    Hunters n Ranchers

    Agree. Respect goes a long, long way. What I often find in AZ is ranchers who don’t own the land, but lease grazing rights then treat it like private property. I’ve never really looked into it very deeply and just assumed they were in the right by posting the land. OnX app has helped a lot at least for knowing who owns the property though.

    16 years ago my life changed

    Good stuff man. You’re doing it right. Mine is 11 going on 16 soon enough, so I’m right there with you. I pray every day we stay as close through the teen years as we are now.

    Gender reveal party?

    Funny idea...poor execution given the dry conditions and wind. He did man up and call it in as soon as it happened. Doesn’t make it any less stupid though.

    Youth Camp in 36A, 36B and 36C-AZSCI

    I saw one really nice 36C coues in camp opening morning and a big-bodied 36B mulie forky that evening. I'm sure there were several other successful hunters that I missed. I didn't get any pics of the camp or volunteers, but it was a great setup as always. The new location is great too thanks to Buenos Aires refuge. We had a great couple days...my buddy's daughter tagged out on a coues forky in 36A Sunday morning with a long steep climb to pack it out. I'll see if he doesn't mind me posting a pic since it's his kid and not mine. Almost scored a double...my daughter had the second buck in her scope, but it was skylined so no shot. Then it went over and disappeared.

    The Game!!

    Listened to most of the first half in camp. Chased coues after that and came back to a surprise. Can’t believe the cats blew that lead. Okay yeah I can...just like my Vols let Vandy beat them again.

    Opening day tomorrow

    Daughter’s hunt opens tomorrow. I think I’m more excited than I am the night before my own hunts! Good luck to all the youth hunters, and if you’re at the 36abc youth camp we’ll see you there tomorrow.

    FFP VS 2ND FP, POI change

    I guess I missed that question completely. LoL i’ve never heard that before and wouldn’t make logical sense to me. Single point (ie crosshairs dead center) shouldn’t change relative to the image size.

    FFP VS 2ND FP, POI change

    I think it’s a serious question, though maybe not worded well. And good luck triggering Kev. LoL check out this video...explains the difference and may answer your question. http://www.vortexoptics.com/video/first_vs_second_focal_plane i think you’re asking on a 2nd focal plane how much difference there will be if you’re using BDC type reticle at less than max magnification. I’ve never seen specific data on this, but could easily shoot a little and find out for your rifle. I guess it could be off (high I think...but only one cup of coffee on-board) by as much as 4x the drop between each reticle subtension if you were shooting at 4x instead of 16x for example. On youth hunt last year, my buddy’s daughter missed a buck at about 250 yds and didn’t even see where she hit. After the shot he realized he had turned down the zoom to help her find the buck in the scope, then didn’t turn it back up before the shot using one of the BDC subtensions. Lots of other factors and that wasn’t her only miss on that hunt, but if that’s any indication the POI was different enough to completely miss. Maybe I’m crazy too, but I think this is what Kev is asking and the question makes sense to me.

    My first coues buck!

    Awesome buck...congrats! I like that last pic too.
  23. Is there a way besides Basecamp to export Garmin GPS waypoints to OnX? (I haven't used Basecamp with my Garmin in years and don't really want to mess with it at this point to export waypoints) Or from Google Earth?
