Hossblur, you are correct. After 16 days left in the woods the camera is not legally yours anymore. Even if you catch the guy who stole it, you have no legal case. An officer who arrests someone for stealing an "abandoned" trail camera, would be putting himself at risk of false arrest. Thats...

Not to cause a riot, but I wonder about your 250 - 300 yard "good possibility" statement. I am sure there will be a few who claim to have killed many, many an animal with a muzzleloader at 400 yards. Back when I first got into muzzleloading, I wondered how far was too far. I did a little...

I use either a Swarovski ATX, Kowa prominar, vortex razor, or weaver spotting scope. I use either Meopta or Kowa binoculars. I use Manfrotto, Gitzo, or Really right stuff tripods. It just depends on what I am doing and where I am going. Too many tripod heads to list. Its all a tradeoff...

Swarovski has some cleaning information out there. You may have to look for it, but its out there somewhere. The one thing I found interesting was that they advise you not to use glass cleaner. Or any cleaner that contains alcohol or ammonia in the cleaning fluid. They can break down the...

Hossblur, is it about the camo patterns or the clothing? Paying $200 for a pair of pants just to get a camo pattern might be crazy. If you are currently hiking in levis in the middle of summer, it might not. My personal opinion on a lot of this stuff is pretty simple. If you spend most of...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-16-16 AT 10:30AM (MST)[p]Forrest service has decided to lock the gate yearly until July 15. If those dirt bikes keep going around the gate the forrest service will end up closing the area to ATV's and dirt bikes. They put those boulders there for a reason. Some people just...

Look in the photography world. They have TONS of options for this exact thing. Tripods use the same mounts and mounting systems for cameras and spotting scopes, and video cameras. You can get a simple plate like that for $15 most places. You mount it to your tripod head with the 3/8...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-16-16 AT 09:52AM (MST)[p]100% what Sherlock said. With a couple exceptions. Some game animals are habituated to tolerate humans. They don't give a hoot about our scent, lawnmower noise, cars, lot of stuff. You may come across these animals or animals that are used to living...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-16-16 AT 09:34AM (MST)[p]Stakes. Stakes. Stakes. There are lots of soil types, some stakes perform well in sandy soil, some in rocky soil, some in clay type soil. Snow load pulls on stakes differently than wind does. Having a variety of types of stakes in different lengths...

You have a couple pieces to a spotting scope. The body which performs a certain amount of magnification, and you have the eye piece which performs the rest of the magnification. If one body performs more magnification than another body, then it will use less eye piece magnification to get to...

LAST EDITED ON May-27-16 AT 02:27PM (MST)[p]Sucks doesn't it? Are you stuck on down, or are you just interested in a "puffy" jacket? If you limit yourself to down, it gets really hard. The worst part is that there is very little variety in warmth out there. Sitka has several jackets. Only one...

Hey, about the 60D vs 70D vs 80D question. The 60D is an old camera. Think along the lines of computers, cell phones, ect. The 60D came out when digic 4 processors were still current. There have been several processor upgrades since then. Digic 5, Digic 5+, Digic 6. The processor is what...

You can order it from amazon in several types. I don't use the aerosol version. I use the spray bottle type. I also have seen it in the camping dept at walmart, and the camping dept at sportsmans whse. I usually order it on amazon. As I said before, read the instructions. Do not spray it on...

What a difference 33 seconds can make! I pulled some trail cameras this week. I thought this one was kind of neat.

Two words for you son.............. SAWYER PERMETHRIN Doesn't repel ticks, it kills them. Its not insect spray and should not be used like one. Read the directions, apply properly. No more ticks. I used to get numerous ticks each year. Three years using this, not a single tick. Boots...
