    Opinion of 10x42 or 12x50 Binos

    I love my 12X50 Els for western hunting. I primarily rifle hunt so I try to find places to glass from a tripod. I also have a pair of 8X50 Ultravids that I use for hunting in the midwest. I hated my 12s in a tree stand. If I was primarily archery elk hunting I would probably go 8s for the...

    4th Season Elk Help

    I am looking forward to it. I felt like I was really getting to understand elk during archery season and was having fairly good success but I just can't rely on hunting that time of year. 4th season is more of a sure thing. Last year fruit was running behind so I grabbed an archery tag but...

    4th Season Elk Help

    So I have finally resigned to the fact that because of work the only way I am going to be able to hunt elk consistently is to chase them during our 4th rifle season here in CO. In the past I have always been an archery hunter so it is a big change. What things should I look for when looking to...

    WTS/WTT Kifaru 14r

    Like new Ranger green 14r. I bought this pack 3 months ago and have used it on a few training hikes but it is basically still brand new. Decided to use a little larger pack for day hunts. Will try to add pictures later. Cheers $350 TYD I will pay PayPal fees.

    WTS/WTT Mystery Ranch Sawtooth

    I have a Mystery Ranch Sawtooth that is in like new condition. I traded a friend for another pack I was going to sell. It is foliage in color and is a size Mens S/M. No rips or stains. Since getting back into hunting I have been on a bit of a gear trial phase and am starting to clear out...

    Anyone gotten PPP via BOA to go through?

    Sorry to hear about your issues. We have been with Wells Fargo for the 6 years we have owned our business and the business has been with them since 88. They have always been a gigantic pain in the .... So luckily we had started to change over to a local bank who we had worked with personally...

    Mystery Ranch or Exo?

    It’s the buckles that kept breaking. I did a lot of training hikes without a single problem with both loaded with a sand bag. All the animals that I had issues with were late season in CO and WY. I think the cold just didn’t agree with the plastic. I did pack out a mule deer in AZ this January...

    Mystery Ranch or Exo?

    I think a big problem for me was I hunt mostly late season and the buckles they use to save on weight are maybe a little light duty for below freezing temps. Plastic and cold usually don’t mix well

    Mystery Ranch or Exo?

    I can't speak to Exo but I currently switched to Kifaru from Mystery Ranch. I had been a MR guy since 2008 when I bought a Crew Cab. I have always loved that pack and would agree it is built bombproof. The recent MR packs I have bought not as much or I have just had bad luck. I have used the...

    Outrageous NR prices!!!

    I think it is just how the system works. There are also more licenses given to residents. Heck Missouri just announced its first elk hunt on public land and nonresidents need not apply even though it is on public land

    Outrageous NR prices!!!

    I don't have a problem with the way things are. I can see an argument to both sides but lean on the state owns the wildlife and its government manages said wildlife and is primarily paid for by residents in some way shape or form. The beautiful part about our country is we all get to choose...

    12x Binoculars: The Perfect Optic For Western Hunting, By Jake Potter

    I primarily use 12X50 Els for my western hunting. Carry them on my chest and always have a tripod. Last year I picked up some 8X50 Ultravids for hunting in the midwest. I hated glassing with my 12s from a tree stand. The eights are great. They also typically ride in the truck with me for...

    Vortex Razor UHD 18x56 Review, By Jared Bloomgren

    These are tempting. I currently run ELs 12X50 and am wanting a bigger pair of binos but am not sure the 15s are a big enough jump to justify the cost. My issue in the past with vortex is they were always great customer service but I felt like I needed it all the time. I have had their 12X50...

    Vortex Fury HD 10x42 Review, By Jared Bloomgren

    Do these still have a green tinge on one side of the optics? For me the fury had one ocular with a green tinge and the nikons had one with a blue tinge that made it hard for me to use them for a long period of time. It was one thing I was the most excited about on the sigs is for my eyes the...
