    ISO- Kifaru bag (fusion)

    Give them a call and see if they have any left over in the warehouse. That is probably where i would start.

    When do you pack a spotter?

    elk hunting on the west side never. I dont even take bino's. wilderness blacktail, bears and the super rare mule deer I always take it. I really enjoy digiscoping and use it for that as well so it has a "duel" purpose most trips.

    Sitka pattern poll

    I don't think it matters, as most have said and I like both and own both, but it is MUCH easier for people to see the open country where I hunt, where the subalpine blends much better. Whether that is good or bad depends on your outlook I guess. Id like to see sitka start tailoring subalpine to...

    Oregon crash course fishing trip

    if you have yak's you could take a trip to detroit lake, only about an hour away, and its got decent fish in it and is heavily stoked. If you cant troll, which with yaks's i assume you cant, focus on the inlets as you will have better luck. Detroit Lake, Oregon - Reports, Lake Info, Pictures...

    Gritty Bowmen-Montana Wild

    Brian, you yourself couldn't say anything to change my mind, Montana Wild and their conduct could have easily at any time in this entire process. The list of people other than MW that are to blame according to them is longer than the main beams on the bull you shot this year (Congrats by the...

    Gritty Bowmen-Montana Wild

    I have been a Gritty Bowmen fan since episode one, but I am honest enough to say that my excitement and interest in the podcast has waned as of late, but Brian and Aron are both exceptional guys who put out good content and their base of viewers and listeners continues to sky rocket so I always...

    Swaro sts 80 vs kowa tsn 77

    Easier to look through for me. I honestly couldn't tell you if it has better or worse FOV at the same power and distances but its plenty wide when ive used it. Im sure matt can answer that, as im not nearly as skilled or as technical as he is. I just look through stuff and go off my feelings. I...

    Swaro sts 80 vs kowa tsn 77

    It will be personal preference. both optically are excellent. swaro has the name recognition if that matters, will be easier to sell and probably hold its value well. helical focus, armored body as well Kowa I feel is optically as good if not a touch better, but i enjoy the kowa eyepiece much...

    Is there a quiet wind breaker

    The Jetstream is the quietest one that i am aware of, and that because its a softshell that has a wind stopping membrane it in. most winds shirts get their wind stopping properties from the face fabric itself which makes them inherently loud. You could take a look at the sitka mountain...

    Feds order access to hunters

    I think that is impossible at this point unfortunately, our encroachment on and into forests are to great in my eyes. Look at the Columbia gorge fire. it started with little to no infrastructure near by, and went from a kid throwing a fire cracker to 37k acres and counting in 10 days with...

    Feds order access to hunters

    I think this is pretty spot on. My only issues is if you cut it, don't just give what you cut to another chronic money waster within your "company". Doing business costs money, and unfortunately all the red tape and hoops that have been created by government as checks and balances for that...

    Broadheads for Black Bear

    I didn't read the whole thread, but bears are real soft, and if you hit him where you think you did that is a dead bear unless something funky happened. I like Shuttle T's, QAD exodus and VPA in that order. But your in California so i would suggest grim reapers as an expandable option...

    Leica Demo Binos - Would you buy a pair

    Did the internet ruin it? or did the company who's actions are now able to be broadcast to anyone with a computer have a hand in that rep. Say what you will but Leica's warranty and customer service department was notoriously bad in the camera world, and in the optics sector as well. The...

    Leica Demo Binos - Would you buy a pair

    Warranty if needed. Leica has had a notoriously bad rap in the past regarding warranty work, that coupled with their price is why i think Swaro has taken a pretty commanding lead (IMO) in that segment of the optics world. which is unfortunate as I think Leica makes the best optics in the world...

    CameralandNY Promaster XC525C Over the Phone

    Camera land is stand-up. It has to do with the pricing that they are allowed to advertise I believe.
