    Scouting question

    I think that if I were in the same position as you, I would trade a couple of my hunting days for scouting days prior to the opener, with a couple of guys you can cover a whole lot of country in that couple of days. I am not sure what the terrain looks like where you are hunting but spend the...

    How far away can elk be spotted?

    I have been able to count points on 2 separate occasions at pushing 3 miles. Sitting on my deck I can count the number of cows in Farmer Johnsons field 7 miles down the road. I however have not been able to spot any of the goats that are in the Ruby's yet, which according to google earth is...

    Swarovski EL 10x42 worth the cost?

    After having SLC's and EL's glassing bedded bulls at long distances side by side I would take the EL's all day long every day. IMO they really do not separate themselves until you are glassing during marginal light and at long distances. If the majority of the glassing that did was within 1,000...

    Midwest glassing - swaro el vs slc, 10 vs 12?

    I have had the 12x50 El for about 2 years now and they are in my opinion about as good as it gets. I have been able to spot more elk in less light than I ever have. I was with a couple friends glassing a hillside 2 weeks ago, I spotted a bull bedded in the shade over a mile away, neither one...

    Ruby mountains in October

    I have been hunting out of Jackpot at 8-10k for the last several years during Oct and have seen temps reach the single digits multiple times. After last year I invested in a WM Antelope MF bag, the comfort rating is at 13 degrees which I think will be adequate. The weather can be very hit and...

    Low Carb diet and Nutritional Supplements

    This is exactly what I do except I take 2 fish oil tabs. A little backstory, I lost 75lbs in 7mos when I cut back carbs and started working out daily. Don't get me wrong I think a certain amount of carbs are necessary but when I stuck to veggies and fruit for them and upped the protein the...

    I need a higher end boot, Which one?

    I have owned Alaska Hunters and Perfekt Hunters by Mendel, 2 pair of Kennetrek's, Crispi Guide GTX and Zamberlan 980 GTX. I can say without a doubt finding one that fits your foot well is the most important thing. After wearing out the last pair of Mendel's 2 years ago I struggled through the...
