    Swarovski 25x50 eyepiece or 20x60

    I am almost certainly going to buy a new spotting scope. Unless something really changes my mind, it will be a swarovski since I have always used and been pleased with their products. Here are my two primary issues still dancing in my mind: 1. Do I go with the 25x50 eyepiece or the...

    More time glassing with Binos or Spotting Scope

    I usually have someone with me who has a scope, but for reasons noted above if you find more elk with a scope it seems to suggest two scopes glassing is better than one. I am not looking for just any bull so I like being able to judge before walking.

    Another pack thread - my first - I am truly sorry.

    Thanks Elk Nut. I hated to start another pack thread, but it seems like I am always looking for a better pack. FarmerLentz, I did look at Seek Outside earlier this week. I wasn’t drawn to that system for some reason. And, I know full well you have to try packs on to decide. Like...

    Another pack thread - my first - I am truly sorry.

    Okay, first time post, but have followed for years and read dang near every thread on packs here. I have been elk hunting for 30 years, still learning and still chasing gear. Here is my question. I am looking for 2-4 options for a pack that is VERY light, can carry enough for a days...
