Shooting from a tripod
That is completely up to you and how you want to hunt. A bipod will most likely be smaller and lighter weight - my "shooting" tripod is north of 4 pounds.

Rangefinding binoculars
@brockel Will you follow up and let me know how you like the 3200.COM's? I have been eyeing them hard, especially since I can find some 10x42 in some classifieds for under $2k. I use Vortex Razor HD right now so I am assuming they would be a step up optically.. -
How long did it take for your first elk?
I have had 4 cow elk tags and have been lucky enough to fill all 4 tags. All were on private land and was a test of shooting vs hunting. No hunting or stalking had to be done. Regular depredation hunts on friend's land. My first ever bull elk tag was a spike tag in Utah. I spent a total of 6...
