    Swarovski NL Pure 12x42 Vs EL 12x50

    It’s funny the folks bringing up and or trying to convince you to step down to 10’s when the post is clearly just asking about 12’s. Never fails. With that being said I’d personally get the EL’s. They’re crazy good imo

    Sitka Finally did it!

    This! It’s insane that anyone is willing to pay these prices and then have to often times have them tailored or deal with the size being off.

    well, guess these things are real

    If only we could all be so legendary to have this as a first post. Hat tipped sir.

    Most fun bird to hunt?

    All of them! Thankfully we don’t have to choose. Late season mallards, spring turkeys, November pheasants, grouse on a chilly fall morning up high, even a good old dove hunt all have a special place in my heart!

    Where would you call home?

    Ideally right were I am with enough money to go where I want from here. I live in Utah.

    Goose Call

    It’s hard to beat a Grounds when it comes to goose calls. I’d highly recommend calling them up and they will get you set in the right direction.

    Trouble Duck Calling (Please Help LOL)

    So the plain truth is it’s just going to take some committed practice and then after that more practice. Nothing can replace that. You don’t know what you’re doing wrong until you know what you’re doing wrong. And that takes lots of figuring it out. Best instructional is subjective but...

    Trouble Duck Calling (Please Help LOL)

    The bouncing hen is the last thing a beginning caller needs to worry about. And if we’re being honest is mildly important if at all when working birds. Especially on a double reed call. The other part I agree with 💯

    Do you take small game hunting as seriously as big game?

    I used to take waterfowl more serious than any other hunting I did. It was the main thing I cared to chase. Money wise I’ve spent stupid amounts of money chasing waterfowl. I’d hunt deer and as soon as it was over it was waterfowl. Sometimes deer season was a nuisance. I still love it but I’ve...

    .410 viable at this point?

    For 90% of bird hunters, no. A lot more goes into than having super shot available. For turkeys where the target is standing most of the time, sure. For wing shooting it’s mostly irresponsible for all but the very best of shooters and even then it should be considered a novelty

    Yeti Go Box / Rugged Cases / other options?

    The Milwaukee packouts are very hard to beat as well. I’d take a variety of those over the other two options albeit the yeti and roam are very nice. The packouts might be the best built modular system out there. Problem is once you start collecting them it’s hard to stop

    Yeti Go Box / Rugged Cases / other options?

    Don’t overlook a dewalt tough chest. Very happy with mine. Haul all sorts of stuff and have yet to have it fail in the back of the truck, even in some pretty extreme rain.

    One Turkey decoy

    We bought one just for fun and it really does work! Best part is it weighs nothing and takes up very little space. We have some great video of that thing getting beat up

    If you were starting from scratch, which daypack setup would you buy?

    I’d definitely lean towards one with a little better meat hauling abilities. Don’t see the Stryker setup ever being an “overkill” item. More of a ready for anything

    On the lookout for a turkey vest

    I’m guilty of overpacking. Probably the reason why I use this setup. I could only suggest getting rid of the things you really don’t need. I personally feel the backpack route is superior mainly because I mountain hunt and I plan on being there all day. Really close to mule deer hunting. If...

    On the lookout for a turkey vest

    Sitka has the brown vest that might fit the bill. I personally have my calls in my bino harness. Used the webbing on the side of the bino harness to attach a bear spray holster for my box call and my pot call with striker fit inside behind my binos. Then I use a day pack to carry my chair and...

    40 yard turkey

    Possibly, but the difference is now it’s become the thing to do. So more people are doing it. I’m not going to say what’s “ethical” or not. Ethics are ultimately at the discretion of the person applying them. I’m sure people have been taking long range shots at turkeys since the first turkey...

    40 yard turkey

    TSS and the pattern video craze has no doubt wounded a lot of birds. There’s no doubt of the effectiveness of TSS retaining energy at distance. This thread alone is proving the point though with several posts admitting of shooting birds at beyond 40 yards. The temptation to take those shots is...

    Athlon Cronus G2 Spotter vs Kowa 773

    Mad at myself for not getting the G2 when camera land had them in the 850 price range.
