Figured I'd do my due diligence and give a report back on the hunt in case it can help someone else down the road. First want to thank mlchaser for his help and intel. I ended up shooting a 4x5 the second to last day of the hunt. The rutting activity was almost nonexistent until Wednesday...

Sent you a DM.

Yes, I ended up shooting a small 4x5 on the on the second to last day of the hunt.

What do you feel like Leica does better than Swarovski?

Curious to see what's most popular on here.

Like new Vortex Razor UHD binoculars. These things are awesome! They do extremely good in low light conditions and have been great to use this last year. Only reason I am selling is I’m getting a pair of Swarovski’s and don’t need both. These are very well taken care of (always in a harness) and...

Haha, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time ?

Good thought. Although Swarovski has their EL glass line with the rangefinder.

Which Swaros do you have and which rangefinder are you using today instead?

Interesting! I’m not familiar with Meopta’s. Which model do you have? Also which Swaros and regular range finder do you have?

What binocular do you have?

Trying to decide whether or not I want to get binoculars with a rangefinder built-in… curious as to what people prefer and why.

Nope. To be honest, we haven't even been out that way to scout yet.

That would be great--thank you!

Wow what a bummer! Hoping that was an odd year, but definitely mentally preparing myself for the hunt to be tough.

Thanks DanMan! I'm already praying for some winter weather :) Sounds like the common theme is running into lots of elk hunters. Best of luck to you this season!

Appreciate the feedback! I'm planning to take a trip to learn the roads and access points. I'll also be taking the whole week since theoretically each day that goes by things should only get better. Also best of luck to you next door!! Once you get your monster, spook the rest of them on over ;)

I drew a 551 3rd season tag (I had 10 points) and it will unfortunately be the last time I save up points in Colorado due to how expensive everything is, so I'm hoping to make the most of it. I wanted a rut hunt and I'm overall really excited to see what shows up. I reserved a hotel room to stay...

I knew someone would say something short sighted on here :ROFLMAO:

Thank you! Should be a fun time.

My father in law (60 yrs old) drew his once in a lifetime moose tag and I’m trying to help him have a good experience this fall. He’s not much of a hiker and he’s not going to be picky. We’d really appreciate any advice or information any of you have for us while we do our own due...

I'll try a third time.... In your opinion, what actions should they take to ensure that, that happens?

No need to get defensive. I’m just asking a couple questions to try to understand your point of view—which I don’t disagree with by the way. It seems like you’d agree that if the Fish & Game did things to help increase the population of animals, they’d be fulfilling at least part of their...

“As the “public” and tax payers, we need to hold Fish and Game’s feet to the fire to fulfill their responsibilities to us and game animals.” What are those responsibilities to us and game animals?

What are the reasons you use trail cameras? (Assuming you use them).

Here are a couple of pictures over the years… A good pack, boots and trekking poles make a big difference…

If you haven't decided yet, I'd definitely look at Seek Outside. By far the best pack I've ever worn--especially under heavy loads. Just finished my 4th season with mine and haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. My opinion is that you probably can't go wrong with any of the higher end packs...

Sheesh, some outdoor channel needs to hire you as their videographer! Awesome footage, thank you for sharing.

He's a handsome buck, congratulations! I love that you used your dad's old gun and have memories there with your dad and brothers...that's what it's all about.

I have heard both yes and no as an answer to this question. Does anyone have credible sources for the answer?

I'll send you a PM. That's awesome you are that close to SO. I have a pack from them and we just bought an 8 man tipi earlier this year and have loved it so far.

What about a bivy's and no tarp? Any suggestions there?

Thank you for all the replies. Seek Outside has some awesome stuff. I'll have to try Tyvek.

Bashing Vortex is comical. The reality is most people don't have issues opening day, most accidents that cause damage would probably cause the same amount of damage regardless of brand. The mountains are no respector of brands. Are they as nice as Swaro? No. But when you talk about value and...

What do you use under your sleeping pad?

Do any of you use a bivy tarp setup while hunting? Which ones are out there that are lightweight or worth looking at?
