EOY - What Equipment Worked, What Didn't?
Late season elk hunt: Cascade mtn trekking poles - saved me some major slides in the steep snow. 4 wheel drive for steep hikes in the snow. Meindl Perfect Hunter boots: Three years and proven performers. Keep my much-less-than-perfect feet/ankles together. Merino wool base layer: Switched from...- bls8433

Gun Bearer?
I purchased the Kifaru Gun Bearer this year and used it for a late season elk huntin. Worked well for quick access and out of the way when using trekking poles in the snow. It took a little to get used to but in the end was preferable to the over my shoulder sling. I used it with a Eberlestock...- bls8433

binocular harness/pouch
I am surprised with this as well. While my priorities may be a little different, I expect they would be very similar to others. With that, I am even more surprised that the Marsupial is not more popular. -

Rangefinding Binoculars
I have a pair of Leica ranging binoculars which work great and I use them for elk rifle hunting but choose to save weight for archery and use a separate rangefinder and keep some ultra compact binos in my pack if I need them. I rarely need binoculars when I bow hunt for elk where I hunt. If I... -

binocular harness/pouch
One more input: I recently spent several weeks investigating all binocular harnesses for my own purposes. I only have direct experience with a harness-only and my priorities were: *protect my binoculars *one handed use(without looking) as I would have a bow/rifle in my other hand * low as... -

Need help finding a new rangefinder
I expected the Leupold RX1300 to be as good or better than the 1200. However, it appears this is not the case except for a longer reflective ranging capability? -

Need help finding a new rangefinder
I have an older Nikon that works well but want to get longer ranging capabilities for elk shooting and ranging for spot- stalking distant elk. I am trying to keep under $300 budget and have spent way too much time looking at reviews. New models keep replacing the old so it is hard to keep up. I... -

Greetings from Minnesota
Hunting out West in the mountains was on my brother and my 'bucket list'. We arranged a bow/rifle elk hunt in Wyoming 4 years ago hunting public land. I was able to score a spike and our 'bucket' list has turned into a 'until we die' list! Both of us are bow and rifle hunters in Minnesota for...
