    What backpack hunts are you planning for 2014?

    Draw is supposed to happen in early June. I'm thinking the draw results will be out in about 2 maybe 3 weeks. I'm already thinking ahead to next year and it will probably be Idaho or CO for me. I am really hoping to draw a buck tag in a WY area that is open in September. Last year's mid October...

    Spot and stalk spotting scope

    Thank you all so much for the help and input! Y'all know how to make a new fella feel welcome! I think A binocs only setup will likely be my best bet with ease of use and functionality. The 2x doubler from vortex is probably going to be what winds up convincing me to go that route. A...

    Spot and stalk spotting scope

    I have not over looked a binocs only solution. The Kaibabs are out of my price range but the 15x50 vipers might be an option. Also I just discovered the 2x press on doubler from vortex and I'm thinking that option is getting very very realistic. The inevitable major drawback is money; Buy...

    Thanks for the input! The best price I have found on the Vortex is $599. While leupold can be had for $359 with free shipping and a free stedi stock. So, I am leaning toward the leupold at the moment because I'm not sure that the vortex is really $200+ better. Although I have yet to...

    What backpack hunts are you planning for 2014?

    7-8 day mule deer hunt in NW Wyoming. Last year was my first attempt at a semi backpack/bascamp hunt that proved unsuccessful in the meat department but abundantly successful in the educational/lessons learned department. Undeterred I'm trying again. I should find out the specific region/area...

    Spot and stalk spotting scope

    New kid in town here shopping for a packable functional durable CLEAR spotting scope. At the moment I am torn between the Vortex Razor HD 11-33x50 and the Leupold GR 15-30x50 compact. Of course, I am also open to any suggestions from someone more experienced. I have come down to these two...

    Just joined in my quest for knowledge and information. I'm excited to have stumbled across the site in searches on several topics so I figured joining was my best bet. I hunt whitetail deer, turkey, rabbits, quail, squirrel and the occasional hog here in the South and I have Wyoming mule deer...
