Very nice. Great shot.

Keith, Prayers sent man. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do to help out. Keep us posted on any updates.

I completely understand the need for something stable (and quick) to rest a rangefinder on. Especially for long distances or with a bad case of the "shakes". I'm at a loss for what to come up with as I would prefer to keep my bino's on the tripod, unless he could come up with something that would go on his quick release plates. (?) I also don't know how much I would be willing to pay for something like this. Would have to be reasonable.

Cool pics, especially the chase. Wonder how they reacted after the flash went off.

With a goatee he looks just like Gonzo from the D-Backs too! Congrats again man. It will be cool to see what Woody does with him. Now that's what I call a VACATION!

That was the funnest part of the trail. Makes ya pucker on the way up, looking straight at sky, then a hard turn to the left so you didn't fall off the cliff!

Are hunters managing their own deer herds?
Chef posted a topic in Miscellaneous Items related to Coues Deer
As every hunting season comes and goes, not only do I notice the caliber of coues bucks harvested getting better, but the quantity of good bucks taken gets larger. I think these discussion forums contribute greatly to trophy hunter education. Are we not getting better at judging bucks in the field? From seeing pictures posted with scores, to "guess the score" contests, we must be. What I see happening more often is hunters letting bucks "walk". Betting on their abilities to find and kill a bigger buck, and being okay with eating tag soup if we don't. Basically letting smaller bucks, get bigger, Of course, we all become better hunters (hopefully) as hunts go by. Maybe that contributes also, but with better glassing techniques becoming the norm, attention to rifle /caliber/ scope selections, and the confidence to make educated shots by using rangefinders etc. we must be, in some way, policing ourselves. In turn, the units we hunt in, slowly become better with the chances at a 100" coues buck being better. I thought this would make good discussion, plus I wanted to hear different takes on this. Discuss. -
Fantastic write up and stellar pictures! Aaryn, I'm glad you took the time to give it to us in your own words. From the sounds of it, you are well on your way to being a great huntress. I know your Dad is as proud of you as you are of yourself, and you should be. You know that feeling you got right after you downed your pig with that first shot? I always tell people that I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. It doesn't always come together on hunts, but I'm glad it did for you. I hope you continue hunting, finding success, and sharing it with us. Congratulations girl!

Will you be wearing these mostly around your neck for hand held scanning? On a tripod? Quality between the two not being an issue, the magnification is of concern. It's tough to hold 12 power stable when hand held, even the 10 power comes alive on a tripod. Strictly hand held= 10x Tripod= 12x
