Struggling in Idaho…
Glassed up a herd this evening (found a pretty good glassing knob) they were 2 miles away and just no way to make it. Going in the morning bright and early. Think I can get to a vantage 700ish yards from where I left them this evening and hopefully pick back up and make a plan. -
Struggling in Idaho…
Saw bulls with cows the day before season so agree they hadn’t peeled off to the hell holes prior to this week. -
Struggling in Idaho…
I am in McCall with the family and trying to make the best of evening hunts (elk B tag) while working from home during the day. I had several locations picked out prior to coming and apparently picked out some good morning spots to be because the first was loaded with hunters and the second had... -
Need advice on a tripod and head
This is intriguing to me. Works well seated and standing? I think this and an added arca rail on my gun makes a ton of sense. -
Need advice on a tripod and head
Dang tripods are expensive…I have been glassing off of a $20 Amazon basics camera tripod for the past 3-4 years. Terrible to try to move smoothly and just generally garbage. No way could you shoot off of it. I have the Spartan connections on my guns that I use with a Spartan bipod which I love... -

Browning X Bolt Trigger Spring Kits
I have had one sitting here for over a year. Did you find it pretty simple to change them out? My x-bolt hells canyon speed is an absolute tack driver, accurate to at least 800 yards (the furthest I have shot it) a slightly more responsive trigger would make it even better. -
Thinking of switching from fixed blade to mechanical broadheads
Yeah, that was the original post, was considering moving from Kudu fixed single bevel broadheads to mechanicals to get a better blood trail. I posted a follow-up, didn't switch but added some mechanicals to my quiver. -

Magnetic Bino Harness Interference
Yea they can cause interference. Resulted in a very long day for me one time. As long as you know it’s a possibility you could hold your phone further away I’m sure. I switched to the Kuiu from a badlands and glad I did. No magnets. Super quiet. -

Hit/lost bull
good call watching for magpies, I had that happen on a red stag this spring in Argentina. Spent an evening and another full day tracking/grid searching after my guide insisted that we push this animal after an archery shot into the shoulder blade. I knew there was a Kudu single bevel in there... -
Tracking injured muley
Also will say that guts at impact site doesn’t mean just gut shot depending on angle. I shot a deer quartering slightly to me and the arrow was straight guts but the deer died in 40 yards. -
Tracking injured muley
Amen, when in doubt BACK OUT!!! You did the right thing, he is dead, you'll find him since you didn't really push him. -

Works well for situations like hunting where you are walking and can point at a satellite. Not for driving applications.- jpcoll01

Eldx vs evostrike
I love ELD-X they flat kill stuff. That being said, I have started putting 2 ELD-X in the bottom of my mag and the top one is a Hornady Outfitter. They zero the same at 200 and if I’m going to shoot beyond that I will rack in an ELD-X so my ballistics work out.- jpcoll01
