    WTS/WTT Vortex Viper 10x42

    New they’re $500. A quick search on here shows a couple like new ones listed for $400-450. I’m in the market to upgrade my 10s also but was planning on new Maven C1s for $350. If your vipers are in good shape and you want to significantly beat the maven price then I’d be game. Thanks and good...

    Help with my gear list

    Second dropping the down pants but maybe keep the rain pants..? Find a lighter battery pack? I love my Ruta locura trek poles. He made mine a touch longer for strength for my 6’6” height no charge!

    Wyoming 2019

    I ran into the public lands locked up by private and/or access by a road that when we arrived in person said it was a private oil company access road and no trespassing... if you’re digital scouting, stick to roads with names. We’re switching units and I’m gonna call and ask about specific roads...

    School me on cans

    Thunderbeast ultra 7 for me. It’s stil loud enough that you’ll want ear pro so I saved a couple ounces and inches with the 7 since I backpack hunt with it. I have/had a terrible flinch and the can really helps with the recoil, flash, and noise to keep that in check. thanks again to my uncle for...

    "Lightweight" backpack hunting is an exercise in frustration. Total weight?

    Favorite CHEAPER tripod for binos

    I had good luck with a vortex lightweight one but it got light use for antelope with 10x42s. This adapter was great https://sandsarchery.com/products/field-optics-research-rapid-release-binocular-tripod-adapter

    Floored vs. floorless shelter

    I had good luck with a floored 6moondesign skyscape trekker but did have some condensation on a drizzly night. Without a tyvek ground cloth a floor less on the wet ground wouldn’t have been fun but y’all have me thinking about it now...

    Newbie Elk Hunter - How to adjust bow setup from whitetail to elk

    Coming from Iowa for my first ek hunt last year, definitely should have focused on getting in shape and shooting from extremely uneven terrain! Being able to shoot farther distances could also help. So I suggest you get a setup that’s accurate and then get after the practice and training!!
