Has anyone handled them side by side? I was going to use my brothers spotter until i realized that thing was a BEAST so decided its time to own one. The athlon seems like one of the best bang for the bucks optics right now and both these seem to be well regarded.
Looking at the lower...
im in the same zone this year, first big game hunt ever for me so i asked a similar question in the rubie mountains help thread. someone responded with the below. Are you planning on backpacking in?
How does one go about finding the biologist for the area? Would I contact the Nevada dept of wildlife?
As far as the maps, I'm trying to find areas to scout via maps, then go in person with an open mind that obviously a sat pic taken 10 years ago may be greatly different then it looks now. I...
was reading his book and need to grab another copy. Managed to get water damage damaged so probably going to order another copy lol.
sounds like ill check out another area a buddy told me about then just work south of there (second photo) vs north (first photo).
so ill start there and work south. The cover gets more dense as I move south. Example of a mile or so south. desnser still have a creek that runs down, can sit on the NE slope and glass the entire north facing slope.
Definitely keep that in mind, The hunt sounds likes its right on the edge of pre rut going into the rut (oct 17th-31st). Ill look for more dense timber. How do they act while in the timber? Do they typically come out feed/water in the AM then return or do they tend to stay hidden and ill have to...
Studying OnX now trying to locate some areas to scout when i head up. Season is Late October mulies in North Eastern Nevada.
Does this look like an area worth scouting? I see smaller vegetation on the north side, trees near and a creek to the east.
About half a mile south west of there is a...
no help from me but ill be there for the oct 17th -31st season. First big game tag ever and what sounds like one of the toughests areas.
For anyone with tips id appreciate some as well, mainly weather and what to expect in late october. I have the tent bag ETC to sleep comfortably down to 0...
If by any chance youre in Vegas I have the standard non elite version and can check it out. Bought it for hunting this year so can't review it yet.
I will note do some research on the standard vs elite, the elite I believe is a little lighter and a little less durable due to the silnylon. It's...

no clue what im in for as its my first year hunting but have been reading Robby Dennings books and hiking a bit more.
HOpe i get to put my rokslide kill kit to use! Any helpful tips are appreciated, even if its tips on what to look for on onx.
Edit: What size...
not the first time "firearm" is mentioned and all of a sudden the tracking starts moving again lol. Glad to hear its resolved without a actually lost firearm.
i got lucky once, sent my stock 700 out to be accurized, dropped into a chassis, bed a rail and put the scope on since it was already in...
if the seller has a shippers account, have the seller contact them, other wise call and ask, if they give you crap let them know that you will be contacting the FBI and ATF to let them know there was a rifle that was lost by *carrier*.
Usually they can ping it and find the package, esp when its...
I hike in my danner US made "combat" boots (in the desert so they work for the area when predator hunting). super comfortable and rebuildable. Not all Danners are US made so make sure you check the labels.
Spotting scope! My first year putting in for tags and gearing up. Getting everything capable of a backpack hunt so that way I can cover everything easier lol.
Best odds fore is antelope and I need a nice spotting scope to use from the vehicle
Ah makes sense, I read that's one issue people have with the piezoelectric starter. Might throw one in there so I'm never without a way to start it even when I don't have my pack on me
