I Phone Digi Scope Adapter

By Darrr Colburn
I was down at the Outdoorsmans yesterday and picked up a great new gadget if you have an I Phone 4/4S.  Kowa is making an I Phone adapter that comes with rings that fit my Swarowski Spotting Scope and Swarovski 15X binoculars.  They are also coming out with a ring that will fit on the Kowa Big Eye 32X binoculars.  The Outdoorsmans has these adapters in stock and they are $82.99.  I will post some pics and video over the next few weeks as I get the setup out in the field.  Thank you to the Outdoorsmans for staying on top of the latest and greatest gear and providing amazing customer service.

Arizona Elk Hunting Unit 9 Update 9.17.12

The first four days of the hunt are in the hopper with no bulls hitting the ground yet for Colburn and Scott Outfitters.  The rut seems to be getting more and more intense each day.  The forecast looks likes much of the same steady weather.  Temps are in the high 30's at night and high 70;s during the day.  My cousin Jimmy helped a great hunter named Matt who is 13 years old harvest his first bull elk.  More pics and video to come soon.  Looking forward to another 10 days of great Arizona elk action.

Arizona Elk Hunting Update 9.14.12

Opening morning has come and gone with much anticipation.  We had some Arizona bulls bugling pretty decent this morning.  Got on a few bulls but nothing special yet.  Looking forward to spending another two weeks doing what we love!  Weather is supposed to stabilize and no rain in forecast for 10 days.  With things drying out the elk should get back to thinking about water.

Arizona Elk Hunting Unit 9 Update 9.12.12

We got a bunch of rain yesterday and last night here in Unit 9.  The 10 day forecast is for it to dry out with highs in the mid 70's and lows in the high 30's.  Should be great weather for the first week of the Arizona archery elk hunt.  Scouting continues to go well with lots of bull sightings in the 300-350 range.  Bugling has been steady but not crazy yet which is good with me.  I think they are going to come uncorked pretty soon.  Hunters are starting to show up steadily.  Hoping all elk hunters have good fortune this season!  Pictures below are of two different young bulls.  Good to see the next generation getting in on the action.
