    Leophoto Versus RRS Tripods

    I do not support the CCP if I have a choice. I wait until I have the funds to not buy CCP made goods. Much of the CCP made products start out okay then at some point get cheapened up in the manufacturing process . Many Chinese living in CHINA know this and do not buy CCP products. Many Chinese...

    Is one full day at 10,000 feet enough to acclimate for a flatlander?

    Many years ago a survivalist trainer with the USAF in Colorado Springs would give seminars in Denver to the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society about high altitude hunting. One thing he recommended was to start eating TUMS antacids several times a day a week or two before heading into the high...

    Best place to buy swaro from?

    Last five or so years,I always get my best deals at Eurooptic, they are mainly hunters/shooters and have actual field experience using the products they sell. Many optic sellers have never even fired a gun, let alone hunted, but proclaim themselves as hunting experts. When shopping you need to...

    Best Elk Hunting Boots With Minimal Break-In For Early Oct. Elk Hunt

    Tried the Crispi Thor and Altitude. Good quality but to narrow especially at the toe box. Much like the Italian Asolo’s. Ordered Hoka Kaha 2 GTX, they fit great but the sole was as hard as 2X4 , no cushioning like their running shoes have. So far the Salomon Quest 4D GTX are a good fit right out...

    Cliffed Out...Sheep Hunters Rescued

    Pararescuemen (PJ’s) are amazing. Not sure if those sheep hunters (using the term sheep hunter loosely) have all of their faculties to have gotten in that situation in the first place. Still need to comprehend what they thought they were trying to accomplish ,

    What did you do today to get ready for Elk season?

    Being rained in this weekend and finally some cooler weather in the forecast, I decided to load up a couple more boxes of .300 H&H 180 grain Nosler Partitions. Will head to the range the first of the week to do a little more 300-500 yd range practice.

    Is getting a spotter at my budget a waste?

    The high alpine country above tree line in Colorado is perfect for a spotting scope. Optics, are one item buying used offers value. Many serious hunters/optics users are constantly upgrading or trying new models. I know I have been through a lot of optics looking for the next best.Instead of...

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    Really nice tent and price point. Looks as though you have a winner. Being able to dry out your wet gear in the back country is a real confidence builder in staying out and being able to continue your hunt.

    Getting older and my style of hunting has changed from horseback and tent backcountry hunting to day hikes and trips. Sold off my backpack equipment and spotter and getting into some new gear. Nothing at all against Asian’s ( I purchased a KOWA), or the Chinese people, just the band of eight...

    how to clean very dirty/sandy binoculars

    Sand can work it’s way into a lot of undesirable areas. I send my optics back to the manufacture’s service department for a factory cleaning. Sometime’s the manufacturer replaces worn parts at the same time .

    Stone Sheep Hunt Success

    Bird in hand. Congratulations!! Any legal ram is well earned. I usually take what the hunting God’s give me. The weather in that country can change rather quickly and shutdown a well planned hunt. You can not control Mother Nature.

    Best Elk Hunting Boots With Minimal Break-In For Early Oct. Elk Hunt

    I wear a size 14 . Pretty hard to find a retailer where I can try on multiple boots. REI for instance only goes up to size 13 in the Salomon’s . I ended up ordering the Salomon Quest 4 GTX, Crispi Thor’s and Altitude’s. Hopefully two of the three pairs of boots will be a good fit. I will report...

    Best Elk Hunting Boots With Minimal Break-In For Early Oct. Elk Hunt

    I do have a pair of Asolo hiking boots with me, but they are pretty tight to fit warmer socks if the weather gets cold or snowy. The Salomon Quest sound like a possible choice. I will not be back packing and primarily doing day hunts, morning and late afternoons. I also have high arches and...

    What’s A Great All Around Tripod For All Around Spotter KOWA 77

    Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, really good updated information. I sold my last spotter a Leica APO when I gave up sheep hunting. I no longer need to count the rings on a ram. Mostly the tripod would be used for hunting and carried in a day pack for short hikes a mile or two from the...
