    To image stabilize or not?

    I brought the16x42 hdx (non pro) on my October mule deer hunt as my chest binos this year and put in a good amount of time behind them. The field of view being small is a bigger disadvantage than I gave it credit for while playing with them at home. The first few days I tried to run only the...

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    I did find an active rub line with good buck tracks again this year in the new area but was never able to get eyes on him. Several rubs on the ridge line above a couple of thinned areas of timber below, good cover / dark timber on the north side. Does were working the thinned areas below with...

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    Unfortunately I wont be able to look and see if that ridge is still being used as we are locked out from recent fires. Learning new ground this year in a different portion of the unit with a lot more water / the summer range seems more spread out. I did end up getting Robbie's book and there...

    Review: The Graylight App

    I downloaded and went through a lot of it, lots of great info learned quite a bit. Not sure of it's android specific but quite a few of the videos shrink to 1"x2" so it's hard to see what he's pointing out in those. Seems to be the videos filmed through the spotter, they start regular size...

    Warranty replacement decision

    Thanks again for the feedback, I've had the 16x42 zulu 6 for a little over two weeks now and feel good about the decision. I can think of several times over the past few seasons they would have been a major benefit both on the western Oregon coast and East Oregon, especiallyin high wind...

    Weatherby vanguard s2 stock

    After reading the Tikka thread I recently put a VG hunter from Stockys on my Vanguard and have nothing but good things to say about it over the factory stock after the first 200 or so rounds with it. Not completely sure if the stock improved accuracy or if the fit makes me shoot the rifle...

    Warranty replacement decision

    Thanks for all the suggestions, the Kilo 10k looks awesome but is definitely a little out of my price range at the moment while paying for the kid's braces this year. Already have a decent rangefinder so pretty much have talked myself into the zulu6 16x42's.

    Warranty replacement decision

    Thinking about this from a little different direction, I have a vortex diamondback 4x12 scope on my rifle for the past several years that shoots fine for my skill out to 300yds. I don't have any complaints but maybe don't know what a little more quality scope offers. Are any of the sig...

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    That is one thing about this spot is there are no good glassing points closer than about a mile, you pretty much have to be on it to hunt it which I guess ties to why there was a good buck using it. Plus there is only one good way in and out so really limits the approach with the wind...

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    That's been the struggle in finding information so far thats muley specific. We don't find a large number of rubs (which I have seen with blacktail) but find at least a few every year.

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    Appreciate the reply, and that is exactly what I found. 2-5.5' high rubs on a 5" tree. Around Oct 10th Sounds like my thought process isn't too far off.

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    I have tried searching but have not found much on the subject of rubs and mule deer other than for shedding their velvet or Nov rutting. In the area I have hunted over the past 12 years (Fairly heavily timbered 4-7k ft Oregon) we find fresh deer rubs in early to mid October and have at times...

    Warranty replacement decision

    Looking for some feedback on what to do with my warranty replacement for a set of Sig binos that couldn't be repaired, I'm offered Zulu 8 10x42 as a direct replacement or can put the money towards something else. I already have a pair of Vortex viper 10x42, is there enough of a difference to...
