I get out every couple years and hunt up river near Sunbeam. Seem to see more deer just up off the Salmon then back in towards the Frank. Last time out I got up into a gnarly,steep,rocky ridge that had a bunch of bucks hanging out. About 1 drainage over from where all the 4 wheelers rode. Had a...
I get out to Stanley every few years with a deer tag. It's mainly about the Elk in that area and not much thought goes into deer hunting. To me it seems the farther you go downriver the more deer sign. Does and small bucks along the road with the occasional 160 buck that someone shoots at the...
I just got a set of 15 HDs and have a Outdoorsman's mount and Silk tripod that will the only optics I will carry on my next hunt. Do you think carrying the 15s with a chest harness be ok? I have a KUIU for my 10s that I love but my son will be using them. I'm just not sure about unhooking for...
I'm going to try getting to a store this weekend and handle the Vortex, Zeiss and Meopta to see how they look and feel. Try to find any little issues such as eyecups or relief. Probably pass on the new Swaros which wouldn't be the same model as a used slighly older set that would be in this...
I'm looking into buying a set of15s comparing Vortex, Zeiss, Swaro and Meopta and would like to know if going with the Vortex would significantly hurt my glassing ability at first light or under cloudy conditions compared to the other 3?
I've been thinking about upgrading from my Nikon 13x33 spotter to something with more power but don't have anywhere to try out a Vortex. It would be used at the range, groundhog hunting but my occasional western hunt is my main concern. I want to stay in a mid weight range for packing. I just...
I've used the bighorns and they have been fantastic boots under tough conditions but they are heavy. I wouldn't call them a cold weather boot but have had no foot issues using them hardly broke in.
I just got a Kuiu bino harness and was wondering if using the lens caps is necessary? It looks well padded inside and I think the caps would be a pain and defeat the ease of using it.
I'm going to mount a gunbearer on a Mystery Ranch CC frame and the website is a little confusing as to which one will fit the Molle webbing on the hipbelt.
I've hunted around Stanley about 6 times over the last 20 years and agree with the previous post. I come from out of state to hunt with a relative that lives there so I don't get to scout but have learned where to look. Buck size has diminished from when I first went out there but if you get up...
