    Pro's and Con's to Maven?

    Hadnt seen this mentioned yet so first, if you put your hot sweaty face right up close to your cold lens on your binos, it will not matter what brand they are. They will fog on the outside from that heat and moisture. I keep eye cups screwed all of the way in all the time (for multiple...

    Swarovski NL Pure 10X vs 12X

    I have the 10x and two buddies have the 12x. Neither of them already had 15s like I did.... I will also note that I was upgrading from Maven b2 9x that I still wouldnt feel under-gunned with..... I chose 10x after looking through theirs both handheld and on a tripod next to 15x SLC. For me...

    Pics of animals you weren't hunting

    Need to get more in the practice of taking photos instead of video while digiscoping. Easier to share and post..... Here are some Columbia Whitetail and BT yard and ranch bucks. Have good video of the big forky whipping the 4 pt in the distant photos.....

    Everyday shoe/hikers

    I like Inov-8 shoes and their light hikers. Everything from minimalist to light gore-tex hikers. I have worn and worn out many a pair and keep going back. Just another line up to check out....

    Which full size hunting vehicle to buy?

    I think crew cab with 6.5ft bed is hard to beat. With a topper.... Size depends on your needs between 1500 size or heavier duty.... Smaller trailers go 1500 size for sure, if you're towing heavy long distance a heavy duty is more comfortable. I wouldn't want an SUV for a hunting vehicle and...

    Tripod from a truck

    I have a heavy aluminum Benro with a Sirui VH-10 on it. Just for that purpose and using from the house. I would go aluminum for the weight and cost and that VH-10 is more sturdy and heavy than the VA-5 for sure....

    SW Oregon

    New to posting but I have mooched free info for a while.... Live in SW Oregon and hunt deer, elk, bear locally and deer/elk east of Cascades sometimes. Waterfowl every once in a great while, upland birds as a side thing, and have messed with turks a little.... I have also gotten in to quite a...

    Christensen Ridgeline Ti or FFT?

    I bought an FFT in 6.5 PRC. Shoots the factory 147 eldm pretty decent. Slow though, about 2730 fps. Put a Razor LHT 4.5-22 on it and its under 7lbs out the door though! A little tough to spot shots within 500 yards with a bipod on a rail and the light weight but not impossible. Brake works...

    Huskemaw or vx5 for long range

    I wouldnt put my trust in a VX series leupold for dialing a lot. I had an issue with one a few years ago and it ended up on a gun that will never dial for shots. No experience with Huskemaw. In that price range I have liked the stuff from Zeiss. The same rifle the VX was on now has a 4-16 V4...

    Slik CF 634 vs 733

    634 is ok with my 95mm as long as it is kept low. Not great extended high enough to stand and look through. Great for 10x and even 15x binos though. Would probably be fine with a smaller/lighter spotter. Doubt youd be giving up anything other than stability, nice little package with the va5...

    Roseburg OR, What do I need to know?

    Depends which ranch or area you are hunting but it will most likely be some half open half poison oak brush hills with a bunch of oak trees, maybe a little timber, some blackberries..... Bucks should be chasing does on private land by that point or at least getting interested. I am sure your...
