    Building an optics set up for western hunting

    With 18x UHD binos, I would look to upgrade your chest glass first since that is the optic that you will use the vast majority of the time. Optics set ups are very personal decisions. If money is no object then I would pose two threshold questions to guide you. First, do you enjoy looking...

    BUY ONCE CRY ONCE. ~a thread~

    I agree with a lot of what has been said. I will say one thing about the ATX/STX 65mm if you intend to backpack. They are heavy for a 65mm. It is almost the same exact weight as the ATS 80 HD and the 80 will bring in more light. The primary attractiveness for me is the ability to add a BTX...

    In your opinion. Cheaper Binos and Spotter or better Binos

    I always advise buying the best binos you can afford first. You won't regret the purchase.

    Christensen Actions Suck - Or Just Mine Does?

    I have a mesa and I have no problems with the action. It cycles just like a standard 2 lug Rem 700 Action to me. In regards to how smooth it closes, this is something I have never even taken note of. I was always taught to cycle a bolt rather forcefully.

    BLM on two corners with Private on the other two, ok to cross corner?

    Because if that trespass is cognizable under state law, allowing public access could give rise to fifth amendment taking and landowners would be entitled to just compensation. The value of that interest in real property may not be worth all that much but it is still a taking none-the-less...

    BLM on two corners with Private on the other two, ok to cross corner?

    Generalizations cannot be made on this point because it is a matter of state law and they will vary. As a general matter a land owner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as they can occupy or use in connection with the land. True corner hopping will place your body in the...

    New cartridge selection

    For 500 yard deer and elk, the 30/06 is a good choice.

    If you could only have one pack

    If you are looking for a one pack solution my only advice is that you can make a big pack small, but you can't make a small pack big. I've run a Kifaru Argali for years now and I love it. For eastern guys, the Kifaru Stryker XL seems about perfect.

    Another first lite shout out.

    I've always had good luck with First Lite products and their customer service. They replaced a klamath for me after the zipper failed well over a year after purchased. I will continue to buy from them in the future.

    College vs skilled trades.

    There is no right or wrong answer. It all depends on what will make you happy, and what presents lucrative opportunities in the area you want to live. Be realistic, talk with people in careers that you are thinking about and find out what opportunities are out there, what the work/life balance...

    Swarovski BTX vs Kowa 883 + 15s or 18s?

    I haven't spent any time looking through the BTX , although I hope to purchase one soon, but I am always puzzled as to why the 95mm is thought to have substantially better low light performance than the 65mm. So much so that people dismiss the 65mm BTX altogether as not being worth it. Because...

    80mm or 60mm spotters.

    You never said what your current optics set up is and what terrain you typically hunt. I suggest putting your money into the optic that you will use the most, which is your chest glass. If you are happy with your chest glass then a spotter or bigger binos are a next logical step. Spotters are...

    Bow string

    Wife worried

    I second the inReach. My wife can tell exactly where I am and communicate with me when she needs to. It gives us both peace of mind. I can't imagine hunting without one now. Another thing that goes a long way is having good woodsmanship, navigation, and first aid skills. She knows I am not...

    Are most OTC units like this?

    Either learn some OTC units well and get a feel for where the majority of the hunting pressure comes from or avoid them altogether.

    Spotting

    I'd recommend either the Vortex UHD 18x56 or the Maven B5 18x56. I have never liked looking through spotters myself and 18x binos have served me well. Using binocular vision makes up for lack of magnification compared to a spotter.

    Favorite deer catridge/rifle.

    My favorite deer cartridge is the one I can get components for! All kidding aside, I am currently enjoying my Christensen Arms Mesa in 6.5 PRC.
