Cant speak for the entire state, but southern utah has been on a pretty steep decline as far as overall deer numbers since 2017-18. This drought is hammering the deer herd down here.
I'm more impressed with each one. I dont know if most people realize how special a mule is that can run a reining pattern, and make it look as easy as a horse. But it impressed the heck outta me!
When I was required to use a 1x scope I ended up with a sightron 1x20. It was one of the only 1x scopes I could find that didn't make things look farther away than they were. It was also lightweight, and seemed to have decent eye relief. I don't know if sightron even makes a 1x scope now, but...
Dang I've got to quit watching these, makes me covet and coveting is a sin.

I have 2 6x36 leupold's, for the way I hunt I prefer them to my fixed power scopes.
That being said, if you frequently take shots at game partially obscured by brush at 600 yds, I would not recommend a 6x scope.
I probably wouldn't ever shoot past 400 and even then only when an animal is...
Thanks for the write up!
I'm going to give the teflon tape method a try, I attempted it a few years ago without any guidance and had it all wrong. I wasn't wrapping it far enough forward to get a good seal.
I really dislike cleaning the grease and crud out of the threaded area of the...
