    NL Pure 14x52 owners

    Though it may not be as necessary, since you have the forehead mount point on?... I wouldn't know yet... I've always found one of the critical things, for increasing stability of my view, when hand-holding, is Trying a grip style... where you're holding the binos such that, at the very least...

    Heart attack?

    Uh Brother? Could you please elaborate on what is meant by "Calcium scan"? I apologize, but seems just a hair too ambiguous to know what kinda of testing you might be referring to, as you can imagine.

    Summer Coyote Tactics

    Pup and adult fights, Yes! Wow, can those work well sometimes!! Especially if not too much of a stretch away from where you're pretty sure their Den is! And whenever possible, get that caller off the ground! Get it stuffed up into a bush like chest height! If the habitat allows it anyway...

    Which cal for varmint bolt gun?

    I'm betting you probably already have a .223 Rem bolt lying around. Take a second to give those Hornady 35gr NTX loadings a try. Box says 4000fps. Just thinking with that high velocity, might help trajectory to not require as much holdover? I dunno how they do at distance, but up close and...

    15x binos or spotter?

    Brother? Sincerly I'd initially recommand get you some Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42's. Then, that STC Swarovski 56mm Spotter. Betchu money that combo would likely make you happiest overall. per dollar spent. Currently I'm either using the 10x42's w/ the Maven 12x27 56mm, or the 65mm ZEISS Dailyt...

    New to coyote hunting

    Sometimes it can be how you're approaching the area you end up doing a sit on. Like... if what is the nearest by Den... is actually watching you hike-in to place X or Y. OR... watching you drive-up to where you parked. Sometimes that can make it over before it began. Gotta always remember that...

    What 10mm ammo for bear defense (griz)

    Underwood Xtreme Penetrators, 140gr. They also have a 150gr Xtreme Hunter that looks in-between Penetrator and Defender. In terms of the flutes. I wanna say there's footage on Kentucky Ballistics YT channel of a 10mm Xtreme plowing thru a very impressive distance completely thru whatever...

    Summer Coyote Tactics

    Gotta say? I'm embarassed at myself for not connecting the dots on that one! That they would cruise for road-kill. Up in this area I've been focusing on learning for deer, past few years, I'd noted how often at return to vehicle in PM I'd often see a 'Yote come ramblin up the side of the road...

    How long have you been at your current job?

    Yeah our home is already in a living trust. Also on that note, you can give a gift of up to $15K to your heirs without them getting taxed on it. So like... if you're g4etting up in years... and maybe an investment does well, and you'd like to see the result of your gifting and how it helps...

    How long have you been at your current job?

    OK so here's a question... (let me know if this is a not-cool thread-jack and I'll start a separate thread perhaps) What would most of you all consider enough money to have in your 401K to be considered "meh" enough to squeek by on in retirement, and sstill be able to afford to drive out to the...

    10x42 vs. 10x50 Binoculars Pros and Cons

    Honestly man.... no BS... I'd say seriously consider only getting a 10x42mm in a good well known top tier glass man. Then... AFTER... you've given that a good year or more... THEN, if you STILL happen to *THINK* you need more oomph, maybe re-visit this topic then. A good set of top-tier 10x42...

    If you could only have 1 rimfire rifle

    Re: the slightly higher cost of .17hmr vs .22lr... but w .17 ... you KNOW that first shot should always do it as long as you do your job. So no frustrating wasting of ammo when shooting at usable fringe of Copper-22's... which is like 75yds in my CZ 452 American Scout Youth Compact. Only time...

    Best Air Rifle for Prairie Dogs

    If your state allows lead projectiles, also give some CCI Quiet 22 710fps 40gr a try. Don't need ear pro w them just a scosche above magnum class air rifle energies. For PD's I'd imagine .25cal pellet minimum would be wise choice for consistent kills? Since people take 'yotes with Benjamin...

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Oh Wow!! That"Horror Jolt" when you realize something of significant value got left somewhere. Misplaced a LRF, that burned! And a BOA-closure release I really liked.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Got to thinking about this question... and I guess... the most expensive thing I've lost while out hunting would have to be the use/function of my Left Wrist! Day after Christmas 2015 with a bear tag in my pocket, crossing a creek on back of stones. Boot INSTANTLY slipped off that last stone...

    22 creed on coyotes

    Has anyone come out with a lead-free for .22 Creedmoor yet? Or, Has anyone at least hand-loaded with one of the many high BC all-copper projectiles yet? As you can imagine, since our state demands lead-free for hunting, is why I ask.

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    A packer, as in, one of those 1-wheeled cart things with the two handlebars on them?
