    pinhead size "somethings" in a 20 x 60 swaro eye piece

    I have something similar in my Swaro. It looks like a fine mist of little water droplets. I rarely notice it though, light has to be just right for me to see them. The glass is pristine. I wonder if I have the same thing you mentioned?

    SWEET MULEY VIDEO!! - Arizona late season bowhunt 2014

    Nice camera work Darin! And of course Russ doing what Russ does :) That after the shot interaction was epic. I wish every hunting video and tv show could capture that as well. It's what is all about and what keeps us going. It's also awesome when you think about how many animals Russ has taken...

    Optimal <5 pound spotting rig?

    My set-up Swaro ATS 65 25-50w 47oz Slik 634 tripod 32oz Vanguard PH-111v head 14oz It's a little over your 5lb mark, but worth it. Or you could get the Slik 624 to shave a few ounces.

    Rangefinder review; Leica, Leupold and Vortex

    Do you worry about educating or blowing out bucks while scouting?

    I try not to spooked them obviously, but I don't lose sleep about it when I do. Sure you educated them a little, but I think they rarely leave the area, you can find them again. Plus you learn a lot when you spook them about their secondary bedding areas.

    Mountain Maggots....I hate sheep (domestic)

    You guys are right about the shepherds keeping them moved every few days. I'm sure they'll be gone in a few days, I'm just hoping the bucks will return to the normal areas I've seen them after the sheep are gone. I think the sheep put a pretty big dent in the groceries, but hopefully not...

    Mountain Maggots....I hate sheep (domestic)

    Have any of you had any trouble with flocks of sheep (1000's of them) grazing through areas you scouted for deer? I've had plenty of run-ins with sheep, the shepherds and their hostile dogs; but it hasn't seemed to affect the deer too much or my success in finding bucks. But this year I cant...
