Spotter and cordura case, Slik Sprint Mini II tripod, Vanguard panhead with two plates, and bino adapter are included. On the tripod I removed the bottom leg sections, cut the center column, and swapped the heavy aluminum panhead handle for carbon fiber.

Used, but good condition binos and harness - the binos have a slight ash stain on the armoring from hunting a burn and the harness has a little blood staining.
Im hoping to sell face to face in the Billings, MT area, but am also willing to ship.
Face to face - $700 obo
Shipped - $750 obo (I...
Hunting the rut gets all the attention, but tracking a bull and putting him down in his bed or taking one unaware at close range while still hunting is the ultimate rush in my opinion. Pure, simple, no-nonsense hunting ...
I appreciate and understand your perspective on risk, but I do not embrace it personally. With a wife and two young girls relying on me, I cannot willingly put myself in those life or limb/death situations. I did my fair share of that when I was younger and never thought twice about it, but my...
I always just assumed you had to sacrifice an acceptable volume of blood, sweat, frustration, and misery to the unlimited sheep gods...
A lot of you guys have got to be close to being paid up!
Anyone use the TriMOA reticle from Leupold? Similar idea to BDC but has hashmarks at each minute... seems like a more robust system for someone who wants to shoot more precise at longer range w/out having to twist turrets.
Does that weight include food and winter-specific gear like 4-season tent, snowshoes, crampons, and ice axe? If so, I think that weight is probably reasonable.
I'd plan on using a stove to melt snow (white gas works best; Jetboil works well too if you warm the fuel up inside your jacket)...
Hey guys,
I've only received info from three guys between the two units so I think this idea is a bust. Best of luck to everyone chasing rams in the unlimiteds this year!
Good for you geetar! Hopefully your HT buddy has a tag this year...
I spent Friday checking an approach and potential glassing point. A high angle snow slope stopped me about 1000 ft below the ridge I wanted to gain. 22ish miles and 5500-6000 ft of gain/loss was definitely a shock to the system!
I've only got info for one other guy so far. Obviously that's way too few for this network to have any sort of effectiveness. PM me your name, email, and HD (500 or 501) if you'd like to be included. I'll probably just dissolve this idea if I don't have at least 4-5 guys per unit by mid August...
I was on a refinery stack just yesterday with an awesome view of the Beartooths. It was a great day at work. I could repeat that for the next month and still not remember it a year from now. I would never forget a month of elk hunting...
I've got the older kifaru timberline where the bag and suspension are one unit. I love the suspension...you can lock a triple digit load on your hips and it will stay put. The bag itself is mediocre. The side spotting scope sleeves are basically useless when the main compartment is full and the...
I worked at one of the summer camps on the Boulder when I was in college and we'd pile in the beds of pickups and drive down to hike Monument...we never had anyone go overboard but came close a time or two😀
The road south of McLeod along the Boulder River gets pretty bad as you approach Monument Peak. That would be HD 500. Access to most everything else in 500 and 501 is good if you're coming from the north. I'm not really familiar with road conditions out of Cooke City.
Hey Geetar,
I've got several articles and book chapters written by guys that have hunted 500 and 501 successfully that I can email you if interested. Also, listen to the second hour of a podcast titled "The Impossible Hunt" for more unlimited goodness...
None of it is secret or revolutionary...
