Thanks guys ... thankfully this move will be much easier than the move from CO to KS back in February (during which both my wife and I probably had COVID)
Congrats. Why was KS such a hard time? Tulsa real estate was hotcakes even during the height of covid. Did KS have different rules?
There was never any official shutdown of the real estate market here, but when the state went on lockdown new postings slowed to a trickle.Quote:

I gladly paid the difference for this awesome setup. The package arrived just in time to watch a Common Raven nest in a sub-alpine fir only 40 yards from our back patio. A large spruce had fallen the day before, giving us a clear view of the nest. We count four young in the nest.
My older spotting scopes are from the mid sixties and the mid eighties. This will up my game at the range, for pronghorn hunting and for general wildlife watching.

The EL Range bins are excellent but the 24' close focus distance doesn't work for me. I'm happy with the Vortex Razors with a 5' close focus. They were a splurge too.
I've supported the RMBS for several years. They're doing good work on behalf of bighorn sheep.
Congrats on your win! Pretty sweet deal.
Indeed! I googled those binos since I was curious, and Holy Cow! Definitely a sweet prize. Pretty sure that outside of winning a raffle, I'd have to hit the powerball to buy something similar. And I'd still probably be too cheap to do it.
I'm sure you will use that spotter on an almost daily basis with all the bird activity you have.
Awesome prize, Hummer. Good for you for finally getting what you wanted.
