The Camera Lens I Want - Again
I believe this is going to be the production model of the Sigma 200-500mm (w/ built-in 2x converter for 400-1000mm!) I like it! I still haven't seen a price posted anywhere. I highly doubt it will be feasible. Around 35 lbs...yep, I think I'll take two!
Arizona's 5 Worst Units for 2008
If you're applying for any of the following units you might be in for a long hunt.
Unit 21
Unit 30A
Unit 31/32
Unit 34B
Unit 35A
These units, collectively, have a total of 56 available tags between archery, muzzle loader, and rifle. Four of the units are south of Phoenix and the other is the closest unit to Phoenix with antelope.
Why are these units bad? If you're a trophy hunter these are the units with the fewest recorded big bucks. In fact, we've scouted these units and found very little so we agree with the record books. A few years back we managed to find an 86+ south of Tucson, but that's more the exception then the rule.

The SCI Show 2008
The show was fun, but all the pictures are on my sisters camera so I have nothing to show.
My favorite booths of the show:
Wilderness Whitetails - I know the deer are farm raised, but they're still amazing to look at.
IRP Outdoors - The coolest ice chests in a long time! (pun intended) They also have a tree stand blind thingy that looks pretty sweet.
Ed McBride - Awe inspiring steel sculpture.

When I Return
...from SCI I'll post whatever it is I hear or see or get a picture of or...you get the idea. I'll post stuff from the Reno Convention. It's usually full of great things to talk about so hopefully I run into a few of them.

Muzzle Loader World Record
I can't find a picture of Whitaker's buck - I'll keep looking. Until then I'll post a picture of the buck taken by Chad Corbin, the Arizona Super Raffle Antelope Tag Winner last year. He hunted with us and took this buck with a muzzle loader in mid August. The buck officially scores 94 3/8 SCI and 92 2/8 B&C making it the largest antelope ever taken with a smoke pole! I think a more appropriate name for this buck would have been Mickey Mouse - check out those ears! The buck had the largest ears we've ever measured, they were 8 2/8 inches long - his face was only 8 inches long.
