    Swarovski NL Pure Binoculars?

    I was going to say the same thing lol. I've posted a few technical questions on that forum over the years trying to get a more specific answer than I would find on Rokslide. Things can go sideways fast for those birders...especially when someone challenges somebody else's math. There is some...

    Swarovski NL Pure Binoculars?

    This is where I am curious to see the difference as time unfolds. I am in the market for one of the two. Ive saved my $$ forever. I am curious to see the light gathering difference between the 12NLs and the 12ELs (in low light obviously). Its hard to imagine that it will be significant. Ive been...

    Viper Tricks Are In the Mail!

    I have 5 arrows in my quiver. 3 trypans and 2 kudu point broadheads. I have been shooting this combo for the past two months and have them tuned to a "T". I cannot wait for September. I am ready to go!

    Back tension hunting

    I hunt with a silverback and have never regretted doing so. Hunting with a back tension release, if you're training properly, is going to make you go through your process and thus have a much higher likelihood of a good shot under pressure. I have harvested several animals with my silverback and...

    So who actually eats bear?

    I love it. Like others have said, summer sausage, roasts etc. Its a predator so I'm a fan of people hunting them regardless, I do enjoy eating though (black bear). I've never had/tried grizzly.

    Arizona 7e experiences

    I have never hunted that tag, but I have heard through friends as well as a few podcasts (Jay Scott's podcast specifically) that the 7E hunt is one of the worst in the state due to what they've done in recent years with tag numbers and wiping all the elk out. Jay had someone on last year who...

    Swarovski NL Pure Binoculars?

    Was hoping to pick up the 12x50ELs later this year (after fall hunting seasons), will be watching to see what people think about the 12x50 vs the new 12x42. Ive been saving forever, I like the idea a bit more of a 12x50 but am certainly going to be open to the 12x42. Great times to be looking...

    How do you carry bow while hunting?

    In my hand 99.999999% of the time. It'll only take once for an elk to walk in front of you at 10 yards while you are "hiking in to your spot". It happened to me once and never again. As a result of hiking with my bow in hand, I've harvested a handful of animals over the years that were simply...

    What Western State To Retire In?

    Dont forget that taxes are virutally non-existant and the cost of living is amongst the lowest in the country.

    Wyoming Mule Deer/Gary Fralick

    For those of you who talk to Gary from year to year (I always value the summer's when I am calling him with my questions)...I found this cool video through Wyoming F&G. Data from this project has influenced several other states and how they manage migration.

    What Western State To Retire In?

    Probably a bit away from what you are thinking but what about Alaska? Incredible hunting (albeit behind a lot of hard work). Every state has its pluses and minuses. I do hear the points about cities across the west becoming more like California. Growth/people moving to these cities will...

    Idaho NR Elk Tags are SOLD OUT as of 6/17/20

    With the amount of demand still for tags, I would imagine it will be very difficult still as the amount of available NR tags going forward through the return process will be minimal when you look at the big picture. There will be a couple here or there but I would imagine a lot of people are...

    Wyoming Cows

    I already drew my WY tag for this year but was curious how the Gen tag is treated in the leftover draw. Are there any Gen tags typically available in the leftover draw? I always figured the leftovers were unit specific and didnt know how the gen (for NR obviously) was treated.

    california draw is posted

    Nada for me on all species....default to AO again which is fine. Ive come to expect far more from my out of state apps than my california apps and I'm a resident here lol.

    Roof Top Tent

    The term overlanding makes me want to throwup. The wife and I are about to sell a 4runner and likely purchase a Tundra. We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. My wife hunts as well. Recently I came across a guy at a trailhead with a Go Fast Camper (GFC) and upon taking a look at it, it was...

    Kifaru Hoodlum Question

    With the Hoodlum, I dont think they are necessary. There are a ton of straps for you to compress down whatever you need...even skull/antlers/capes etc.

    Pistol Carry with MR Sawtooth

    I actually run the MR holster and really like it. I've run it for two years when hunting elk in Grizz country and been very happy with it. Not super beefy, easy to remove, doesnt break the bank but is also not as "secure" as a lot of other options people have mentioned above as well as on...
