ibowhuntaz Report post Posted January 17, 2011 Do you have any additional info that might help, by went missing do you mean lost, presumed stolen, fell out of Vehicle? Might make a difference in how they could be looked for maybe. Ron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzHuntingAddict Report post Posted January 18, 2011 Some additional info. Still unclear asto exactly where though. "This past weekend I was up near Payson, AZ archery deer hunting and my new Kowa Highlander Prominar Fluorite Lens 32x82 Binocular Optics are missing. They were in a Pelican case that's attached to a outdoorsman back pack along was my brunton tripod." They went back to look where it may have been left and found nothing. It is believed they were picked up and are in someones hands now, hopefully they will come forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glassm'up Report post Posted January 18, 2011 I will tell everyone I know. That has to be horrible. It would be like someone taking your vehicle. I just looked up these binos online and to get everything that he has missing would cost him around $6,000.00. I hope there is a good ending to this story. Keep us up to date, sooner or later someone has to run into the individual out in the field or trying to sell them. I will be watching out for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
