    When do you glass up deer

    In AZ, first/last light the animals are moving a lot more. But. many keep moving in the 1-2 hours. For # of animals per minute, nothing beats first/last light.

    Elk Don't Exist

    Felt that way eating Coues deer tags for three years without seeing them. Felt that one year when we filled no tags and saw no elk in a honey hole. Felt that way my first week of archery hunt this year. It was hot and nothing made a sound.

    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    My small sample size of 4 elk, 2 caribou, 1 mule deer, 3 blacktail, 3 Coues deer shot with my 7mm 180 vld hunters are complete successes. My sample size of 1 Coues and 1 caribou with 25 cal 133 were no different. I know some use the Berger target bullets with thicker jackets. I wanna know how...

    Best all around Whitetail clothing setup for Illinois?

    Keep it simple. A thin wind proof/rain proof outside shell. Then your choice of layering. Solves it all. Layers let you adjust to temps. Which types of layers you like. Fleece, merino wool, puffy, etc. maybe all of them. I also like to walk in cold so I don’t sweat out. Of course, I run hot...

    QD rifle sling

    We make this sling, it is light and designed to be easy to use. Has the grip fabric that keeps it on your shoulder, but isn’t like the rubber that grabs your sleeve. Rokslide10 is a code that always saves 10% but if you sign up for the emails, we give 15%. And, if you don’t like it, just lemme...

    Tripods and such

    I run this one, but they make two other models that have heavier legs and are stiffer. Never seen the Fat Boy version, but it looks similar. If I were buying it for your purposes, I would buy for stability and get the largest diameter legs for best stability standing...

    Better sunshade or glade reduction suggestion?

    Try this. It will wrap over your scope. We get a lot more time hunting Coues glassing into the rising and setting sun. https://www.lswild.com/store/p104/Sonoran-Shade.html

    Tripods and such

    Meant to add, if you eventually go with ARCA, then the RRS Anvil 30 is the standard. I prefer the motorcycle handle style by Leofoto.

    Tripods and such

    Get a 2 section tripod with Inverted legs. Very stable and easy to adjust setting up or on the go because the adjustment is always within reach. Use a plate with bag on top like this for quick adjustment and easy tracking of moving animals. (I make it and it is excellent for quick...

    Tripods and such

    Have you shot off a tripod before? How far will you be carrying it? Standing? Sitting? Will you put ARCA on your rifle forend? Do you want to shoot directly off the tripod or off a bag on the tripod?

    Tripod glassing tac table setup

    PRS guys use a big plate or long rail and cowitness scope and binos. I don’t know anyone rhat also uses a bag as well. I have one that I sometimes set up for shooting at the range. I have a small ball head that I clamp in for bino rangefinder. https://a.co/d/4lLpsu9 https://a.co/d/fNt2v2c

    Weight of your rifle support gear?

    Nice, I think there are definitely hunts where that makes sense. I have been looking at blacktail hunting, and seems like some areas I would leave my tripod and big glass at home.

    Weight of your rifle support gear?

    What sort of terrain are you hunting in? I am not as confident/comfortable off hand, but so could. Funny that my two closest shots on game, inside 100, still were off a tripod, but the situation put me there. For one, I ran into about 350 and set up on my caribou but they kept feeding closer...

    Weight of your rifle support gear?

    Yes, a consistent rear bag makes a difference at longer ranges. I found that 100% true for me too.

    Weight of your rifle support gear?

    I have used my puffy and other things as support bags. Definitely works. For the 2.5 ounces, I like having it there, easy to grab and consistent. I also use it to kneel on a lot. Do you take a glassing pad to sit on?

    Rangefinding Binos with Ballistics vs without?

    How far do you shoot? How fast do you need to shoot after ranging? Those are the two questions I run through. Most choose ballistics in the binos or a Bluetooth to another device. In the moments before pressing the trigger, IMO, there is a tremendous mental load that should be reduced with...

    Tip suggestion: seated shots?

    I like to hear how others figure their load. I have learned a lot. Here, looks like the difference is personal preference for how we hunt, cause I leave my bipod and spotter at home. Always tradeoffs. Ultimately, we are at about the same total weight.

    Tip suggestion: seated shots?

    I probably trade off weight other places. Do you carry a bipod? I leave my spotting scope at home, and it is only a 55mm…
