    What Binoculars Do You Like for Big Game?

    From my experience at distance with good “chest binos” you can only get a general idea of soze. And maybe soo some of the longer tines. But your not going to see that 3x3 is actually a 3x4.

    Starter spotting scope

    I went this route and bought a Cheap spotter 5 years ago. In my opinion its a huge wast of your time and money decent binos out perform a cheap spotter pretty easily. Mine got left behind a lot and when it did come woth me id always be dissapointed in it.

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    Id guess that outfitter just had bad experience with new people that got into hunting recently from you tube that have little practice or experience but heard the 6.5 was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Also probably the same people who have all the best gear but dont put time into...

    This Happened To Me - 2022

    Not me but this year on a stalk my buddy’s reliable release of 10+ years locked tight on him on the stalk. So i got to sneak up and shoot it instead. He later fixed it. We chalked it up to the dust since were easterners. It was just a little buck but he got to shoot a white tail two days later.
