So, do I understand this correctly?
OnX Hunt costs $30 per year, and the Elite membership $100/y?
Is there a free version, or not? 🤔
Thanks for those links, those are some very powerful map options! 👍🏼

❓ Painting a Pop-Up Hunting Hide ➔ How?
I bought a pop-up hunting hide (Summit Cobra Realtree*) (or is it called a blind instead of a hide??).
I live in the desert — so "realtree" and any of the other vegetation-colors are out.... 😟
➔ I need sand color — desert beige!! 😄
[Yes, when I bought...
BigFin,
I'm brand new on this forum, but I read your thread about you keeping this forum going — even if it costing you instead of making money.
And even if there are a lot of less-than-helpful posts lately.
I personally appreciate people like that very much — with a vision for the future, a...
World Topo Map (Android, probably on iPhone as well) — it gives you the elevation lines, and allows you to switch between
▪map view, with an overlay of the street map of GoogleMaps, and
▪satellite view.
The free version has ads.

Instread of a case I use a thick neoprene sleeve attached to my belt, and with a zipper.
So far, the phone's been just fine.
And no bulge in my pant pocket, especially from a big phone with an even bigger armor-plated case.... 🤣
Of course, you could put the phone in your jacket pocket...
UTG Recon.
Great price.
Got tilt.
Got click-adjustable and fine-adjustable legs.
Comes with a picatinny rail that can be attached to a sling studd.
Did I mention: great price!

I live and hunt in Peru.
And yes to all the comments on how beautiful South America is. 💚
Peru especially (yeah, I'm not biased, of course not! 🤣)

The deer in the jungle regiones of Peru are rather small and stocky.
Friends of mine found(!) a baby deer on a jungle hike whose mother must have gotten shot by some locals.
They brought it to the city and raised it in their backyard.
It was the darnest thing...! 🤣

Hi, 😊
I'm new here at HuntTalk, looks like a good forum to be on — lots of info. 👍🏼
I live and hunt way down South, like waaaaay down! 😄 In Peru, South America, that is.
🔶I'm excited by what optics that have come out recently can do for me — without doing me in financially.... 👍🏼...
Great thread...! 👍🏼😄
Totally ambiguous question. Makes for great click bait.
Worked with me! 🙋🏻♂️
Like all those general questions that lack context.... — what are your shooting scenarios where you want to use that scope?
▪Hunting? What quarries? What ranges?
▪Target shooting? What...
When I first started to look at scopes all I was concerned about was the top end magnification.
After I had spent (wasted) my money 🤦🏻♂️ I realized that the bottom end magnification can be just as important, or more so! Because it determines the field of view (FoV) for quick and close shots...
I made a Scope Mounting Table for 30mm — with 21 options.
With emphasis on adjustable rings and rails with cant.
Table includes height, price, total amount of elevation adjustment, and options for someone with a dovetail rail to convert to picatinny.
Hope it helps someone. 😊
Matthias...
The OP wanted to know "Who needs glass this big...."
Well, most of us. I do.
Because most of us believe — bigger is better.
Doooh! 😄
But seriously, imagine a glass & stalk hunt with his monster....
Better have a buddy that's willing to lug it around including the required industrial grade...
Just a note about the warranty.
Hawke's lifetime warranty extends only to the original owner....
With proof of purchase.
If you bought it used, you have a scope without a warranty....
Just sayin' — sometimes it pays to read the legal yada yada.... 😟
Matthias 👍🏼
