    First Elk Hunt

    I know you're likely already on the road, but throw on some cow calling tracks and practice with your diaphragm call while traveling out there. Don't worry about bugles, but get those cow mews and chirps down. Always be mindful of the wind. If elk hear you, they run out of sight. If they see...

    Bino tripod setup

    I have tried one clamp style, was not my thing. It was better than the Vortex post, but nowhere near as user friendly ad the outdoorsmans stud. Which clamp style do you use?

    Better to Draw a tag to hunt every couple years? Or wait to cash in big at hard to draw area?

    Save points for a special hunt in a state that does bonus points, not preference points. You'll never catch up to preference points. Put in for multiple states every year and spread out your draw odds so you draw a different stare every year. If you don't draw, go OTC. If you draw two in a year...

    Anyone like to cook / bake?

    Despise doing the dishes, so I'm the one who cooks, lol. Baking is a different story, as much as I try, it is not my strong point. I'd be down for a recipe sharing thread too, got an entire spreadsheet saved on my Google drive just for that.

    Bino tripod setup

    Outdoorsmans stud is the way to go. Used the vortex one for a few years, and can confirm what seand Saud about the wobble. The Outdoorsmans is rock solid, no wobble, super quick to setup and to switch out binos if needed.

    Best Scope Magnification for Deer Hunting.

    Given your current situation, yes, it is too much magnification. Stick with a 2x-4x on the low end for that rifle, and save the 6x for your Antelope/Coues rifle.

    What optics to compliment 10x binos - S. AZ

    For coues, I'd definitely go with 15x56's before buying anything else, since you already have 10's. That was my setup for many years chasing coues down south. If money and weight didn't matter, I'd run 8's on my chest, 15's in my pack and either Kowa Highlanders or a 115 BTX.

    Kowa 88 Update

    I have the 884, and run two different tripods depending on my hunt, either a Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber or an Outdoorsmans medium. Both have Jim White pan heads on them.

    For those that Strap their bow to their pack for the walk in

    My pack, an Outdoorsmans, has a pouch for the bottom limb/cam to sit in. I just use tge packs compressions straps to lock it into place. Just need to remember that it sticks down in case you decide to sit with your pack on. Have never had an issue with any type of abrasion or damage from...

    Minimalist waist pack for tree stand

    I've been using a cheap, no frills one from BPS for a decade now. Bought some HD suspenders for it when chasing elk, but it's perfect without them for getting to and sitting in a treestand.
