Hi Folks,
Going on a bowhunt over the winter where at least part of it will be on horseback. Looking for any with experience here in how they carried/transported the bow while mounted.
Thanks in advance for any experience-based suggestions.
There was a detailed test posted somewhere that showed a number of major brands shot, dropped, tracking and return to zero. Would someone please repost that. Thanks
After posting pics of the sheep mount I just got back from my 2019 Kamchatka Snow Sheep Hunt, several asked me to post a story and pics. I posted this thread a few years ago on another hunting site, so apologize to any who’ve read it before. Reposting here on Rokslide...
Just up on the wall today from my August 2019 hunt. Worth the wait as I think it turned out exceptionally well. Very happy as it is a worthy tribute to one of the greatest hunting adventures of my life. A lot of fond memories of the hunt and folks I shared it with. Feel very fortunate to...
On a hunt in the Mountains of Turkey and the waist belt failed.
Design is fairly unique and lightweight (its biggest plus); without adding post-purchase accessories it is really a mid-sized bucket with a large external pocket. The main external pocket is very useful, and overall the pack has a...
I used a number of taxidermists over the years and identified a very good one or two that I’ve used on sheep and other trophies, but the wait times are becoming absurd - 2 years +.
So, I’m venturing out to identify a few that provide high quality work with shorter turn around times. The...
Looking for some direct-experience feedback. I’ve had several high-end brands of Mountain Hunting Boots for Sheep and Goat Hunts. Although some fit me well and offered great support there definitely were times when side-hilling over slick rocks or vegetation where I didn’t feel the hard-rubber...
Up for sale is a latest generation Zeiss Victory RF 10x42 in Mint/Excellent Condition. There may be a bit of dust somewhere but no flaws that I can see. They Abbe-Koenig Prism View is extremely crisp, the rangefinder works exactly as designed, and I find the Zeiss app precise and easy to use...
I’ll be there Friday and Saturday. Go to this show more often than not as it is huge and showcases hunting from all over the world. Also enjoy catching up with old friends and campmates.
Up for sale are a used set of the much lauded 8x32 Zeiss Victory FLs. Come with the original box and case. My stable of binoculars has become far too big and I’m looking to thin the heard. So, someone will end up with this iconic binocular. Price is $1,350 PayPal +3% ($1,391) TYD - CONUS...
For sale - 8x42 Swarovski SLCs (Model 58305)
Right now my stable of binoculars has grown too big and I have a set of 8x42 SLCs (Model 58305) that I just might be willing to sell (better act before I think about it too long). They were bought new in 2021 but are 2013 manufacture. They are barely...
Just thought I’d share a good news customer service story. Recently sent a Zeiss Victory Binocular for repair (that I damaged while on a hunt). The entire repair experience from beginning to end was smooth as glass. Got an initial inspection report on what needed to be repaired and full...
Up for sale is a used Leica Trinovid 8x32 BA Binocular. Optically perfect but they were used as a hunting glass and there are some normal signs of wear as pictured. Don’t have the box or case - just binocular and eyepiece cover. They are a great Alpha Manufacturer Glass, Made in Germany, that...
Have an interesting dilemma. My taxidermist just got my Snow Sheep hide and horns back from the tannery. But they made a mistake and tanned the entire cape instead of tanning it for a pedestal. Now we have a full cape with very good hair and I have to choose either a wall pedestal or a full...

Hi Folks,
Aoudad are one of my absolute favorite species to hunt. Been reading all the stories of Texas Exotics = Nilgai, Blackbuck, Axis, Ibex, etc all having high-volume die offs due to the sustained sub-freezing and heavy icing conditions in Texas. But I haven’t heard anything about...
I was looking for a detailed review of this particular binocular but was unable to find any. There were several reviews of some of their Ares and Midas but not the new Cronus G2 UHDs that just came out within the past year.
