I haven’t looked through the SFL or conquests but went right for the SF last summer and have been blown away. I consider selling for NLs this winter and after trying a pair I stuck with the SFs. My eyes preferred them
I was up for caribou last fall and there were stock trailers in the same spot. I hiked in for sheep up the chandalar shelf a few years back and we saw horse tracks a long ways back there
Yup. Found myself wanting to post about my hunts too much and got caught up in the bragging. Deleted social media and got back to the real reasons. Accomplishing personal goals, time with family and friends, providing food for my family.
I have game bags that I use occasionally use but I use contractor bags more. No hassle of washing or cleaning and my pack stays cleaner because game bags will leak blood. When I’m not far from the truck the quarters are in a cooler with an hour or two. And even on pack in hunts I use it to get...
Me and a buddy killed 2 bulls on the first day of our hunt this year 4 miles back in with about 2000’ of elevation change. Took 3 days to get them and our camp out. Only had 4 days set aside to hunt. Was a good learning lesson, if we killed ours the last day I don’t know how we could have done...
I love my zamberlan 980s. You’ll appreciate the higher tops for ankle support in the mountains. These are uninsulated which I prefer when I’m hiking most of the day. I don’t know what temps you see whitetail hunting, but all of the stand hunting I’ve always used insulated rubber boots. Doesn’t...
Yup! I never used a level and set the scope to look straight to me. Then started leveling and everything looked canted. Been getting used to it over the years tho and starting to feel more and more normal
I have an upright and have a couple shelves of ground. Couple shelves of steak. Couple shelves of brats. And a shelf of salmon and fish. I don’t worry about weights or keeping notes, I can roughly guess my loinventory
Perfectly said. I’m glad my parents didn’t set me up for life. I’ve had to work my tail off to pay for college, and am still working on the last of my debt. I worked a heck of a lot harder and learned a lot more about responsibility when it was all on me. Raise your kids right and help where you...
I’ve been noticing some of the same jiggle, and wondering where the heck that came from. Too much cheese during the holidays
I try to do a 30 minute lift each day and then run. Strengthening my lungs has been the biggest help come hunting season. With young kids I just don’t have the time to...
This past summer I got victory SFs and absolutely love them. I even tried pures this past week and prefer the SFs glass and ergonomics. My only gripe is the distance between eye cup stops. I found my sweet spot is halfway between the first and second stop. So I’ve been just trying to keep them...
