    WTB Binoculars- $200 budget 8x40, 42 or 10x40,42

    Realized for archery hunting that I probably shouldn't have binoculars around my neck, so I opted for a more compact pair. I ended up with the Vortex Diamondback compact 8x28. They fit in a pocket on my hip belt. Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions.

    WTB Binoculars- $200 budget 8x40, 42 or 10x40,42

    Fellow Sliders, Anyone have a pair of binos they would like to part with? Looking for something mainly for whitetails in Virginia. Hoping to do a trip out west at some point but I want to buy for what I will be primarily hunting. I have looked at several Leupold Yosemite, Rebel Redfield, Zen...

    Plastic Sled for backcountry use

    Sorry for the mixup, I just figured since I cant use a deer cart (no wheeled vehicle) that this may be an issue as well. Doesnt sound like it will be though, great idea!

    What's your stalking strategy?

    Thank you for the reply. I now realize I have not scouted the area I hunt well enough to be able to still hunt effectivly. Would you mind describing what you are looking for in order to determine a spot is still hunt worthy? In order to keep the thread on topic (stalking) would you mind if I...

    What's your stalking strategy?

    Bar, I am a new hunter that is interested in learning. I have a question about still hunting if you wouldnt mind. When do you begin to still hunt? Right when you leave the parking lot/ trail head? Do you walk in a mile or so from the road then begin to still hunt? Wait until you see sign...

    Let's talk backs and back pain.

The docs go in and pull out the ruptured disc material then allow scar tissue to replace it which acts in a similar fashion to the original material (shock absorber).I had thrown my back out several times but the kicker seemed...

    Training with Loaded Backpack- keep it loaded?

    My main concern would be premature wear on the pack. Compression straps stitching loosening that type of thing.

    Training with Loaded Backpack- keep it loaded?

    This is a bit OCD but I cant help myself. I recently began training with a loaded pack (about 40 lbs). I bought one of the Tenzing 6000's during the Midway sale for $199. It is roughly eleventy billion times better than my old 39$ pack from CampMor. There is a trail about 3 minutes from work so...

    Base layer options...

    If you dont need Camo check out your local TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Goodwill. I was able to find a heavy merino wool sweater for about 15$ (TJ Maxx- some Irish Brand) a medium weight shirt ( Joseph H Banks) and a lightweight shirt (Banana Republic) at Goodwill for 5$ a peice. Sure I could wear...
