They should arrive anytime now. You guys are making me nervous!! My biggest concern is too much shake when using them without a tripod...binocs stay around my neck. Most of my glassing happens in a sitting position with my elbows locked into my knees so I'm hopeful it will be fine. No more...

Pulled the trigger today and got a pair from cameralandny.com:) great people there! Joel always gives a great deal and great service. Anyway, I struggled over deciding on the 10x or the 12x. I've used a pair of 10x50 slc's for 15 years and love them. I am a little worried about shake with...

Just found out that I drew an elk tag for 19a rifle. Do any of you guys know anything about this unit?

I have a pair of 10x50 SLCs that are about 10 yrs old. I LOVE them! I never really gave any thought to trading up. However, I am curious as to anyone's experience or thoughts about the new HD glass. I am starting to get an itch! Is it slightly better, marginally better, or out of this world...

I have a message into Phoneskope. Their website says their adaptor fits scopes up to 2.335" in diameter. The Zeiss is 2.322". Cutiing it pretty close!

I ordered a Meopta iPhone adaptor from Cabelas. it was supposed to fit my Zeiss....BUT it doesn't:(. I have the 20-75 eyepiece which is larger at 59mm. Meopta's largest is 57mm. Does anyone know a different manufacturer of this type of adaptor? I was really excited to bring it on my Utah elk...

His right side actually has a seventh point. What originally looks like a weak back, turns into a strong back. I think he makes 350 as is with a chance to be a 360-370 bull when all is said and done.

I actually pulled the 12 rifle tag last year. It was first choice again this year. Anyway, guess I was unlucky. The biggest bull I saw all week was the one I shot in the last 30 minutes of the hunt....went 310. I hope by saying I was unlucky doesn't come across as not appreciating the bull I...

My outfitter put in for 13 elk as a third choice....got it:). Just happy to get any tag and go hunting! Any big boys cruising this unti? I heard New Mexico has been in a drought the last couple of years....still the case? Either way, I'm going to give it my best shot and have a good time!

Depends on the auction and who's bidding. A general figure would be $10k for the Monroe and 15k for the Pahvant.

Hi all. Just wanted to get some opinions on these two units. I've saved some $ and am ready for a landowner tag! I notice that the Pahvant tags are more expensive. I think that the bulls there, on average, are a little bigger historically. But Ive heard that the tags on the Monroe have been...

Spent 7 days on the early rifle hunt. Lots of 350 bulls....but only a few bigger. Heard of a couple 390 bulls killed, but that was the exception by far! Still, fun hunt with lots of mature 350ish bulls. 93trojan

RE: HJB??? Saw that bull on opening morning. 1st bull I saw on the hunt! We got there early and had a truck with a lady pull up as we started up the hill. Public ground, so no complaints. By the time we spotted the bull, they were on their way to kill it. I wanted to move in, as they took...

Getting reports of a slow start to the rut. Been hard on the archery guys. Went out last night and saw 4 340sh bulls....2 and 2 together. They weren't around any cows. In fact, didn't see any cows at all. Unpacked this morning. Going to check the gun now and then do some more scouting...

Even at 41, I feel like a little kid heading off on his first hunt:). Hopefully, lady luck will shine on me and I'll be able to post some good horn porn for fellow MMers. Good luck to all with your hunting this year! 93trojan
