    Vortex Diamondback HD

    They are up for 300 now. Just an FYI the cabelas/bps vipers for 300 are the older versions with narrower fov. Still pretty good Binos but they are different than the current model, take a look at the specs

    Original Razor Binos

    Looking at a pair of the original Vortex Razors 10x42s. How were these older binos regarded? Are they a big step down from the new Razor HDs? Alternatively I can get Athlon Cronus G2 for the same price

    Critique my keeping it light-ish on a budget

    I don’t know the specs for the new UL tarps but you don’t need mesh or footprint. Just some tyvek or polycro under your pad. The tipis are very weatherproof & I’m a big fan. I just don’t see a one layer tipi being heavier than a tent with mesh and poles.

    Critique my keeping it light-ish on a budget

    Instead of the tent get one of the new BA UL tipi tarps? They look sweet! Don’t need the tent mesh for most western hunts & you’ll save a lot of weight without tent poles

    Yeah they do but it's seems to usually be (*items under $50) or something like that

    12's vs 10's & 15's - Rifle Elk

    What would you go with for elk hunting in Oct/Nov in relatively open country? A single set of 12's or both 10's & 15's? All binos would be on a tripod and the mid-range glass. Just need to find elk, and tell it's a large vs small bull, but don't need to make out much antler detail.

    Cooking in Wall Tent - Carbon monoxide

    We were all shocked when ours started buzzing. Our Coleman stove is nothing crazy either. Not really sure how big of a concern this should be but it kept us outside and cold.

    Cooking in Wall Tent - Carbon monoxide

    We were using one of those Coleman kitchen stoves in our wall tent last year and almost immediately the carbon monoxide alarm went off. So we moved our kitchen table outside and cooked in the single digits in the dark, which was not nearly as enjoyable as it would have been in the warm wall...

    WTB Lightweight Tarp

    Take a look at silnylon tent footprints. The big camp companies often sell them on closeout. They work pretty well for a lightweight, quick, cheap glassing/emergency tarp

    Am I an idiot?

    Yes get a Ruger American predator with a 18” barrel. Cheap to buy, cheap to shoot. If you get a can one day it’s a great host.

    CO archery bear (while elk hunting)

    Go for it. They can still be up high and it would be fun if you saw one. Some units have a sept rifle tag

    Big Agnes Tarp/Tipi's

    Great news. The tipis have been underserved by the big players in recent years

    Hairline cracks on B&C stock

    Is this worth reaching out to a few gunsmiths to see if they could open up the cracks and fill with epoxy?? Would this be feasible?

    Snake ID?

    Not a copperhead. They have a “hershey kisses” pattern

    Hairline cracks on B&C stock

    Cracks are in the stock, just barely visible on the exterior. It’s an blind mag staggerfeed so the Accustock would need some modifications to fit. I did see some stocks on Numrich that would fit though

    Hairline cracks on B&C stock

    My friend picked up a second-hand Savage 110 7mm rem mag with a B&C stock. After further examination, he noticed some hairline cracks in the stock near both the recoil lug and tang. It's too late now to do anything about his purchase and he overlooked this at the time. Wondering a few things...

    Short Barreled Rifle

    That's a different type of short-barreled rifle than the one the ATF defines (under 16" barrel). If you are getting a can you will quickly learn all about the wonderful intricacies of the NFA. If you want a can on a bolt action hunting rifle 20" is popular, 18" can work too. 22" is a pretty...

    DIY Maine Grouse

    I went up there when we got lucky to draw a moose tag. Early October. After we shot our moose we did some grouse hunting. Basically just walking through the woods off the logging roads. We had no dog and had no problem flushing birds. It was a blast.
