    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Grin and bear it, and pop for the better glass man. If you have to, be patient and keep checking the Used Gear listings on here. ESPECIALLY for binos! It's even more important for Binos IMO. Because on the better binos, the Depth-of-Field of the image, how much of where you're pointing the...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    If a person wants good practice shooting for Hunting? HIGHLY RECOMMEND Go out shooting Ground Squirrels ("Poppin' Squeaks!") with a .17 HMR off some shooting sticks in field conditions. In the neighborhood of 75-100yds away. They are these nice fairly small targets. And while they're not...

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Speaking strictly glassing, regardless of species, I also have the Vortex 11-33x50. BUT.. for me.. what I came to find was that I didn't like that when I decided something needed a closer look, I always had to commit to memory a nearby larger object... because then I'd have to lower the tripod...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    SHORT ANSWER: Because they had an experience with that caliber, which was more than likely due to their shot placement not being great, and the experience "soured" them to that caliber. MY EXAMPLE: Like the very first coyote I ever shot... it was this close-quarters thing that was a jump-shot...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - best all around binocular?

    Now that they've got the SFL's man... go get a 10x42 ConquestHD, and you'll have 99% of your hunting optics needs covered. Like I believe already said, liked em soo much I bought the 15's too, for those places where I want 15's instead. Which is only is large Arid wide-open rolling Desert...

    Trials bike vs dirt bike/TW for hunting.

    Have you over tried to do a hillclimb on a 90? With you and a Deer on something of that small of size? Wouldn't be fun.

    New to coyote hunting

    And when he says their ears are amazing, he is NOT freaking lying! It is UNCANNY how their heads will just whip around to pointing dead-on where that sound (you) emanated from! Yeah.. crosswind... slightly downwind of the eCaller. And ALSO be prepared to NOT see them coming in, but instead...

    Quitting Alcohol

    I wonder if you've got some of the same issues I've got, related to deviated septum? For s&G... have you tried going to bed with a Breathe Right strip on? Can take a lil getting used to at first... but pretty soon they don't bug anymore. I've also worn them in the field before, especially...

    What do you want from your woman?

    You know.. you could.. promise to give him a "proper send-off" to each and every one of his upcoming hunting trips in the new upcoming year. I hazard to guess it'd be a gift he'd not only enjoy but reflect back upon it fondly for the rest of his life. Just a thought. Just do all the things all...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    We, and the law, don't care about what level of skill they have or do not have. That has no bearing here. That is on them for being negligent in that regard. The point I was making is, the law doesn't waiver on this... if you allow a round to be discharged, you're liable for any and all damage...
