Day 2
With a close encounter the previous day we decided to go back to the same area and see if we could glass them heading into the timber. Not wanting it bump anything in the dark we hiked in to the first good vantage point and waited for first light. After a bit of scanning, I spotted what...
Day 1
Waking up coughing we realized that having the tipi guyouts lifted for ventilation wasn’t ideal in smoky conditions. It allowed the smoke easy access into the tent rather than being forced thru the mesh top vent. Not wanting to go on a long hike in the smoke we decided to go glass another...
This will be my fifth year hunting out west and doing a write up. I really enjoy doing them and getting feedback from the more experienced guys. This year I’ll be hunting the MT combo license with a friend and then hunting CO deer with my dad and brother. The plan will be to archery elk hunt in...

Warning on pic rail sights:
I recently purchased the new pic attachment for black gold sights. I was excited to see the benefits of moving the sight inline with the riser and hoping not to need a side bar. After installing the pic rail on my RX-5 I realized that there is no accommodation to...
