    ATV rifle cases

    I'm no lawyer, but "should" is a suggestion. "Must" would be the word to use to make it directive. Once again, I'm not a lawyer so you "should" not take this as legal advice. Oh, and I used to use a Kolpin, but my rifle banged around inside and wore through the finish. I ended up switching to...

    Pack covers

    I just posted the same question a couple weeks ago. I ended up going with the Mystery Ranch cover with the hood. It's a little heavier than the others but I have no worries about its waterproofness.

    New Full Curl Field Guide for Dall Sheep

    That's much better than their guidance in the past. Good on them for producing quality material for the beginning Sheep hunter.

    Swarovski BTX *brand new*

    A good buddy had a brand new (never even opened) BTX for sale. He's not going to use it this year so he's going to offer it up for sale if someone needs one. He's asking MSRP ($2988) plus shipping. If anyone is interested PM me and I'll get you contact info.

    Needing new bino's Leica, Vortex or Zeiss

    I would pick the Leicas or the Zeiss for sure. The new Razors being shipped out are now made in China. If you know you like the Zeiss and they are $300 cheaper, that seems like an easy decision.

    Best/Lightest tripod that doesnt start with SLIK

    Seems to be pretty good to me. It's pans/rotates side to side very smoothly due to the lower part of the head (sorry I don't know nomenclature for tripod heads) and you can turn a knob to change the resistance. The ball also moves smooth a has a good range of resistance. FWIW, all my spotters...

    Spotting scope upgrade

    Look into the Kowa TSN-603/604 with the 20-60 eyepiece. Very light and you should be able to squeeze it in right at your budget. Also look at the Opticron MM4. It has two eyepiece options, the SDL-V2 is better optically and it's waterproof, but it may bust your budget. Those would be my...

    Spotting scope upgrade

    It all comes down to how much you're looking to spend. The little Razor seems appealing due to the price, but it's just too small unless that's your sole reason for buying it. In the $700ish range buying used or one of the lesser known, but well regarded spotters is the way to go. Opticron...

    Kifaru Parka CB Med

    I'm 5'10" with a slender torso and it fits me perfect. I wouldn't want a thick layer on underneath, however.

    Kifaru Parka CB Med

    Well, it won't fit in a flat rate box, so shipping would get expensive. Parka still available at the moment....

    How to Post Pictures using IMGUR

    I can't figure out Imgur on my phone. I guess I'll try Flickr ETA: I just figured it out I think. Not as intuative as PB, but at least it works.

    Maven 80mm vs Vortex Razor 85mm?

    Are those your only options? Any reason not to consider other brands?

    Guns/Optics/Loads settled in for my trip

    Depending on your area (I don't know the rules where you're going) the spotter is pretty valuable for analyzing browtines from a distance. That can sometimes make that smaller bull legal. I have a 33" rack with 3 browtines, they were impossible to see from a distance with binos. I keep a small...

    What is a good light weight tarp that won't break the bank? 6x9'?

    I don't have their tarp, but Borah Gear makes good stuff.

    Best/Lightest tripod that doesnt start with SLIK

    Sirui T025x at 1.5 lbs and $200. It even comes with a nice panning ball head. Hard to beat the price vs quality. They are popular with backpacking photographers but haven't been talked about much in the hunting circles. I found out about them from a photographer buddy who got it at the local...
