    Glassing into Timber and Shadows

    12x50 swaro's. They will cut through timber and shadows. I look for ears, parts of antlers, or a leg. It seams like you will not see the whole animal unless you are sitting in the right spot, I usually find a part of the animal and then set there until it moves enough to determine what and how...

    Best Rechargeable Headlamp

    I have been using the Armytek Wizard that uses the 18570/ 3400mAh battery. I have had it for about 12 years and really like it. Batteries will last a long time. My grandson likes to play with it when he comes to visit. Well last time he was here he put it someplace and I have turned our...

    South Carolina cold vs. Wyoming cold

    I lived in Kenosha Wi. for 3 winters during the late 70's and early 80's. I was racing snowmobiles and I have never been so cold as though 3 winters. Out west it can be -30 and you know it is cold by how it burns your nose. Back east you are cold to the bone, I learned about wool pea coats and...

    Fishnet base layers. They work, and you want them.

    I just looked up all these companies. Interested in a pair of these to try until I went to sizing. I am a 38" to 40" inseam. 32" is the best I can get in my waist. I am not a BIG and tall, I am just a slender tall guy. Of course I have the same issue with all Hunting clothes. My waist usually...

    Son's first big game tag, Advice for a demanding father.

    You didn't say it, but I have been around parents who helicopter their kids during hunting season. Not saying you are one of them, just felt like it by your original post. No offense meant.

    Son's first big game tag, Advice for a demanding father.

    I think you might be wound a little tight. The object is to have fun and enjoy the outdoors. If you make it all about antlers you take the fun out of it because if he doesn't get the "Big One" all he see's is disappointment in your face. Take him out enjoy the day and have a causal hunt and if...

    Boot fit - Lowa vs Hanwag

    I actually wear both of those Hanwags. They fit my feet like they were Taylor made. My tarta's have several thousand miles on them and still have life left in them. The Alaskans have under a thousand miles on them and are extremely comfortable, they are my second set of Alaskans.

    Preferred time of season to hunt mule deer

    Love late November. Its cold and a little snow usually. And you can sit and just watch the world go by and watch bucks roam looking for does. And when the mood strikes you and you find a buck you like, you shoot.

    Extended Stay in Riggins Idaho and Wilderness Units

    Instagram won't let me see your pictures so I don't know what you are driving, but a fun trip would be going up the Salmon and going up French Creek Grade and going to Burgdorf hot springs and then Secesh and if you have time Warren. Or go north and go to Florence and on up to the Gospel Hump. I...

    KUIU Phone case

    So I just received the new KUIU phone case. I have been trying to figure out a way to carry my phone not in my pocket. When I took it out of the mailer I was surprised at the size, it will hold any phone out there and the front pocket will hold my range finder also. I have the KUIU range finder...

    Favorite Bino Harness?

    I have been using the new upgraded KUIU harness. All I want is something to protect my binos, not looking for a front mount pack. It is easy to use and does a very good job of protecting my binos along with being comfortable.

    Do Swaros have a seal on the box?

    Besides, if you buy the ones that are in the display case they have already been broke in. You are not required to stand around and look through them during the break in period. They will start finding trophy grade game right off the bat.

    Vortex vs kowa

    If you get the full coverage stayon cover (The Green one, not the black one) you will not have a problem unless you are just that hard on equipment. I have had the Gen 1 razor 80 spotting scope and it was good for a startup spotter. Went to a Kowa 884 and learned what good glass is. Somebody...
