    Mono pass through?

    Any recommendation? Looking for something less likely to get caught up but I don't necessarily want to go way up in bullet grain.

    Mono pass through?

    Both broadside. Behind shoulder shots. Sounds like these last 2 of mine were just an anomoly.

    Mono pass through?

    I'd estimate 2475 and 2600 (270 yds and 212 yds respectively).

    Mono pass through?

    My last two elk have been killed with a single shot and dropped within 20 yards using 270 cal 130 gr Barnes TTSX. Last year's bullet barely expanded (first pic). This year's was much better. Both found just under the hide. Is this normal? Not complaining, I just expected the bullet to pass...

    Got mine used for $1200. Same price point as used SLC HDs if you shop around.

    Suggestions for 10X42 in the $1000 range

    Zeiss SFL 10x40. I tried sets of SLCs, Ultravid HDs and Razors, but the SFLs checked all the boxes for me in that price range.

    First Lite White Cloud

    Curious about this jacket too. Appears to be quite a step up in warmth from the Uncompahgre and a bit less than the Chamberlin. Anyone use it this season?

    Maven vs Vortex vs Zeiss binos

    I just finished a season with the 10x40 SFLs and love them. Highly recommend.

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    HIking back to the truck after a morning of steelhead fishing with a friend in the remote Oregon coast range. We were following an old grassy decommissioned forest service road and spotted a mountain lion walking toward us. He was a couple hundred yards away at that point and eventually saw us...

    What do you wear while hiking in the rain?

    I wear a sacrificial t-shirt while hiking up to my stand/hunt area. It's soaked by the time I'm done. Dump it, swap to base layer, mid layer, etc and retrieve on the way back.

    Vortex Razor 16-48

    I had one for a few years and thought it was a solid all-around spotter for the price (on sale). Only replaced it because I wanted something lighter weight for backpack hunting.

    Bino helo

    I was in your position a couple years ago and after trying a few other comparable models (SLC, Ultravid and Razor) ended up with a mint used set of 10x40 Zeiss SFLs. Really impressed with them so far.
