    Current production basic 3-9ish?

    Have you considered the Meopta Optika5 2-10x42? I haven't seen nor used one but all the reviews I've read have been positive. I've had one in my cart on Camerland for like 6 months now but haven't bought it yet. It's $380...

    Keep hunting?

    You're getting those reps in, asking questions instead of making assumptions. You're busting out sets like no other and gonna be big some day!!!

    Keep hunting?

    I can't really answer that question because I've only lost 2 animals in 19 years. One elk a long time ago and a small buck last year. **AFTER CONDUCTING A THOROUGH SEARCH**, I kept hunting in both situations but didn't get another elk that year. Didn't get another buck last year either but did...

    Keep hunting?

    Brilliant. If you need something that basic spelled out for you, maybe you should exercise your brain. Movin' on....

    Keep hunting?

    The situation you posed is pretty extreme compared to what I envisioned. 3 shots, lots of blood, and only a few hours spent tracking? Thats f**ked up. Some of these guys on here are responding as if the "keep hunting" mentality means we're just blasting away and if it don't drop in place, we go...

    ~$225 Rangefinder Selection

    I have the Midas g1 8x42's and they are great. Very comparable to the vortex viper binos that cost way more.

    ~$225 Rangefinder Selection

    I got the sig kilo 1800 bdx a couple years ago on sale and it is awesome. I think the 1600 would be just as great. Very accurate and the red led makes it stupid easy to see in all light conditions. With that said, the Athlon 1 mile at that price point is a tremendous value. That was the range...

    Keep hunting?

    I agree that hunting is a privilege and not a right. No argument there. If a particular unit is on the brink of having no legal shooting animals due to what is probably a myriad of reasons, then I agree that stronger ethics might apply. But I don't think people with my mentality are a...

    Keep hunting?

    Yes, burning it for nothing. No carcass means no meat which means you have nothing. I can't feed my family on nothing. What's do you mean by "decent animal"? Are you talking about big racks or legal shooters? Lastly, how certain are you that hunters with my mentality are the reason why game...

    Keep hunting?

    If a hunter isn't doing everything they can to fill their freezer, what's the point of hunting? Trophies on the wall? Virtue signaling and bragging online? Shit happens. No point in crying over a lost animal and burning a tag for nothing. You brush yourself off, try to learn from the...

    Keep hunting?

    You so negative! Hahaha I can see where you're coming from. I'm not naive because I have twice witnessed hunters throw in the towel super quick. I put hunters like that into the same category as road warriors and the guys that go striding thru prime area at 9 am back to their camps for coffee...

    Keep hunting?

    Umm, maybe because people such as myself think that the "exhaustive search" part goes without saying. Though it may not be true, I assume everybody searches to the best of their abilities. I don't know about everybody else but I am a meat hunter. I don't give a damn about antlers or anything...

    Keep hunting?

    Keep hunting. I've seen a few deer, elk and one bear that had been shot in previous years, still getting around. For example: Ever seen a 3 legged bear? I saw one cruising a steep drainage with no issue. First elk I killed had a blown out front knee and a muzzle loader sabot in its hip. He...

    Attention Whitetail killers. Let’s get some photographs on the Whitetail page under the contest or the meat pole.

    WKR - we could use your help! Looking inside for free candy and memes

    Meh, maybe he just smartened up, realized swaro's are for posers, bought some Athlon's instead, took a out a cashier from dollar general for steaks, had some fun, and put the rest into savings. You don't need swaro's to look at spikes from 100 yds away! Hahaha

    CPW releases map of potential wolf reintroduction area

    What you write is all very reasonable. The ridiculousness that I've called out in threads like these comes from people talking like wolves should still be extinct in these areas. Everybody talks a big game about ethics, stewardship and whatnot until the subject of wolves come up. Frankly, it's...

    CPW releases map of potential wolf reintroduction area

    Do you have a link to any articles about this? I'm not seeing any on google. All I can find is articles about a couple hunting dogs that were attacked by wolves on public land. You should consider structuring your arguments with citations from reliable sources. Especially considering that...

    I'm not aware of any wild elk, moose, or mule deer in IL. What's your point?

    CPW releases map of potential wolf reintroduction area

    I found an older yet interesting article about the wolves in north WI, from a quick Google search. Here's an excerpt from it: "Eric Koens, who has a herd of about 100 beef cattle in Rusk County and is a director with the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association, said big problems loom because northern...
