    Opinions on Vanguard endeavor Ed II

    I can't compare the Vanguards to the Mavens or Monarch 7s, but I can tell you that I'm super pleased with my vanguard ED II's. They're pretty dang clear from what I can tell. I put mine on a tripod and can easily see a mile out with 10x42s, but by no means are they clear enough to count points...

    2nd Boots

    I think a Muck boot would get destroyed if you're doing any kind of mountain hunting. Get a set of 10 inch boots if you're worried about snow, or just get a nice set of gaiters. The issue is having both boots broken in enough to not destroy your feet. If i were you, i would buy a pair of high...

    Lightweight early season pants

    Wrangler Outdoors pants are the best bang for the buck i've found. 21.99 at every Walmart i've been too. They're light, dry super fast, and durable. They have a nice waist band, and enough belt loops to actually hold up your pants. They come in green, brown, tan, and gray. Give them a...

    Luxe tents

    Luxe is a great company. They have outstanding customer service. They're hunters and support the community. When i travelled to their brick and mortar store, they took the time to let me set up and test out three of their tents and were 100 percent honest with me on what they thought my needs...

    Looking for a softer boot

    The Meindl Vakuum Hunters are in the exact same league as the Mountain Extremes as far as stiffness and sole goes. I swap between Lowa Tibets and Vakuum Hunters all the time depending on what I feel like lugging around. If you're wanting a "soft" soled boot i would look elsewhere. I always...

    Meindl vs the cabelas meindl

    The Meindl Vakuum Hunters have been outstanding for me. I had a really long boot search in which I spent a fortune on kennetrek, Lowa, and Hanwags. I ended up just saying to hell with it and got the Meindl's on a whim. I remember trying on the Meindl's at Cabelas and the top of the toe box...

    Lowa Tibets 30 percent off

    Just a heads up to anyone looking for a good deal on LOWA Tibets, they're 30 percent off right now on campsaver.com. Just ordered the HI's for 315 out the door with free shipping. Pretty stellar deal when they're normally upwards of 450. Good luck

    How often do you use your spotting scope

    FlyGuy I'm currently running Vanguard Endeaver ED IV 10x42's. I've had them for two months and like them so far. They've been out to eastern washington for turkey season, and they've woked really well in the early morning. My only complaint, is that i wish i had a little bit more reach...thus...

    How often do you use your spotting scope

    Thanks for the response. Honestly I'm pretty new to Big Game hunting. I'm wanting to go for Mule Deeer before i bite off going after any elk. Im a Chukar hunter at heart, so i like steep terrain and covering a lot of ground. I guess i should probably just use my bino's until i get the big...

    How often do you use your spotting scope

    Like the title says, How often do you use your spotting scope? I have 10x42 bino's and a tripod that i use for scouting in western Washington, but I'm going to be scouting out East or in Idaho and I'm not sure if buying a spotting scope is worth the investment. Can i get by with 10x42 binos...

    New Kuiu vs Used MR

    Check out the gohunt backpack torture test. The KUIU didn't stand up that well compared to the mystery ranch. I ended up getting the MR Sawtooth 80 based on the price and the gohunt guys review. I had a budy that has the KUIU ICON PRO and it felt alright until i put some weight in the bag.

    Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80 vs Exo K2 5500

    I have the MR beartooth 80 and so far it's working out for me. It did take a while to get it fitted to my body, but it does pretty well with a 50 pounds bag of sand in the back. The only thing i would change is the amount of straps on it. If you like simple stupid bags, go Seek Outside.

    Whats your training setup?

    I also just put a 50 pound bag of sand from Home Depot into my MR Beartooth 80 and hike around until im tired of it. I don't time myself or go for a certain distance. I just walk until i feel like stopping.

    Washington Upland Bird

    Sweet season. I do all of my Upland hunting without a dog, and i do decent. I've never gone after pheasants because i've always heard the release sites are kind of crazy. I do most of my grouse hunting up on MT Baker, and Chukar around Chelan, and I rarely leave without something in my vest...

    Washington bird

    Congrats. Did he talk back to you at all or come in silent? I've been over towards colville, and the Toms go nuts on the roost, but around 7 they shut up for the rest of the day. I've been getting my butt kicked all season. Good on you for filling your tag.

    All my upland hunters out there, which shotgun?

    Congrats on the Franchi Instinct. I have a Franchi Affinity that i absolutely love. It's pretty much a Benelli without the price tag to go with it.
