The min distance for range finding in the Sawro's is actually 33 yards. Max is stated at 1500 but easy to get targets at around 2000. I saw the Outdoorsman post "something big coming Oct 1 from Swarovski" best customer service in the business and should weigh heavy on the decision. Clarity and...

I've worked with the company doing their TV show the last couple years. I'm fairly sure it definitely only been out year and a half, maybe 2. What model is it? Its a general term for models with the new field flattener lens. Only the new style EL has it I believe.

The boat is a good way of going but just like any other hunt just be prepared to go at it in a few different ways. We used a boat a few times the last couple years and was a good option. Give me a pm when you get a chance. I know the landowners up there fairly well and I know the one who wants...

RE: inthehunt It really varied. One day we would see a hundred ewes and a few rams. The next day we would see 35-50 rams no problem. Wind and rain put them down deep into the coulee's and the sun would bring them out right on the flats where you could glass sheep at 3 miles or so. The...

WOW! Is all I can say! Luck shines down on you brother! I have been on three hunts in 680 the last two years so any help I can lend just let me know. Its a really special area with lots of history around it so soak it all in.

mt rams A few MT rams lounging this winter

Don't kid yourself, there are still a lot of great hunts out there for that kind of money. Just, for a moment, put down your copies of all the hunting magazines that profile nothing but these expensive hunts. Turn off the TV. For $5000 there is adventure everywhere to be had. right now you can...

This is a study just out by a very reputable biologist/professor here in MT. He has worked predator studies all over the world. Finally some very definitive evidence that not only do wolves prey on elk but actually cause much larger declines in populations due to the change in elk behavior...

WOW! the price seems out of the norm by enough I would wonder. Their site looks good and their areas are good. From my days over there, the free state is a windy, cold desolate area, avoid! Here is what I caution to anybody going to SA. The really reputable outfitters there call them bed and...

I have hunted in SA for around 9 total weeks so let me know what area they are proposing you hunt in and I might be able to shed a little light on things. It sounds like the eastern cape. If so I have a bunch of really good friends in that area and I can find out a little more about them.

I have been on 6 costal bear hunts with Scott Mcleod of Raven Guide service. He is a great friend and a master bear hunter to say the least. He is third generation from Sitka and has a great boat and setup! BIG bears! I harvested a blacky squared 7ft 6in and have filmed 4 friends and different...

I'm sure many have different ideas but it has been one of the most usable and vaulable peices of gear I have. I have it in my 300 Weatherby and it works flawlessly! I was skeptical at first but sold a swarovski to buy one after testing it. Buy the VX7 in the 50 mm if you arent concerned about...

I just returned from the big island doing a sheep and goat hunt this past weekend. It was a blast and much more of a real hunt than I was expecting!! The sheep were a little higher but a tad easier to hunt. The goats are down around 500-1000 ft in the lava fields amongst the trees. In both cases...

I just returned from a hunting/fishing trip on Kona this weekend. We were filming for a show and it went very well and I can without a doubt recommend captain McGrew Rice of the Ihu Nui. They are great, work hard and oh by the way won the world marlin title in 2008. You should catch fish and...

I won the Ogden Moose permit at FNAWS last winter and was wondering if anybody had the scoop on the moose this year? I had been told numerous times to hunt late when the leaves are off so that is the plan. Any advice would be appreciated and paid back with any advice up here in MT! Sounds...
