If you could be on the look out for any of these items I would appreciate it. Good luck to all on your hunt's and thank you,

Scotty and Larry, I would very much like to meet up with you guy's some time...How about beer's at my house? Feel free to bring your own hand gun's, just incase.

Thank you all for your support and well wishes. I'm glad this thread is having a positive impact on all who have read it. It's my belief if we all are more vigalant, these crimes will be stopped. THERE IS NO I IN TEAM!

Also, not only will you need you serial #'s for your gun's but for your optics, electronics, and pic's of everything would be great. What I did was video tape me holding each gun while reading the serial #. I gave a copy to the insurance, one to the police and kept one for myself. M y problem is I hadn't updated the video in several years.

I live in Bel Air Ranch. My insurance will cover 15k towards guns and optics, this however, will not cover the replacement of all of the gun's. In speaking with the detective, the Northeast side of Tucson is a hot bed for break-in's. Bolt your safe to the the floor and wall, have a security system, and speak with your neighbors and encourage them to be vigalant. I live on a main street in my subdivision with a lot of traiffic and so far, no one has seen a thing. This day in age, are lives are hectic. We no longer seem to know our neighbors well, we don't know what type of car they drive, what there work schedules are, or even seem to notice or care when 6 guy's are loading a 1700lbs gun safe into the back of a truck.

Amanda, I've heard they can cut out the back as it's the weakest point due to the fact they are normally bolted to the floor or wall. However they get it opened, it won't be easy. I've also heard about them useing air torches to cut the safe open, but this is a very expensive tool. Scott- No alarm system at the time, but am installing one now.

Great job!!! Very nice deer!

Dan- They used a dolly and took the safe among other things; for instance, the stole my daughters piggy banks, the wifes jewlery...

Great job! Now let's hear the story.

You know if I were you Scott, I would hold of another year or so. See you in Jan.

Not yet, but I'm looking. WOW, what a buck.

I didn't know there was any access issues. Most of the unit NF. Good luck.

Nice pic's, quite a variety! Welcome to CWT.

Have you read Ben Lilly's book? Fantastic, one of my fav's!

Really nice buck, it really got my heart puping! Is it me, or are you posting monsters every year? Congrats on getting pic's and good luck getting your tag on him.

Sorry guy's, I i'm going to buck the trend...35b late nov. Fill free to bring some back straps by, I'll supply the beer.

WOW Scott. what a huge bear! You are right, I need to come and visit. With all the critters you've got around your house, one would think you live at the Desert Musem.

Congrats on your draw! I had that hunt a few years ago, HAD A BLAST! Good luck,

WOW, what a spread.

Very nice bull no matter what it scores.

Hey Jeff, First let me say thank you for your service for our great country. Know that you are in our daily prayers. We have never met, but I remember a pic you posted several years ago. The pic was of two bucks stairing at each other, but it really looked like one buck looking into a mirror. Thanks again, good luck, and God's speed,

Nothing really to add that most of you have not covered. I do most of my practicing out to 100 yards, as it makes closer shots easier. Like most of us I've mist my fare share of critters, mostly due to rushed shots. When I have time to range, pick a spot, and a easy triger pull my max distance on any animal is 70 yards. I do suffer from "target panic" and have tried variouse ways to try to duplicate the rush of looking at a critter through my peep during practice sessions. Through practice and more experience over the last 20 years I've been able to control it.

Sweet find! I hate seeing that though.
