I was admiring Scottyboy's recent post on his last African adventure recently. I greatly enjoyed his writing on the hunt, but mostly his play by play picture story. I'm guilty as charged of not always "stopping to smell the roses" and take a picture. I seem to get caught up in the hunt and later regret not taking more photographs. I know how much effort it takes to constantly record the experience and appreciate it immensely when a few like Scott take the time. Between the picture taking and the storytelling, I feel like I'm actually there. Phil Cramer is fantastic at that and actually kicks it up a notch with game cam pics and video! Talk about dedication to the forum! I have indeed stopped on occasion and snapped a pic or two all the while thinking of the forum. I just wanted to thank those that consistently take such great pics, write awesome stories, and share them with us all. The quality of hunt stories on this board has improved tremendously over the years. Keep up the admirable work guys!

Cute kid. Nice to record those events. He might turn out to be a better fisherman than his old man! He'll have his Mom to thank! j/k

That's cool. You do a great job of editing and mixing in the music.

Yeah, it seems to be a stellar year for the fishin!

Very nice. Love the pic of the pit bull...er...I mean, Boston Terrier!

Gorgeous views. I can only imagine the feeling of waking up to them everyday!

Like I stated earlier...GREAT JOB GUYS AND GALS! Makes the forums so much more...uh...addicting!

Maybe next time Amanda. Hopefully others can help out but I'll be busy that weekend. I still need to do my part and help you out at one of your booths though.

Whatever you do, don't go off of brand name alone. Ernesto made the most impportant point in this entire thread...that is, manufacturers will make different "grades" of products. I see it time after time, people buy a "BRAND X" because of it's reputation, at a great price. Truth is, they probably purchased a "residential" model which is pure and solid JUNK. Excuse me for being harsh but, I expect things to last a while if I'm paying good money for them. These "category B & C" models are jokes. Spend the extra $ and buy a professional use unit. The same applies to most all handheld power equipment. Trimmers, edgers, etc. The sticker on the unit will tell you if it's a category A,B or C. A 300 hr unit is considered an "A". Look at the sticker, it's hidden in there, believe me.

Good find. Any side views of the fronts?

I've met some pretty nice people from the White Mountain Apache tribe. They do appreciate what they have and know the value of it. I too wish I could hunt on that reservation.

I'll put the check in the mail on Monday Amanda. Thanks.

Nate...Is that a mullet?! Oh no ...my bad...that's a bass.

Put me down for 4 Amanda. Thanks!

great.

Smokin' deal on the big binos. Do they have the Passport warranty? Is it transferable?

Dude! Looks like you guys put the smack down on the elephants! Good thing you got your B-Day bull too. Nice present to yourself. I can only imagine the feeling of killing TWO bulls in one hour too. "Have you ever seen an elephant in Africa?" "Yeah, I killed three...that's how I roll." Congrats again Buddy!

Very nice. For some that missed these pics in the other post... http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...st&p=140486

What did he score SCI?

I attended the show on Saturday and had the pleasure of meeting Nate and holding the impressive rack of his monster coues buck. Amanda scored it for B&C as I was there. Took some pics for you fellow CWers that couldn't make it.

Don't know how many have seen this but I found it interesting. Pretty cool level of service from Swaro. Thought you folks would enjoy reading it as much as I did. http://www.juliezickefoose.com/blog/labels...ki%20Optic.html

I purchased the large Bino Pouch today. I am happy to report that the large version fits both the Swaro 15x and the Leica Duovids 10x-15x perfectly. (actually with room to spare on my Leicas) I feel confident this will finish my tiring battle with the swaying and constant "lengthening" from my bouncy bino system I've always used. I like the fact that I can take them out of the pouch and use them with no straps attached. This is also perfect for getting them on a tripod quickly. Thanks Amanda!

Cow Elk Urine Wafers will usually keep them at bay.

Wow, that IS pretty good vid. Amanda, will you have these for sale this weekend at the ISE show?
