    Post-Hunt Analysis - Rookie Mule Deer Hunter

    I did consider this. However, I was nervous about bumping deer that I couldn't see while still-hunting and the fog potentially lifting. Maybe that's an unfounded concern (and if the fog never lifts, it's irrelevant).

    Post-Hunt Analysis - Rookie Mule Deer Hunter

    Thanks all - it was an awesome time and at least there were some deer around, just ran up against mother nature. Fog isn't as bad when treestand hunting and the longest you'd even shoot is 40 yards. When glassing, it's almost worst situation!

    Post-Hunt Analysis - Rookie Mule Deer Hunter

    Hi all - I just put in a first-time mule deer hunt in Idaho, it was an amazing experience but I wanted to gather feedback on the hunt (I didn't harvest an animal, but still considered it successful). A couple points to make initially, as I know most would probably point to these things first...

    Has anyone missed a shot opportunity because of a slider sight?

    I run a 3-pin slider, 20, 35, 50, I can dial to 120 for practice but treat it like a fixed pin during hunting season. I haven't missed a shot opportunity but was practicing recently and switched from 80 yds to 40 yds and had to let-down because I realized I needed to dial it back to zero...

    WTS/WTT Angled Vortex Razor HD 11-33 X 50 Spotting Scope

    First time posting on classifieds, so not 100% sure how to manage the transaction, but happy to work with someone on it. Full Disclosure - this was a refurbished scope, but still comes with the usual Vortex warranty. $450 or trade for comparable 12x50 or 10x42 binos. Still have the packaging...

    Bow sights?

    I have the new MBG whitetail ascent. It’s a great site for me as I hunt whitetail all year but go west once a year. It is a lighter, more compact sight. Not super expensive and perfect for a treestand. But it is adjustable so it doubles for a western sight for me as well. Works great and rock solid.

    Are 16 year old Swarovski binos worth it?

    I have a pair of 7x30 SLC that are like 30 years old from my father in law. I sent them to Swaro for a clean. It only costed me shipping to Swaro. They cleaned them up and they’re like new. I would probably only trade them out for another pair of alpha binoculars .

    Best tents and/or sleeping bags for pack-in hunts?

    Is this just for you/one person? For the money, there are a couple options for just getting into it that I found were a good value and served me well so far. Luxe Minipeak (just became a sponsor on here) and Luxe trekking pole with tyvek, this can probably all be had for about $130 new...

    Xop vs lone wolf

    Can’t speak to xop. But LW has been good for me. I run and gun LW Assault with LW sticks. The sticks are great but initially took time to get used to the single step. Everyone does it a little different, so depending on the intended use of it you might choose one over another. I don’t sit much...

    How good are 11 year old Swaro SLCs?

    I just sent in a pair of 7x30 SLCs for clean & check and they said that the prisms were damaged (when I sent them, the image seemed fine). They are asking for $500 for a full upgrade. Do you feel that this is a reasonable price and appropriate based on your experience? Mine are from 1990 (so...
