    Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 12x50 vs Vortex Razor HD 12x50 Binoculars?

    Finally made it to Scheels with the intention of getting the Leupold, but got the Vortex mainly because I would have to take off my glasses to use the Leupold and not the Vortex.

    Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 12x50 vs Vortex Razor HD 12x50 Binoculars?

    Need a little help deciding between these two binoculars. They are at the top of my price range at Scheels, which I have a $250 gift card to use. I wear glasses. Will use both hand held and on a tripod. On paper it seems the slight edge would go to Leupold, but the customer reviews on the...

    Early Rifle CO 2024?

    Thank you for that information. Had that happen to me years ago. The extent of the winter kill wasn't reported until after I had already applied, drew the tag and there were no deer to be found.

    Early Rifle CO 2024?

    You are correct, the early September hunting experience is key for me. I'm not really set up with colder weather gear.

    Early Rifle CO 2024?

    I've been out a few times in different units with archery the first week of September and saw a fair number of deer, those units do not have an early rifle. The Flat tops is a week earlier than the other early rifle units Sept 2-10 vs Sept 9-17, so I'm hoping to catch them still in summer mode...

    Early Rifle CO 2024?

    Thanks for the reply snowymtnwolf. I have a lot of research to do, never had much luck with the biologists and other government employees so I thought I'd start here. Thanks again for the reply and tips!

    Early Rifle CO 2024?

    I've been out of the loop for 10+ years due to a few injuries and life in general, but the whole time I kept up on applications. I now have 12pts for CO deer. From what I can tell, the Flat Tops Wilderness is the best tag I could draw as a non-resident. Reading a few post on here though I'm...

    Getting Married and Hunting

    Congratulations! Every marriage is different and I wish you the best it has to offer. Over the years I've had to deplete my hunting funds to pay for an unexpected bill, the more members in your family, the higher your odds of unexpected bills. Just never hold that against your family for ending...

    Best Ultralight Tent

    I've had a Hilleberg Akto for the past ten years and love it. Plenty of room inside to move around, plus the vestibule helps keep gear out of the weather. Good ventilation and handles wind well. At 3lbs it doesn't take up much pack space.

    The Mountain Project - Season 5

    Thanks for the tip! I broke a rib yesterday, so I'm supposed to take it easy for a few days. Just got done binge watching episodes 1-6. Really enjoyed it, took my mind off the pain and frustration for awhile. Looking forward to the future episodes!

    Colorado Bear Tag Price

    I was wrong, there is a tag available then, it's in the draw. I will be adding that to my application. Makes me even a little more excited for this Fall.

    Upgrading from Thermarest Prolite 3?

    Thanks for the suggestions, and I will have to find a store that will let me lay them out and try them.

    CO Moose draw changes

    As a non-resident who has been building points I was thinking I would decline the pp for $100 and stay where I'm at. My odds are not great to begin with but I'm in with 3-3 pp. Also when you add sheep and goat that's $300/yr. I would rather save That $300/yr and maybe put it towards a trip to...

    Colorado Bear Tag Price

    Would definitely have a bear tag in my pocket, but I'm planning on an early deer rifle and there is no rifle bear that coincides. For $100, I would always add it to any hunt just in case if practical. May have to keep my bow in my truck just in case I would get lucky on deer and tag out early...
