    10x42 vs 10x50

    Hey guys, Wondering why so many people recommend the 10x42 binos as opposed to 10x50? Is it just the weight? The extra FOV seems to me like it would be an asset if you were going to do any serious glassing? I am specifically looking at the Vortex Crossfire. I know they are cheap and I know...

    Under Armour Alpine Opps Puffy Pant

    Has anyone seen/ used these pants? They look like they would be perfect for glassing. They are currently on UA for $149.99 which appears to be a pretty good deal if the quality is there.

    Where to find Sitka, FirstLite, etc.

    Hey guys, As a guy from Iowa I don’t get to see much of the western hunting lineups at the local sporting goods stores. I am however out in Colorado for the remainder of the week and was wondering if a Cabela’s or other sporting goods store would carry Sitka, FirstLite, Kuiu, etc. gear that I...

    Preference Points

    Can someone help me understand preference points a little more. I am planning my first out of state hunt this year. It should be a hunt that I can draw with zero preference points, but in looking to the future I know that I want to start building as many points as possible. For now, the two...

    Building Points

    Hey Guys, As I prepare for my first western hunt this next year I have already been doing a lot of thinking about "what next". I haven't even had a day of hunting out west yet and I am already hooked. With that I know that I need to start building points for the future. My question to you is...

    Colorado Elk Rifle

    As I plan for my 2019 Colorado elk hunt one of the next items on my agenda is the purchase of a new rifle. I am an Iowa flatlander and do 95% of my hunting with bow and arrow. I do fairly regularly shoot shotguns, rifles, and muzzleloaders, but do not have a gun that I think would be properly...

    Backcountry Heat

    A buddy and I went on a three day two night deer hunting trip in southern Iowa this past weekend to test out some of our gear for a Colorado elk hunt next year (before you say it, I know great comparison eh). We were obviously more focused on the camp side of things. The temperature ranged...

    Muzzy Trocar

    Has anyone had any trouble with the Muzzy Trocar fixed blade broadheads? I purchased some this year for the Iowa whitetail season and have had all kinds of trouble. Looking back now, I think I was shooting junk arrows and that was most of the problem. I bought these pretty sharp looking all...

    Nikon Coolpix p900

    Hey guys, I wanted to pick your brain on a camera for shooting hunting videos and shooting some pics while in the field. I reached out to Joel from Camera Land. I think he is a regular contributor on here, but also wanted to pick you guys's brains and see if you had any experience with this...

    Cabela's Multi Day Hunting Pack

    Has anyone spent much time around the Cabela's Multi Day Hunting Pack? I really like what I see but it seems to be significantly less expensive that all of the other multi day packs. I am assuming this is because of quality but it seemed pretty durable the one time I handled it. Being from...
