What's your Luxury Elk Hunting item?

[5MilesBack]

I'm a simple guy, my luxury elk hunting item is A&W root beer. But I don't think that helps in your case.

I've been pondering that....Looking at the Vortex Fury HD 5000. They have 15% off right now, so that'd put them at $850.

Only hangup is I just bought a set of Vortex Vipers last fall. LOL

Wait till Monday and it combines with cmmsave10 for an extra 10% off.

So after pondering....I think I'm going to upgrade my optics.

Vortex Razor 10x42 (w/ Pro Tripod Adapter) and upgrade to a Vortex Viper Rangefinder from my 5 year old Vortex Crossfire model.

Will be able to get the 15% vortex discount and I'll wait to order on Monday and stack another 10-15% for club member discount. Saving around $350-400 on the whole ordeal.

Still not top of the line. But after years of hunting with $150 glass, I think I'll feel like it will be worth the investment.

Get a good pellet grill to cook the elk steaks. And maybe the Fuji binos, too.

Looks like you've made a decision. I have a few Vortex items, but do not plan to purchase more. Knowing I'll likely be using their warranty sites not install confidence.

In your situation, I would be willing to consider tossing in a $300-$400 to what you have and the 10% discount and consider looking at the Swaro EL pretty hard as an upgrade.

Not sure I'd pull the trigger, but it would be an option for me.

I know you said a truck camp tent but if you've ever stayed in a nice wall tent W/ stove they are hard to beat.

If an elk hunter doesn’t have this that should be the number one priority. A rock solid place to regroup warm and dry.

A travel shampoo bottle with cooking oil and a ziplock sandwich sack with red pepper and Head Country seasoning for grouse. Depending on the hunt, every once in a while I may take a mini fishing pole and use the oil and seasoning on trout as well.

I agree with the rangefinding binos. They make a huge difference!

Kenetrek boots and a suppressor were my big upgrades this year. Worth every penny!
