    Optics and methods for brushy country?

    Just about everywhere that I hunt is thick timber too. When calling is slow I've had good success sitting wallows. Sometimes I'll chase them in the AM and sit for them in the afternoon. I grew up hunting across the border from you in Montana.

    I was on the Cabelas website the other day. They had some good deals going on.

    Dropped project Yukon

    I'm still trying to figure out why it takes 2 hours to put a saddle on a horse.

    Carbon Monoxide - Stoves in Tents

    Wood stoves shouldn't be an issue except for burning down the tent. I'm sure its happened before. If using propane make sure its a catalytic type like the Buddy heaters if you plan on leaving it on all night. Most of those type have a CO sensor in them and should shut off if detected. We usually...

    Let's see your mountain goat pics!

    Here is the goat I killed in the Mission Mountain Wilderness in Montana back in 1992. The second pic is from a goat hunt in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. We were on our way out at the top of Smith Creek Pass. That was a 15 mile day to get back to the truck. I need to get back in shape!

    Sony RX100 + Tines Up?

    I use a 2" plumbing fitting and epoxy an adapter ring to it. The outside ring on the RX100 and the eyepiece of the Vortex or Swarovski are really close to the same diameter. Put 4 small pieces of velcro around the lip of the plumbing fixture. The rotating extended part of the lens slides right...

    Sony RX100 + Tines Up?

    I made a DIY for my RX100 to attach to the Vortex digiscoping setup. It will probably work for the Tinesup also. I can take some pics tomorrow if you want.

    Cannon ELPH

    I have the 300HS and the lens is to big to work with the Zeikos. I think its the same with the 100HS. A couple posts down there are DIY pics of what I used for the 300HS.

    Cell Service

    I think most of the pay as you go phones run on the same towers as ATT and T-Mobile. They run off the GSM network. Sprint and Verizon run off the CDMA network. I get no cell service in our hunting area. We have to drive 20 miles to a small town and then both Verizon and ATT barely work. I'm...

    Using cell phone as GPS??

    I used Backcountry navigator on my cell phone last year. There are pros and cons to both. My buddy had a motorola phone and his had a hard time locking satellites. I have an older HTC phone that would lock faster and with more satellites than my Garmin. With the stock battery I could get 2-3...

    Big spotter compared to a little spotter

    I use both. I've had a Leupold 12-40 x 60mm for at least 17 years. ( I'm old, I bought it new for $500) That scope is the one I pack when I'm hunting open country. Last year I bought a Razor 85mm that I pack when I'm just scouting and want to take pics and vids. The Leupold doesn't get much...

    What GPS are you carrying?

    I have a 60csx and started using backcountry navigator on an old android phone last year. I carried both for a couple days to compare them. For the way I use a gps the backcountry navigator worked better. The topo and ariel maps are free and you can purchase other maps. I did purchase the Accu...

    Recommendations for digiscoping with a 65 mm Swarovski

    Its just velcro stuck to the camera and to the plumbing fixture. You just lay the camera on it's back and turn it on, then center the plumbing fixture over the lens and press gently. Here are some clips from last fall put together. Its from a muzzleloader hunt in SE Oregon. We were hoping for...

    Recommendations for digiscoping with a 65 mm Swarovski

    I would just hand hold the Olympus up to the scope and see if it works. I would guess it will work fine. I've had good luck with the Canon cameras like the HS100 or 110.

    Recommendations for digiscoping with a 65 mm Swarovski

    I used a 2' to 1 1/2' reducing coupler for plumbing and some velcro. It works on my Vortex and my friends Swarovski. I have the Zeikos too, and allot of the newer camera lenses won't fit thru the 37mm opening. I have tried several cameras and BB is spot on. It doesn't have to be an expensive...

    Camera suggestions

    I have a few cameras around the house too. Including a DSLR, RX100 and a couple point and shoots. For an all around camera I think one of the bridge cameras such as the Canon SX50 would be hard to beat. It has a 24 to 1200mm lens. There is no changing lenses and it can be used on full auto. The...

    Good OTC archery Antelope area

    I think Montana still has a guarenteed archery antelope tag. When I lived there we would start decoying them around the 10th. It works best when you have another person working the decoy. It was some of the funnest hunting I've done. We would get opportunities every day.
