    Nothern California (Trinity Alps) optics: should I upgrade my Leica Trinovid 10x42 to a higher magnification binos, if used with a spotting scope?

    This is the way. I've got a nice, lightweight spotter that I take with me, but it almost always ends up staying in the truck in favor of the fancy 10x binos on a tripod. Less eye strain, less gear to carry with you, less weight, and you can tell from the binos if it's worth pursuing or not...

    Sold Custom 7mm Rem Mag - Defiance Tenacity Action

    Asking price of $SOLD Selling a custom 7mm Rem Mag rifle that was built by Spartan Precision when they were in San Jose, CA. I have about 50 rounds through this rifle. It was mostly used for pig and deer hunting. Selling because it has become a safe queen now that I'm mostly bow hunting and I...

    Modified gutless

    I’ve done quite a few animals with the gutless method, and a trick I use to get the tenderloins out is that at the very end when you are getting them out, roll the carcass so it’s spine up, stomach down (how it would look standing up), and then make your incisions. This lets gravity work the...

    Which optic for glassing

    FWIW, I just spent a week out in NorCal hunting them at about that distance most days. My buddy had a 12x Swaro El Range and a 15x Swaro SLC. I was running a 15-45 Kowa spotter but quickly realized that it wasn’t needed, so my buddy and I just swapped around his binos. We used tripods and...

    2023 Hoyt Bows on Sale

    Don’t shoot the RX7 Ultra or you will buy one...not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. It’s an amazing bow. However, it seems like it’s worth waiting. The 2024 bows will likely get announced in the next month or two, and with the new bows getting released, those sale prices should...

    Knife of choice

    Gerber Vital-Zip, along with a Morakniv Eldris. I also bring a little pass-through sharpener. Has worked great for years.

    New to scopes, how to approach weight and magnification needs?

    Hey man, depending on the caliber, I don’t think there’s much need for anything other than a basic 3-9x, 40mm SFP scope for anything under 300 yards. I’ve done a ton of Blacktail/hog hunting out here and at those distances, I just understand my drop and guesstimate. My sub 300-yard rig is all...

    Bow Case cut out - Pelican V800

    Less impressive than what a lot of other members are doing, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone was looking to make a bow case that fits a bunch of gear. The Vaults are pretty reasonably priced and seem to be good quality. After a few hunts where I was packing in a rush before...

    DIY hog hunt

    I'd take CA off your list. I helped a friend get started with hog hunting public land out here (he was already a strong hunter before this) and it took several months of work to get to a point where he could consistently say he saw pigs. Different story with outfitters or private land, but it's...
