Looking to pick up a set of these for my hunt in a few weeks, anyone know where they are in stock? Seems like everywhere I have searched they are out of stock.
I agree that the trigger sticks adjust-ability is top notch, I would just make sure you can accurately shoot off the tripod. I have tried the Gen 3 sticks and was not overly impressed with their rigidness for shooting & glassing, especially with the weight of a spotter or rifle. Additionally I...
With this past season being one of the worst waterfowl seasons in the books for the Atlantic Flyway, I would seriously consider looking at a seaduck hunt or go west. The weather did not cooperate this season and the waterfowl numbers definitely showed that. With a one goose limit and reduced...
My group and I went back n forth on whether to camp or get two hotel rooms for this falls antelope hunt. I found what I think is the best option, Air BnB. My group is renting a 4 bedroom home off the website for $160 a night for a week ($280 per man). The house in smack in the middle of our...

If the rifle has that much sentimental value, I would take it to a gunsmith to be accurized. While having the rifle as a safequeen is great, I would counter argue that having rifle along with you in the outdoors while providing many more memories of your buddy (him and his family hunting along...
I went back and forth on the exact same decision and finally went with the Explorer+. If the phone decides to die, I have it as a back up for navigation and vice versus. The weight penalty isnt enough for me to justify the mini....yet.
My group flew home from an Aoudad hunt with three ram skullcaps and capes in two duffle bags surrounded by sleeping bags, clothes, etc.
As for the meat, I would just debone, put into a relatively lightweight cooler, and freeze. If you can fit a layer of dry ice, thats great but no always...
For waterfowling I would recommend finding a local that will let you tag along for the price of breakfast & gas or helping brush blinds in the off season. Instead of making a bunch of purchases of generic gear, figure out what your area specifically needs and then go from there.
