Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday
Yeah thats kind of what I figured already. Normally when I plan out of state hunts like this I try to start 2-3 years out so definitely behind the curve on planning. As for animals, moose has been my main target lately. I hunted Newfoundland a couple years ago and never had an opportunity at... -

Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday
I'm open but shes pretty insistent she wants it to be this year. I think she feels like she failed at the gift idea if I have to wait since I'm already planning trips in future years. As for budget, I'd probably try to keep it under $10K but could stretch more for the right package. -

Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday
My wife just told me she's trying to plan a hunt for my 40th birthday this year. She is not a hunter herself so she quickly got overwhelmed and had to tell me about it early. Unfortunately, she told me after the application period ended for Colorado and Wyoming where I have points. She was... -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
The only reasons I'm comparing the VX2 and VX5 is I own both. I already had the VX2 on a rifle when I received the VX5 (172368) in a trade. I was really just asking this to see how much better the VX5 is in low light than the VX2 I have now is. I've taken them outside at night but I live in... -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
Its funny you say that. I have two main bolt actions setups that I hunt with. My medium range setup is Tikka T3 30-06 topped with a Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 BT. I can hit steel targets with that setup reliably out to 600 yards. It has been my do all cartridge and used it to kill deer, elk... -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
Don't throw logic at me ... Lol. I plan to do that but with three kids it's been challenging to time it perfectly right now. I just got the VX5 this week from a trade and have only had a couple opportunities to mess with it during the day while the kids were at school and daycare. I plan to... -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
In what ways? Is this the law of diminishing gains where you pay a lot more for a little improvement or is it drastically better optically? I haven't hunted with the VX5 yet but here at the house I don't see a huge difference looking through them. -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
When you say no contest, what makes it so much better? Not arguing, just trying to understand. -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
Well I already own the VX2 and VX5 so not looking to buy another one. Just deciding if I should put the VX5 on to replace the VX2 or just sell the VX5. -

Leupold VX2 vs VX5
Looking for some advice. I built a compact 308 last year for use when hunting in thick stuff and I dont need the longer range and weight of some of my other rifle packages. I got a Tikka T3x compact in 308 and had the barrel cut down to 16", threaded and topped it with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40... -

WTS Nikon Store Voucher
Posting for a friend. Since Nikon no longer sells riflescopes, if you send one in for warranty repair and they don't still have parts to fix it they issue you a voucher for the price equivalent for their website. He sent in a M223 scope and they gave him a $450 voucher to use on their website... -

Greg Merriam/Discount Hunts LLC
I cant vouch for this outfitter personally as I ended up not hunting with them but in my original post I mentioned an outfitter in Craig CO offering guaranteed mule deer hunts. I talked to him on the phone for quite a bit that year and asked him how he was able to offer a guaranteed hunt like...
