    32 vs 42

    Thanks Matt. Do you find the 8's are enough when glassing big country? I tend to shake a bit and my current 10x42 binos are hard to see good detail at long distances. I would carry my Nikon ED 50 spotter for closer looks. My thought is the 8x32's would be great for glassing because of my...

    Trophy Rock

    I compared the two, Redmond and Trophy, and they have the same minerals. The Redmond site lists the amount of minerals found but I can't find the amounts found in the Trophy Rock on their site. Will keep looking. Called Murdochs and they sell the Redmond rock - 7lb for $12. I believe I can...

    Trophy Rock

    I know there are a ton of things on the market for whitetail. My buddy has used several on his property and can't really see any results. I read an article last week about Trophy Rock and it caught my attention. Naturally mined with a bunch of minerals. I've talked to a guy who swears by it...

    32 vs 42

    Good stuff here. I'm saving up points at Cabela's for quality glass. I'm around $1,500 at this point and was going to wait to buy 10x42 Swarovision binos. Now, after reading this it seems that most prefer the 8x32. I have not tested the difference in low light. I don't have any idea of the...

    Colorado Elk Rut Update

    All was silent for me. Did see 7 bulls on Saturday. Unknown to me two walked behind me at 60 yards only to identify themselves as they blew up once they winded me. Saw several more cruising mid day. Could not close the deal in the open aspen grove. Not enough cover to make a move. Had one...

    Great advise on the rental/demo route! I will have to check out the Golden shop to see what they have. Would be good to ride several different bikes back to back to get a good feel for them. Awesome info on this thread for a rookie!

    The single track will be my style with nice rewards of the downhill coming home. Should I feel frisky I may try the rock climbing stuff. To me when I see that picture I think broken collor bone or wrist. Safe bet is the single track. I have been told the 26er is best for technical rides and...

    Good info guys. Keep it coming... 26 or 29? What are the benefits to both. I'm guessing that is a personal feel thing yet it seems most are wanting a 29er. I've been looking at used bikes and most are 26ers with the owners selling to get a 29er. Being new to this I don't have a firm grip...

    Gotcha. I was looking at the Yeti sb95. It that Yeti's first 29er? I thought the 575 was a 29er. There goes my purchase price up 1k should I go with Yeti. I have only rode the SJ at this point. The bike shop I went to didn't have any xl frame Yeti's to ride.

    Thanks for all the info guys. Good stuff! Is there a substantial difference in the FSR/575 6" and the SJ Epic which I believe is 5"? Where does this difference in travel come into play. Rookie question I know, but everyone has to start somewhere. Why not Rokslide.... Matt

    Another questions I have is when should you consider a full suspension bike and when should you consider a hard tail bike? Seems a lot of the guys in the Leadville ride did not use full suspension bikes. When is it a must to have?

    His name is Alban Lakata. He was riding a Canyon Mtn Bike, I believe. It was a hard tail to boot. I have a pic on my phone of him coming across the finishing line. There are so many different configurations out there for a bike. I do like the fact that Yeti is built in Golden. Something as...

    my pack is on the heavy side, do you think it's too much?

    Besides dropping weight with pack, sleeping bag and shelter I found that I continue ro bring too much food and clothes. Very hard for me to scale down. This year I will have a change of socks, boxers and one shirt. That will help out tremendously. I seem to always bring food back. Will...

    Last mtn bike I bought was 20yrs ago. Still have it. Wow how things have changed. I'm looking at the stumpjumper fsr comp or carbon. A good friend loves his Yeti 575. So I will be looking at both closely. All the technology is over my head not being around bikes for so long. Will most...

    I can't stand running. This year I have forced my self to run and have done over 250 miles. I'm thinking of dropping the coin down and picking up a mtn bike to take the spot of running. For those that ride do you feel you are getting a beneficial workout for you legs and lungs. It seems...

    You can buy one piece of gear....what is it?

    The Duplex Frame works great. I have the T1 for it and also the cargo panel. My first hunt of the year is a truck camping type hunt. I bought a couple different bags to attach to the cargo panel and I'm ready for day hunting. Can carry my water, kill kit and food for the day and then have...
