    Kitties 2013

    Although I detest U of A fans, still root for the cats when playing out of state teams. Sooooo for all you cat fans: too bad, so sad. lol

    ASU/ Wisconsin

    No doubt the officials screwed up. Wisconsin QB did not help his teams situation by placing the ball on the ground. Obviously it confused both the officials and the Devil defense. Precious time was lost. Devils did outplay Wisconsin but in the end Wisconsin put themselves in position to win. Too bad the officials stole their opportunity. Wisconsin faithful have a right to be livid. As a devil fan, I was appalled by coaching decisions coming from our sideline. Graham and his assistants need to evaluate themselves after this one. Devils should have had a double digit win on Saturday night.

    100 elk killed- Crazy!

    Hope it's not some highly virulent pathogen. BTW, is it my imagination or is that a big ol' bear dining on that carcass?

    Smith and Wesson Model 57 .41 Mag

    Sweet shooter, got a 657 myself. No longer made in 8-3/8". Took me two years to find a 8-3/8". Good luck with the sale.

    Louis Dees Desert Bighorn

    I've got a copy of Tom Saad's book Kofa Kings. Tom has a full page photo of the Dees ram and another page devoted to it and the Rudd ram also taken on the Kofa in 65. Horn lengths, base and 1st quarter measurements are mentioned for both rams. The Dees ram is still the biggest known sheep to come from the Kofa. Book claims the ram was taken in Surprise canyon.

    Sighting in my bow, and getting frustrated...

    A relaxed shot is the goal. Be honest with yourself, if you are uncomfortable and stressing at the point of release that is likely your grouping problem. Let the bow do the work. Relax and let the shot happen.

    road hunting

    A good friend of mine was killed by a "road hunter" (in NY), the guy took a shot at a buck in a field and missed the deer hitting my friend center chest as he sat in the treeline.... So Yeah, I have no love for "roadhunters"... A "hunter"running the roads, dirt or paved, looking to shoot game is NOT hunting, and is no better then poachers looking to take the easy way...IMHO MuleDeerArea33 I respect your efforts to continue hunting for your Dad, but your method is not only illegal, but very dangerous... My only issue with road hunters IS the safety issue. Especially with firearms. Road hunters happen onto a situation and are totally focused on the game at hand and are oblivious to anything else. BTW, road hunting has been perfected by Utah bow hunters. Those of you who've been there know what I'm talking about. lol

    Spotter or 15's???

    I'd say get a quality spotter. Tripod mounted 10x42's are very capable. A spotter (atmospheric conditions withstanding) will x-ray hillsides at long range, verify trophy quality, etc. Spotters take some getting used to and with practice it's not difficult to use one all day. Many times I've glassed areas with 15's then broke out the spotter and found bedded game that the bino's did not reveal. Magnification has it's place.

    Swarovski 15x56 SLC Sale!

    Hopefully the new generation will have more than 15mm eye relief.

    Glass repair

    I strongly recommend you send them to Swarovski. Other than OEM's there are only a handful of reliable bino repair facilities in the US. None in AZ that I am aware of.

    help with spotting scope

    I've not heard of a 60mm Swaro scope (that does not mean much). Could be the older ST or AT 80 which are gray in color. Great scopes which usually go for $800 +/-. HD go for a little more. You might consider getting a serial # and emailing Swarovski USA. Likely they'll get back to you within 24 hours. Good luck.

    Likely they'll be at the sheep society hunter orientation. You'll be hearing from the sheep society soon.

    Good deal on CL

    I recently acquired some used swaro binos. Contacted swaro USA prior to sale with serial # and received an answer within 24 hours. Definitely worth doing. Also verified year of manufacture, etc.

    Modded Diesel Roll Call

    I've got a 03 6.0, in spite of all the bad press I've had good service to 150K. Suspect I've developed some injector issues and will be spending some coin soon. I'm curious, who is doing your work?
