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

Stinky, It is what it is...gotta accept it. Told you, I'll take him off your hands. I'm a meat hunter:)

Hell Stinky...if you end up finding a 340 bull, go ahead and push that one over to Unit 12. I'll take care of him for ya! Going to the Pahvant and also got lucky and drew Unit 12. Probably won't even lay eyes on one that big! Good for you man....and good luck! 93trojan

Should have been more specific. It is a straight body to be used for hunting. Sitting would be the most often position being used.

Just bought myself a Father's Day present! Got a demo unit from cameralandny for a nice discount. I was surprised to see the costs of the zeiss tripods. I'll get one if necessary, just wanted your guys' advice before I make a purchase. Thanks in advance

I've made up my mind...daddy is bringing his new toy!:). Thank you for all of your opinions. The 338 is also going to get used this year...I have another elk hunt in Utah this year. I'm a lucky guy! Hopefully, I'll be able to come back and give you first hand info on the performance of both...

Warren, Good point...that's why it's tough. I have a designated elk rifle, while trying to talk myself into using something else. Kinda like taking a .243 on a trophy mule deer hunt and leaving your .300 win mag at home. The .243 will do fine in ideal circumstances....the .300 will do fine in...

That's why I'm asking what you guys think. I shoot 225 ttsx out of my 338. I actually bought this gun for elk/moose. I got the 6.5 for deer etc and like the concept of the Bergers for lighter game....never used them before, but like idea. Just got a new toy and want to use it. If anything...

How has the Spring weather been around Richfield/LE elk units? It was relatively mild here in California in Winter....then a good amount of moisture in March and April. Hopefully, it passed through and hit you guys.

Got a great New Mexico elk tag:). I have a 338 win mag for elk, but I just got my new Gunwerks 6.5x284 that runs 140 grain Bergers. I'm really itching to use it this year, but I don't have any plans for any deer size game this year. Would you guys feel comfortable bringing this setup in a...

Fiveyearcoueshunter, You got me. I checked my account and saw -760. I told everyone that I didn't draw. I even started looking for other hunts....frantically I might add! Well, just got home and checked my email. Tom from BMO hunts.....congratulations! Etc etc. I should probably thank you...

15 points...so I'm hoping to draw one in the next few years. I hear about various guides from different units...but just Mossback on the pahvant. Just curious more than anything.

I know Mossback has a big presence on the Pahvant. What other guides/outfitters get it done on the big bulls?

I only have experience in Mexico, but I think the same rules apply. Cats are definitely a big concern for us. They kill a lot of adult deer, and more bucks than does. However, the biggest problem affecting overall population are coyotes. They kill 80-90% of the fawns down there....most...

Mtnman, I meant no disrespect. We're all mule deer lovers here. I was more attacking the technology/computer info that seemed to "prove" this was a 30" buck. It reminded me of "Fast Al" using the computer to preach to us about global warming. First thing they teach you about computers is...

Mntman, I should use your measuring method for my you know what! I still don't believe I can talk my wife into thinking it's 10 inches!! That buck's ears MIGHT make 20 inches laid flat out. Give him an extra 3 inches on each side...little less on one, little more on the other...and you have...

I guess all of those whitetail breeders are wasting their $ on prize bucks and their sperm? Maybe that's why they can't breed any bigger bucks? Come on man. Does definitely have input...but not all of it.

Stinky, It's close to the draw deadline, so I put in through Black Mountain Outfitters/Tom McReynolds. He seems to do well in that area...I'll find out if I draw. The 1st guy that you mentioned for 12... can he apply for a nr in the guide pool? Draw odds pretty much suck if you have to draw...

Bingo...we have a winner! Thing is, I heard he got shot. Could have been mistaken identity...who knows

Not to burst any bubbles....but he'd make 26 if he's lucky.

I saw pictures of a 380+ bull in velvet living on the Beaver. However, my guide thought that bull had crossed over to a different area and got killed later in the year. Who knows.....just bought a Pahvant tag. Funny thing is that I was thinking Pahvant or Beaver. Time will tell if I made the...

I am looking into unit 12. Does anyone know of reputable guides in the are?

I was wondering how the drought is there in New Mexico...if there still is one anyway. I didn't put in for elk last year for that reason. I know drought plays hell on our desert mule deer horns. Sounds like it did last year on your elk also. Have you guys had decent moisture this winter...

Might need a fourth job! Should have been a fisherman.

Does anyone know what the San Juan, Pahvant, or other big conservation/landowner tags went for? I'm too old to wait 20 or 30 years to hunt these areas. I know I'll need a second job....just wondering if I might need a third!

Congrats on two beautiful animals! I do have a problem getting 208 out of that buck, but awesome either way! 93trojan
