It's gonna be tough to pick up two tags for the same unit (unless you are buying in person). You are better off applying for a controlled hunt. There are some cow hunts that have really good odds for NR.
I'm in 208 and looking for waterfowl/bird hunting partners. Have gear and a dog. I don't post much on HT but am active on another site. I'll get some posts here and PM you. Not sure if you can PM me. Thanks.
With 10x42s on a tripod, I have spotted deer from over 2 miles away. It was to count point but I could tell buck from doe. If you are just looking to find elk, I'm guessing you are good to at least 3-4 miles.
I'm heading to WY for a cow hunt in Oct. The spotter will be staying in the truck.
It looks like these fall somewhere between the VX1 and VX2 (based on pricing and specs). I didn't see if they are compatible with CDS or other external turret system, however.
Just wanted to say howdy. I’m from the SF Bay Area. Mid 30s, 2 little kids. I used to hunt a lot of birds in Nor Calif but have lately been doing more big game out of state in Wyoming and Idaho. I’ll probably try to cash in my points in Calif next year.
I’m always looking to share ideas...
I have the Alps Traverse X in Realtree for sale. Bought it this fall and used it on two hunts plus some training. There is a small blood stain (not very noticeable) on the back pad.
Packed worked very well for everything I was doing. Never put an animal in the meat shelf, just a 50lb sandbag...
