Recommendations for digiscope connection: iphone to scope/binos
AZHUNTER05 replied to Chris's topic in Optics and tripods
The tines up scope cam is far better in my opinion. Once you purchase the full kit, you can just upgrade the actual cell phone case every year for $8. Check them out. http://www.scopecamadapter.com/ -

I have the tines up scope cam and it works extremely well. You can keep the case on year round because the adapter screws on and off. -
+1 for Gravediggers

+1000 Those Barnett blinds are very well made, but they have this same exact problem ^^^

Why would you put that information on a public forum with the specific unit?

Taking my son up north to play in the snow this weekend. Looking for any good spots closer to the valley then flagstaff. Any suggestions on where to go? Thx

Congrats, and sweet shirt 👍

That's exactly why I won't bugel!

That's radios. It also says you can't use a rangefinder attached to your bow. I would imagine that a range finding sight would be included as being attached. But idk, just a thought.

It's interesting, but I would assume any animal killed while using it would not be accepted into the record books.

Nice buck 👍! What did he tape out at?
-
Around $350 or so.

Awesome bull! Stop being one of those "I'm offended morons". If you don't like it, then don't do it. If people would just stop worrying about what everyone else in this world was doing, and just concentrated on what they are doing, we would be a whole lot better off.

Congrats again man! I'm anxiously waiting to hear the score 👍.

Well, to my surprise I drew a Archery antelope tag in 18b with very few bonus points! To say I was surprised was an under statement! After months of scouting and shooting 1000's of arrows I felt pretty confident I was going to tag out in the first few days. Once the hunt started I had found that all the antelope i had been watching all summer had left the areas they were in and I had to start over from scratch. Luckily I grew up hunting the unit and i was able to relocate them rather quickly. However, locating them was the easy part, getting within 100 yards is just about impossible . I spent the first 5 days of the hunt getting busted after long hot stalks. I was able to close the distance on two smaller bucks and get shots, but missed both times. On the 6th day of my hunt, another tag holder told me he had filled his tag sitting water and gave me permission to use his blind, which i gladly accepted. I sat in his blind the next day until the rain came in and chased me out. I went back to camp thinking my day was over with, but the rain finally cleared up enough for me to get out for a few hours before dark. I drove out to an area where i was watching a good buck, i was unable to locate it so i decided to head over to another area before heading to camp. As i was driving i looked over and spotted a large heard of antelope feeding on the edge of a pasture, providing me with a great opportunity for a stalk. i drove out of sight and approached them from behind oak brush and junipers. As I closed the distance on the heard, i saw two big bucks feeding away from the doe's in my direction. I dropped my pack and moved into position for a shot. The first buck walked out and gave me a perfect broadside shot, but i held off for the second buck because it was bigger and much closer. After few minutes of the other buck not making an appearance, I looked on the other side of the tree and found he had changed directions and was heading back to the does. Once I knew the other buck was not coming, I ranged my buck, drew back, and let one fly! The arrow hit it's mark and the buck ran 40 yards before piling up in eye sight. This was by far the most work and dedication I have ever put into harvesting any animal in my life, and it was well worth it! Harvesting an antelope with a bow has to be one of the most difficult things you can do! I definitely found a new addiction, but unfortunaly it's so hard to draw tags here in AZ. Hopefully i can get lucky enough to draw a tag again in the near future . I was hunting by myself when i took my buck, so i had to load it up quickly and head over to camp where another hunter was gracious enough to take some photo's for me. I'm still waiting for my taxidermist to score my buck, but he estimated it to be around 80". Good luck to all the other tag holders in the up coming hunts!

Anyone can use your picture if you put it online.

Outdoor edge is a way better knife then the havalon. I have both and the blades on the havalon become dull rather quickly and they snap easily. The blades on the outdoor edge are solid blades and exchanging them is much easier.
