    Maven Doubler question

    I'm looking at getting a Maven Doubler for my Vortex Razor UHD 18x56 Binoculars. Looks like the B.1/B.2 eyepiece will fit, but Maven cannot confirm they'll fit. Anybody have experience?

    What's wrong with more grizzlies in Idaho?

    The premise behind this thread is, to put it kindly, idiotic. There's not one good thing possible about more Grizzlies in the lower 48, and never will be. There's a LOT of bad things about more Grizzlies and there'll be even more bad things to come.

    Passing up smaller bulls

    This is me. Have passed a lot of great opportunities the last ten years. My kids keep the freezer full, and I'm unabashedly hunting for the wall now.

    Is your Unit on Fire?

    I'm living in the Watch Duty app right now. Some fires right on the edge of my unit. It's only the beginning of August!

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    I've always thought about precautions as diminishing the distance my camp smell will travel. Stronger odors can be detected at longer distances, and may be more enticing.

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    I sleep with my food, but am very careful about keeping everything clean and food sealed into airtight plastic. I eat away from where I sleep, and stay clean of food. I always put my food by my feet.

    How many days before your hunt do you scout

    Be in the woods at much as possible, but prioritize hunting days. If you can only be gone a certain amount of days then by all means make those days hunting days. Never give up hunting days in favor of scouting days except in certain uncommon situations. Most of my scouting has been with a...

    What and how do you carry your sidearm in the highcountry?

    I find it almost beyond belief that you've hunted those areas and not saw Grizzly tracks. I hunted Wyoming around Yellowstone, and saw actual Grizzlies nearly every day and plenty of tracks. I would never go without my Springfield 10mm, usually in an Ivory Holster on my Exo, but there's plenty...

    Preferred dates for OTC Idaho

    I agree with this, but would add that weather and moon phase would play a role for me.

    15x binos or spotter?

    This is true, but incomplete. It's also true that a spotter will never do what 18x56 Binos will do, even way beyond 1500 yards. Being able to glass with two eyes will lead to finding way more animals. Only area a spotter is truly superior is counting tines, but you'll find less tines to...

    15x binos or spotter?

    I sold my spotter because it really never left the house anymore. I can glass comfortably all day thru my Razor UHD 18x56, and find way more animals than I did with 10x and a spotter. The Sig Zulu 9 or Zulu 10 15x56 are a great bang for your buck too.

    Do you take your clothes off to sleep on a backpack hunt?

    I like to let my clothes, including merino base layers, air out overnight. The only additional clothes I take on an extended backpack hunt is a pair of socks and a pair of merino underwear. I will completely strip every night and rotate socks and underwear so that there's always a set of those...

    Sitting Tripod for Glassing.

    I run the VA-5 on one tripod and the Tricer LP on another. Both tripods are Slik 624's. Love the weight of the Tricer, but it takes constant adjusting of the tension when I change my viewing angle from level to downward, etc... The VA-5 is much better for long glassing sessions because you can...

    Sirui VA-5 the one

    I run the VA-5 on one tripod and the Tricer LP on another. Both tripods are Slik 624's. Love the weight of the Tricer, but it takes constant adjusting of the tension. The VA-5 is much better for long glassing sessions. I just put in over 16 hours behind the glass over the weekend, and was so...
