Was doing some research a few days ago for a new tripod & head for my new razor spotting scope I picked up, and found some threads on this forum that were related to the brands I was looking at. A couple hours later and who knows how many other threads on different subjects I found myself reading through, I decided I needed to become a member and not just a lurker. The amount of knowledge and experience among members on this forum seems pretty impressive. I think it is going to be a good place for me to come to get questions answered, and by just a quick look at the classifieds its probably going to cost me some money! I'm planning a mule deer & antelope hunt for this year so I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you, and thanks in advance for any tips, advice, or knowledge I may pick up from any of you.
