at current prices.
