I am looking at different telephoto lens in the $1000-1500 range and wanted to get some opinions if possible. I currently have the canon 70-200 non IS which I may sell to fund part of the new lens. Here are a few on my list to choose from. Basically looking for bigger mm to fit my budget.
400mm...
Thought I would share the cheap setup I made in 10 minutes that works as good as the Tines Up adapter and for only a couple bucks at Home Depot. I had two reasons I wanted to make this, one was I didn't want to glue a ring on my camera and two I am a cheap bastard always looking to save a buck...
Getting ready to purchase a DSLR and a lense or two and looking for advise. I have a Vixia HG21 now that I pack in my pocket to video with when hunting. I am assuming the DSLR will out perform the Vixia when I can pack it and with the right lense set up, do you pro's agree?
Next question is...
I snaked this pic off Facebook. Best pic I have seen in a long time! Would be one hell of a magazine cover! Stud ram as well, congrats to the lucky lady.
My front room got a little more crowded tonight with a one of a kind piece of art, or so I tell my wife. I was excited to see how the thin summer cape would turn out on top of the added musle definition that I was after. I am extremely pleased with the final product, now I just have to get...
After putting in a lot of time on 102 this year my old man decided (more like was talked into by me and my bro) to squeeze the trigger on this buck Sunday morning. My dad had high hopes going into this hunt as the last time we hunted the unit my uncle took a 200" typical. I also hunted the unit...
"1100 yards is too close, we are actually looking for a longer shot. Anything within 2000 yards we will kill".
I heard that statement on the hill opening morning by some guys that had a 50 cal. on a ridge set up on a fold out table. They were getting ready to shoot across a canyon at a buck...
Anybody kill this buck on the Vernon this year??? I would really like to see some pics if so. With 400 tags given and 200 bucks on the mountain, odds are someone killed him.
The deer gods were with me on the 2nd morning of my hunt as I was able to arrow a buck I named Freak at 17 yards. Out of 25-30 trips to the mountian he was the best buck I had found and therefore #1 on my hit list. I can't describe the emotion that I experienced when I watched the arrow slam...

Would this be your plan A buck for opening morning or would you go after a 185-195 typical for plan A?? I am picking this buck as he is really unique. Guess the score if you want and I will get actuals come...
Here is what my old man is calling his "Consolation Prize" from his latest trip to Mexico. My dad, his bro, and the guide were out walking an area they had been seeing some good deer in when they heard horns clashing in the next draw. They got around to where they could see what the commotion...
What a depressing day! Had to wax my bow last night and put back in the case with my tag still in my pocket. As if the last day of hunting for the year was not bad enough I now see that I didn't draw the sportman permit that I had been counting on....damn!
Bored at work so figured I would share some pics. Here is what you first see as you step in the front door of my old mans place. Everytime I go there I have to stop and stare and relive some memories.
Net 205 Mexico Buck
22 inch G2's on the bottom buck
Middle buck was the Utah State...
I have been messing around with my mount adding some greenery and a few things, figured I would post a pic. I want a 7-8' fall aspen tree behind him, but only found 1 place online that sells what I'm after ($350 or so), anyone have any cheaper ideas?
My brother had another good year this year and showed me up again! Here are his bucks from this year and few from the past couple years.
2010 Colorado mid 180's
2010 Wasatch 177"
2009 Utah Gen Archery
2009 Gen Wyo mid 180's
My old mans 2009 Gen Wyo buck 190's. Tallest buck I have...
Daxter in an older post you said the sheds were picked up from the buck or bucks below. My hunting partner killed the smaller of the two this year and it would be cool to compare the sheds from last year and get some pictures. Were you talking about this deer or the bigger one? Do you know who...
I am thinking next year that I might hunt with my old fixed sights and throw my 3 pin Sureloc in the trash. It seems that I have had too many instances the last few years where I haven't had time to adjust the sight and missed because of it. I love target shooting with the Sureloc because you...
Is there a good place to find a list of all the auction tags for utah this year? I am looking to purchase a specific elk tag if possible but not sure where to find the auction(s) where one might be sold.
After weeks of scouting and a month of bowhunting without being able to seel the deal, my dad and bro put the hurt on a couple of smokers. My dads buck is one of the tallest deer I have ever seen, with almost 22" G2's. He taped out right around 196". My brothers buck taped out at 188". Here are...
Any body have any info to share on this unit? My cousin put the wrong hunt number on his app and drew this hunt. It seems to me that it should be a good area but lookin for any input. Thanks for any help.
Whats your thoughts about this unit? Will be going with my uncle who just got his name pulled out of the hat! Haven't spent any time on this unit and know nothing about it. What should we expect?
I shoot with the guy(s) that invented this thing and have been hearing about it for a while. Finally got to see it at the expo. I was really impressed, I know I am going to give them a try this year. Anyone else see them or try them yet?
Juat saw that Utah is starting the archery deer and elk season the same date this year. This is good news to me cause we hunt the deer opener in an area that packs quite a few elk, but they usaully get pressured out of the country by the time the hunt starts. Is this gonna help or hurt you guys...
LAST EDITED ON Feb-27-08 AT 02:42PM (MST)[p]My hunting partner lucked out and drew the expo tag for San Juan. I was so excited he drew I didn't sleep for a week! Anyways thats one unit that neither of us have messed around on. We will be scouting it a bunch I'm sure, but any direction/info would...
I lucked out and drew a monroe tag that a friend told me to put in for because he knows some private land we can hunt. I'm looking for other areas to try if anyone can point me in a direction. Thats one mountain I haven't ever been on, so looking for all the help I can get.
thanks

I was just looking to see when they post results and it says they will not give a list of successful applicants, just able to check your own. Apparently there is a new law restricting it. I know other states are like this but I hate the idea. I liked reading thru the names to see who drew what...
You guys seen this email. He caught this thing on a pike that he was reeling in. Its not a two hundred inch buck but damn close.
Heres a 206" buck for those who don't like fish pics.
I shot this buck last weekend right at dark. I had to come off the mountain and go get flashlights and some help to track. After some hard tracking we found him. He was 24" 164" gross.
I'm looking to get a rack officially scored in the salt lake area and am wondering if anyone can get me some info on official scorers that are around here.
I lucked out and drew 102 type 1 and I'm wondering if wyoming lets you purchase a tag that lets you hunt the unit with a bow before the rifle, and dates when if they do.
