    Between these two scopes- which one?

    Swaro - I have two z6i riflescopes - one on a .280 and one on a .260, both have done well for years - These were both handed down by a family member that no longer can hunt. He's done very well with his .280 and killing some mighty fine bucks. He didn't shoot the .260 much, I've played with it...

    Amazon Prime?

    Why do you have to pay for a label if you have prime? I just use either the: 1) no box no label free 2) box needed and choose the location I will take it back to We've never paid for shipping.

    Ladder Stand Stakes for Oval Tubing?

    I don't use stakes on the bottom -- at the top and the middle use ratchet straps -- just kick the legs into the dirt at the bottom.

    Tripod Head Recommendation? Will only use for a plate and bag.

    Why use a head, just build a plate using a small piece 5x7, 6x6 of hdpe and some 3/8" threaded inserts (use your soldering gun to press the insert into the hdpe, you can unscrew the plate for transport) the bag will easily sit on top, or if it has a strap, strap it around the plate.

    Tripod Guidance

    I spent less than $350 on my complete setup - carbon fiber leofoto tripod lm363 (only 3 leg extensions, but huge legs for stability) - hdpe sheet 5x7 -- 3/8" threaded inserts (built my own shooting table) I use the table to glass and shoot off. My gun doesn't take an arca clamp, I would try...

    What, no axe collection thread?

    I carry regularly a double bladed axe and a bush axe, (I wouldn't know where to start with the names of them.) They are old, handles have been replaced a bunch. I wouldn't know where to start clearing trails without them. People around the camp know me for those two tools. They are always...

    Best layering VEST option - SG Cirque Lite, Kuiu Kenai, or Sitka Kelvin Aerolite?

    You want the best wool - get an old army surplus wool jacket and use a seam ripper and rip the sleeves out of it. Warmest for a few hours -- tidewe battery operated vest, wowie, that is some nice heat. If I hunt all day, I have an extra battery pack that lasts, just a cheap one off Am%^&*...

    Heavy duty wool clothing

    Heavy wool clothing, are you going to be stationary, i.e. duck or goose hunting? I have an old Orvis heavy shawl collar wool sweater, man that thing is nice in the duck blind, but way too thick for walking in the woods to deer hunt. It is even too thick to wear just walking to a stand. I have...

    Joseph von Benedikt vs Formidilosus

    There is a key, "when we listened." Anyone care to incorporate listening into their arsenal? Go farther into what listening really encompasses, most of us don't do it. The words listening and attention go hand in hand. There is nothing wrong with wanting to try new things, just look at all...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Use a blacklight on it, especially with a little water on it, you might be surprised. I've used it on several articles of clothing, those have been relegated to the work bin. Yeah, I know, many don't believe in the UV thing, I do. You will be surprised at the amount of UV in hunting materials...

    What is everyone using for a smartwatch?

    I haven't had a watch in years, I just get by, who cares really what time it is, hahahaha. Ok, I've looked at the garmins, do they work with Apple phones? If I were going to buy one, I want the kind that will work independently, and not need the phone nearby. I want it to work alone. Does a...

    Reheated wild game.....yuck

    Use your double boiler ----- put a little water in the bottom, heat the meat to the temp. you want. Then, put it in a very hot cast iron skillet (turn it frequently or stir) or the oven to bring back the texture. I use this method for wild game as well as fried chicken, fried pork chops, bbq...

    Collectable for a new born?

    Based off your post, I did a quick search: coins, currency, stamps, trading cards, sports memorabilia, vintage and antique toys (in this don't forget older video games/consoles, comic books, vinyl records. That about sums it up. I mean, look at old episodes of American Pickers, used oil cans...

    600 yards hunting, 1,000 yards playing. $1,000. It depends on your hunting, are you hunting very early light and last light or woods hunting too where you need light gathering? To me, these are different scopes for 600 yards hunting and 1,000 playing. I want great optics and light...

    Sitka Alternatives

    I have never owned a piece of Sitka/Fulough/First Lite gear, it is probably all that, but I don't spend days out in the weather either. If I'm turkey hunting and it starts really raining, I'll head to the truck, wait until it quits, and hit them again. If it starts while deer hunting, I'll...

    Which tripod?

    I run a leofoto too ---- if you're shooting off it, or you are in windy conditions glassing, buy one with fewer leg extensions and larger diameter legs. LM363C, 36/32/28 diameter legs, 70 mm bowl.
