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. However, the versatility of it and how confident I am off of it makes it justifiable for me. Yeah, you could get away with just one tripod...
Winchester XPR Hunter .270 Win Bolt Action Rifle
TrueTimber Strata Camo Finish
Gun is brand new never been fired. Won it in a golf tournament.
Would trade/partial trade for a Lever Action Rifle chambered in 30-30, .308 or .270. Or looking to sell for $700 shipped
I have been shooting exclusively from a tripod since 2021. Ive taken 2 mule deer prone (825 and 450 yards), 1 mule deer standing (250 yards) and 2 elk sitting (600 and 300 yards). I pack two tripods, a fluid head for my spotter/binos and a ball head for my rifle. I don't know if I ever will go...
Shot this bull in CO 1st season this year. I picked up a leftover tag and hunted my good buddies ranch. Opening morning, he stepped out at 300 yards and that was all she wrote. 265 gr ABLR did the job!
An almost new Razor Mini. Bought it for a backpacking archery elk hunt that didn't happen. I did take it on one hunt this year, it rode in the pack for almost the entire trip.
Glass is in pristine condition, minor wear on the arca plate.
Looking to get $800 shipped.
@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..
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...
That is my experience. Last year, dozens of people with 0 points drew a specific tag I put in for year after year. I went in with 1 point and didn’t draw. I am interested to see if it is due to more applications or less permits. Regardless, I’ll get an elk tag and will go hunting!
I was able to arrow this bull after 3 weeks of hunting. This was in a unit that has the archery season all of September.
I drew this tag in 2022, drew a LE Antelope with 0 points in 2023, so I threw my name in for a deer tag this year. In other words, not planning on hunting Utah for a while!
