Recommendations? Will carry one rifle and RRS tripod with Anvil head in Pelican case. I assume the items are able to be scanned from pictures and then only the foam needs to be shipped? Can I get this accomplished before the end of June?
Depending on the brand (of shoes) I wear a 14 - 15 wide but am having a time trying to find hunting boots. Can someone recommend a hunting boot available in these sizes? Thank you!

After seeing the bino harness post, I’d like to ask what everyone is using to carry with your binos? I use Zeiss Victory 10X45 RF and Glock 30 for size comparisons.
Looking for a good (not great) tripod / head for ATX spotter. It will be set up from the pickup so packing isn't a consideration. I'm not a guide so it won't be in the field every day. Quality and cost are the big factors. Thank you.
*DISCLAIMER* I have ZERO affiliation to either of these outfitters.
When I drew 16 I narrowed it down to two outfitters, GT Nunn and Jay Platt who owns G3 Outfitters. I believe either would do a great job, but Jay got my business and I have nothing but absolute praise for Jay! No one will work...
What units in 16 are affected by this and I am assuming there will be zero chance of the closure lifting in time for the elk season? When will the state issue refunds? It seems like this is bad news for the tag holders but I really don't know?

After drawing a very good tag for bull elk, I feel I need to give myself the best chance to take a big bull. Who would you recommend to hire for this hunt. After reading LOTS of guide reviews some stand out for both good and bad reputations. I cannot afford to choose poorly when hiring a...
LAST EDITED ON May-04-12 AT 01:58AM (MST)[p]No CC refund and no email, but at 2 minutes after midnight I logged into my account to learn that I will be antelope hunting and elk hunting! I fell asleep waiting to check and now there's NO WAY I can sleep!
Considering quality, media storage and battery life what non HD video camera would you recommend? I have a Canon GL-2 but I want something small enough to fit easily in my pocket and be durable enough to not worry about it.
ZEISS
One word - ZEISS! NOTHING is even close to the Victory RF binos. I have used most including the Geovids and once you use the Victory RF you will be convinced.
If It Ain't Broke...
New Mexico has the best antelope hunting for numbers of trophy bucks. Has this happened by just dumb luck? No, in spite of all the cussing and discussing the fact is that the trophy bucks and the opportunity are there now. When one thousand landowner authorizations are...
I won't comment on the various draw systems as that horse has been beat to death, but I can say that it is a darn shame that Idaho has lost most of her famed mulie bucks. If you want to compare then you should look at Colorado. Idaho deer and Idaho deer hunters deserve better and it is...
Here is a taxidermy studio that has a 3 month turn around. I think the quality would please Harry. If it is good enough for Craig Boddington it is good enough for me! [http://www.thewildlifegallery.com/taxidermy/index.html]
If you don't like the system and have a vote try to change it. If you can't change it then find a way to make it work for you. I hope to draw a tag but when that doesn't happen I go to plan B. If I want to hunt bad enough it is worth it to me to buy a landowner tag. Might have to scrimp and...
Cool pics Paul! The bull drinking in the last picture looks like he is growing devil points on both G-1s. Hope I can put my tag on a good bull in your area this year! Please keep posting trail cam pics.
Strickly for hunting reasons if you were moving (at age 48) would you go to AZ or NV? I have 5 pts for most NV species and no AZ points. Seems like a no brainer, but wanted opinions.
Nice Paul! Are the deer sheds whitetail? Can you fence the bull in and give him lots of food and water, and oh make sure he is in unit 34 and please send me coordinates! THANK YOU!! Ha - HA!
RE: Unit 34 LO UW bow tag...
that I know about went for $4500 last year and expect it will this year too. The archery tags are more in demand than the rifle tags.
RE: I Agree!!!!
LAST EDITED ON Jun-03-10 AT 10:47PM (MST)[p]Only no need to wake me up if I don't draw! I REALLY want an antelope tag this year! How has the moisture/horn growth been so far for elk and antelope?
RE: Rifles Inc!
LAST EDITED ON Jun-02-10 AT 01:37AM (MST)[p]I agree with bogey 100%! Lex (Rifles Inc) will build you a super lightweight TACK DRIVER that will be a pleasure to carry anywhere and even when you are old and it is just a chore to get out of bed. I am a lefty and if I weren't I...
What a fantastic trip, congratulations! I have been planning my first safari for about 2 1/2 years and will be in Namibia next year. I am already planning to take my son when he graduates from college in 2013. It is looking like buffalo, hippo and croc in Moz. Your trophies are great! When...
I am from the camp where I do not add it all up. I have a "hunting only account" and have grown it up to the point where it covers all the fees of applying and when I don't draw the refund goes right back in but I do have to keep it supplemented for fees that are not returned. After seeing...
The New Mexico forum on MM is the best by far and Paul really is a stand-up guy. I had a Unit 34 tag for the (NR) mobility-impaired season a few years back and Paul gave me some good intel for starting. I didn't go to his spots as I was on a nice 6 X 6 herd bull opening morning which I let...
Get the Zeiss Victory RF Binos..!
If you want a range finder/bino combo get the Zeiss. Better binocular and WAY better range finder. You can range at least 2 or 3 times further with the Zeiss. Don't make the mistake of buying the Leica because you will be unhappy with the range finder and...
Cameroon / CAR for Lord Derby eland, bongo, savanna buffalo, western roan and all the pygmy antelope I could bag. I am going on my 1st dream hunt next year for leopard!
What is the normal dress for the Fri / Sat banquet/auction/entertainment? Is it formal/tie or what I prefer blue jeans? Don't want to over/under dress as I don't like the attention. Thanks.
338 RUM - No Question.
I have a 300 RUM and a 338 RUM both built by Lex at Rifles Inc. I just got the 338 a couple of months ago and I wish I would have had a 375 RUM built (for Africa) instead of the 300. My 338 RUM will shoot through the same hole with me behind the trigger; I'd like to see...
