    Marsupial no mag and Nl Pures w/fhr

    Thanks. I’ve been content with my marsupial using other binos but it just doesn’t work as well with the NLs. Guess I’ll jump on the carousel too. Cheers.

    Marsupial no mag and Nl Pures w/fhr

    Mine has just started squeaking with my new NLs. What did you switch to? Like it any better? I feel like Aron Snyder really likes NLs. Wonder about kifarus harness…

    Budget 15x Binos or a Budget Spotting Scope?

    Do you find either of thiose sets to be annoyingly heavy or cumbersome in a chest pack? That’d be my biggest concern, but I’ve only done 10x42s so I’m just guessing.

    Camping distance from Elk

    This is kind of how I would do it. This year I picked a dry ridge about 700yds away and above a ridge really nice looking potential rutting zone. Some jackass was camping in the middle of it. First night at my camp heard nothing. Fortunately he left first thing next morning. That night at...

    Budget 15x Binos or a Budget Spotting Scope?

    My modest experience thus far is that low end spotters aren’t worth it. Somebody already said it so I’m seconding it. I personally would buy the best set of 12x-18x binos I could afford and put a magview on them. Then add my phone with optical zoom and get better clarity than the cheap spotter...

    Lead in Meat Discussion

    This. We archers next door are arguing about mechanicals, fixed blades, and heavy arrows. Everything is a trade. Nothing is perfect. Have good judgement and practice with your weapon so you can hit the spot. If you practice enough and understand your limitations you can use any of it and...

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    I had regular low back pain when I was younger. Started sport climbing pretty seriously in my 20s and that helped a lot due to building a lot of core strength (which I had apparently critically lacked). Now, many years later, that’s not enough. Climbing still helps a lot as it’s great for...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I’ve used a 4x4 sprinter, an AWD GMC Savana, an old single cab manual Tacoma, a K1500 single cab, and now a crew cab F250 Powerstroke. For how I hunt these days (backcountry Colorado on foot, KS whitetail, etc) the powerstroke is the best (still have the taco also though). It goes as far as I...

    Wedding ring tattoo

    Similar for us. We have both been climbers for many years and I got tired of taking it off all the time and keeping track of it (one should never climb with rings on). My wife wears her rings but mine lives in a pistol safe. My finger joints are all blown up from climbing so my ring doesn’t...

    Hamskea Rest Comparison

    No doubt. I forgot to mention using some felt and maybe one of those stick-on rubber arrow holders, but yeah… I prefer to maximize simple, bombproof, and accurate without giving up energy ( a la whisker biscuit) which to me is Hamskea. Also I find the QAD launcher noisy and cumbersome to flick...

    Hamskea Rest Comparison

    I started with vapor trail (older son still has it on his V3), then hamskea (still have on my V3X, and most recently acquired a QAD (on an RX7 Ultra). I can see why people like the QAD’s flip-up launcher containment system and its low weight (although I’m not an ounce counter on my bow)...

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    Seriously this is the best elk story I’ve heard this year. I had a solo elk hunt this year proved to be a once in a lifetime hunt, but nothing can beat sharing such an experience with the people who mean the most. My sons are starting to hunt. My dad never did. I hope to be making these...
