    Cabelas Meindl boots

    I have had the perfekt hikers for a couple years now and really like them. I only use them 7 to 14 days a year for backpack hunts/scout. I use pronghorns or lowa renegade the rest of the time depending on the hunt/scout trip.

    Leftovers....Bad news

    A guaranteed leftover tag is a thing of the past. More and more people will be putting them tags down as 3rd choice on the draw.

    What binoculars to buy

    I really like 8s around my neck. Great to hand hold, gather a lot of light and big field of view. I have not looked through the zeiss terra but I have the zeiss 15x56 and love them. I have a buddy that has 10x42 vipers hd and they are nice. I have 8x44 minox that they do not make anymore and I like them better than the vipers.

    New guy question

    Just curious, did you compare them to anything else before you bought them? I have hands held them briefly in the store and wasn't sure if the eye cups were to bulky or not. They look thicker than the swaros so I'm not sure if that would make a difference or if I would just get used to what I have. I looked at all 3 several times in the store. I was going to get whatever one I liked best. Call me crazy but I liked the Zeiss slightly better. Maybe opinion would have been different if I was on the side of a hill with all 3.

    Vortex Vultures 15x56 HD's

    I have a buddy that has the 15x58 Minox and I had the Kaibabs, we looked through them side by side on tripods several times and we both agreed that the Minox were better. I have the Zeiss 15x56 now and love them. I still have my old Minox 13x56 that I have had for years and I like them better than the Kaibabs also. I have not looked through the Minox 15x56.

    Best Mexican Food In Tucson

    Poco and moms chile rellenos with green chili on them is killer!
  19. I started using the sawyer in line filter last year and really like it. I put it on a bladder drink tube and gravity fill any water bags or other bladders I bring. I got sick of pumping water. It works great on clean water and weighs just a few ounces. I have not tried it on really dirty water yet. I always bring purifying tablets as a backup. I love backpack hunts! My last 4 rifle Coues hunts have all been backpack hunts and 2 have been solo. This year will be another solo as long as I get a tag. You have lots of time in the dark if its one of the later hunts so I bring my iPod. Nothing like listening to Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and George Strait anticipating the next days hunt. Very rewarding but can be very rough. As long as I can do it, rifle hunts will all be backpack hunts.

    Leftovers go fast now days. There is no guarantee on getting a leftover tag anymore.
