Ah, he's safe. They have him locked up in his little home at the public library 4 miles away.We did get 11 that day son-8 dad-3 About 25yrs ago my aunt had an albino hog living on the hill behind her house. Needless to say he was too close to the road where everyone saw him and someone didn't read or care about the sign saying: PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT THE WHITE GROUND HOG.

What are the big Binocs on the tripod. Do you like how they work? Looks like you've also got a military stereo optical rangefinder too.

I'm sure our guys would like your comments on these optics...

Mr. Chief, I made those binos from 2 Bushnell Spacemasters 22x wide angle eye pieces they sit on a Bogen 3051 tripod with a Bogen 3039 head they clip on and off in seconds. The range finder is a Swiss WILD it reads 325-20,000 meters so I just print my bal. chart in meters. It works great and I never have a problem with ranges.I also use a Swedish NIFE rangefinder it measures 150m-1500m. I'll have to get some close ups of the binos and post. We also use WW2 10x80mm flak binos on the original azimuth and elevation mount, WW2 12x60mm Zeiss that came off of a 10m German rangefinder, 25-40x100mm Chinese binos and carry around 7x50 and 8x30 Zeiss. All of my optics came from EBAY. I know some of this stuff is pretty heavy but I like the old gizmo's.
