Bet that doesn't work too well in poor light, with all those "skinny" lines?

Looks like you got that focusing seminar down to a science.

Ok just spent a few minutes trying to get a shot with my point and shoot through the new burris I got in today. How are you guys taking such good pictures through your scopes?

Please include the spec of the optic and reticle and range to target.

Here is an elk at 1250 yds and scope at 14X. Also a wild turkey, antelope and cow elk in view.

Another bull at 580yds and scope at 14X. I screwed up the camera as it is slightly in telephoto so image is slightly larger and eye relief is off.

One of my yard bucks at 25 yds with scope at 4.5X.

HOLY Smokes...that is COOL! Undoubtedly much research went into the selection process to realize the consummate Haybale & Crockett/High Fence scope/reticle arrangement?! One can nearly count the strands on the barbed wire fence and distinguish the equipment that baled the field(s)! Those WILD Turkeys are magnificent in their primal splendor.

That rugged terrain must wreak havoc on both man and machine.

Thank you for the magnificent tutorial,as it's resplendent in nature and an illuminating view into the thought processes associated with optics advancement and their applications in same.

Might you be able to suggest an Outfitter?

Thanks!

and have used the system quite a few times when the lasers would not penetrate the snow storm or I simply forgot my range finder.


Been there, and very good points thanks.

Thanks Lil Fish, I am glad you like the pictures. This is why we use the 4.5-14 for our hunting as it helps for longer range shooting. I understand you don�t have much experience there but I do notice you showing more interest in precision shooting, as of late, and can�t help but feel I am helping you out in a small way.

I forget some guys don�t get to see wild turkeys and it must be a thrill for you. Those little blacktails you hunt from your boat are cute but I imagine pictures like this must really blow you away.

Only one WILD turkey in the pic but I understand your excitement. grin Good for you.

I can imagine how that terrain would be intimidating for someone like you but it really isn�t much compared to most places hear in Wyoming. The river bottoms where there is water are about the only places we can have any agriculture and this in turn is a natural draw for wildlife. No hunting is allowed on this ranch but it sure is a nice place to take a few pictures.

Thanks!

If I in any small way made your life better then that is enough for me, no thanks necessary, pardner. smile

Why yes: Milligan Brand in Chama New Mexico and Wyomings Finest Outfitter in Sheridan.

Both outfits have experience dealing with guys like you who have absolutely, positively no elk hunting experience (we are talking zero) and going the extra mile to try and get you your first bull. Wow, wouldn�t that be cool if you had a few picture of your first elk hunt that you could post here and let us all enjoy. laugh laugh

Or maybe your first antelope or maybe your first mule deer or maybe your first whitetail deer or maybe your first turkey or maybe your second coyote. laugh laugh

If I were Boxer, I'd ask about their special rates for half a person, you know, 1/2x1 rate. He can't possibly eat as much or take up as much room as a regular person.

The pot is sweetened mightily in it's humor quotient,with a Texan and a Canuck feigning an inkling.

Why didn't you choose a different scope maker such as NightForce or some other that can deliver quality glass? Leupold has proved over & over they cannot. Or do I not know what I'm talking about?

No matter how lip hurt he gets he just keeps comes back. I did notice he backed up on the 68gr HPBT thread but I really sunk the hook deep on that one and yanked him all the way out of the water. laugh

Reloader28,

I assume you understood my post about the VX3 glass was tongue in cheek. In my opinion Leupold VX3 glass stands up to anything that weighs the same. Sure if you are willing to mount a 2lb optic there are other scopes that offer a slight resolution gain. Nightforce not being one.

Leupold has also proven they can build heavy glass that will stand side by side in terms of resolution to anything available but I have no interest in adding weight to the optic system for no real gain in performance.

The VX3 in 4.5-14x50mm is the lightest optic available that is totally suitable for any type of shot on big game, from near too far. The fact that it is rugged and durable, optically is very good, tracks perfectly and is reasonably priced simply cannot be beat. That is why we use it as the base optic.

Cfran,

With all the pictures you must have missed the beginning of the original post. Hope this clears it up.

You and Jackie Bushman are the only two folks dumb enough to think the 68 and 75 Hornady BTHP's are "identical". Bless your hearts.

Folks that dumb,like to botch reticles and "Hunt" outta golf carts within the confines of a fence.

You poor clueless stooge.
