I got the 25-50x80, the wide. I have the first version, to be clear - the S.1. I could be wrong but I believe the original S.1 was only offered in that configuration, and then the S1.2 has the option for 30-65 + interchangable eyepieces.
I don't have any comparisons to Kowa or Swarovski glass but I just got an S1.S on sale and have been really impressed with it. No complaints so far on my end.
Anybody use these/have any experience with them? I'm in the market for a new pair of binoculars and these seem pretty intriguing. I'm particularly interested in the 10x50s because I want all the brightness I can get hunting blacktails. Seems like there aren't many 10x50 options in this price...
Stress responses (i.e. elevated cortisol, glucose, lactate etc) in fish post-capture have been pretty thoroughly studied. Not saying we all need to start munching bean sprouts, but denying the existence of any stress/impact doesn't do us any good either. Worth examining so we at least know what...
Probably Siddhartha. Definitely left the strongest impression on me, anyways. I'd like to read it again in the future, see if my perspective on it will change at all. I did really enjoy A River Runs Through It and Snow Country as well though.
January reads. Books I should have read sooner + some Japanese classics. Also currently about 50% through Butcher's Crossing by John Edward Williams but I might drop it. It just hasn't grabbed me yet, which is surprising because I absolutely love Stoner. Might just power through anyways.
WA spring turkey
OR spring bear if I draw
OR archery roosevelt elk
WA fall bear
WA muzzleloader elk (probably can't hunt much of the season though)
WA general rifle blacktail
OR late archery blacktail
This will be my first full year in WA and I'm pretty excited for this year's hunting plans...
I'm also interested in what people will recommend for this question, but I wanted to mention that it's worth comparing more than just battery capacity when you are trying to get an idea on battery life. I have a pixel 8 (4575 mAh) and my battery life is abysmal. This is a common complaint and...
Just a general hunting license. Sounds fair to me, I usually put an absurd amount of pins down when I go anywhere so I don't think there will be any doubt where I have been
I'm going to Oregon for the weekend, and figured I might as well bring a shotgun in case I see some snowshoe hares. But then I got to thinking that I should head east and try for some jackrabbits too. I've never hunted them and I've always been curious. It's legal to hunt black-tailed...
I've been making this Middle Eastern Rice fairly often lately and I really like it. I will usually sub out the ground turkey for either shredded chicken thighs or ground venison because ground turkey is so bland, but honestly it's still pretty good in this particular recipe.
Huh, I didn't even consider a short-term small game license, I didn't think that existed in MI but it does. I could get a 3 day for 50 dollars or a 7 day for 80. That's a bit more palatable. Guess I should have checked a few days ago!
