    1) Go to the FNG section and introduce yourself 2) demonstrate that you're on the forum for reasons other than unit snooping 3) generally find guys more willing to help you out versus the countless 1 post wonders that come out of the woodwork every Spring, never to be heard from again.

    Go make an intro post dude. FNGs come outta the wood work this time of year looking for intel, never to be seen again.

    Looking for a reccomendation...kuiu mountain star 2p

    I have zero complaints about my Mountain Star, it's my most used tent out of a pretty large collection. Good at everything, especially ventilation

    STC vs Kowa 554 review

    That's good to hear. I switched from 12x50 binos and mostly use 8x32s now specifically for the FOV advantage. Spotter is just to look at already located animals...sounds like I'd gain nothing with the Swaro

    Have you moved out of state?

    What about the hunting is better in the Midwest? In Montana a guy can pretty easily have 10+ deer tags in his pocket every year, shoot bears spring and fall OTC, hunt elk, kill 5 gobblers, 10 wolves...draw a speed goat every other year, shoot every kind of upland bird until January (including...

    Have you moved out of state?

    I too was born and raised in good 'ol Wisco, went to school in Madison, and up until I left, that was the biggest city I had ever been in haha. I still miss the Northwoods, and there isn't anywhere else in the country that even comes close to scratching that itch, but mountains are my jam, so I...

    Pretty significant advantage to the Swaro for sure

    STC vs Kowa 554 review

    Good info. Tough to imagine better clarity than my Kowa but the FOV is definitely pretty tight.

    Fair Chase

    I'm all for a complete motorized ban on anything other than a main USFS road. Anyone that disagrees needs to go hunt SW Montana or S Central/East Idaho and report back. Fancy rifles still need a skilled marksman behind them, but an ATV will deliver a 350 pound Bubba to the same spot just the...

    Copper Spur vs Mountain Star

    It was properly staked, the snow load is what did it in.

    Copper Spur vs Mountain Star

    The only copper spur I've been around got flattened in an Idaho snow storm that left a Cabelas bargain cave tent largely A-OK right next to it. That alone pushed me to my Mountain Star, and so far I've found it plenty durable. One of my favorite tents out of my current lineup of a half dozen

    Peax solitude for 3 guys with a stove?

    Not an option when it needs to be dried before burning unfortunately.

    .25-06 117 SST vs 115 VLD

    The fusions were never on my radar as I always thought they were "cheap", but recently I've come to the conclusion that I need to try them. I've read a bunch of posts where guys call them the most underrated bullet ever made, very accurate and consistent terminal performance. That's a helluva...

    .25-06 117 SST vs 115 VLD

    Appreciate this kind of info, thank you. How did the VLDs do on the sub 200 yard shots? .25-06 velocity puts me right on the edge of where I got some pretty messy kills with 140 grain bergers going really fast out of my 270 WSM
