  1. I glass almost every night after work, weather ranges from 25-40 the last few weeks...I only use my super down and a long sleeve shirt. It seems to do well. Just remember to hang it from a hanger to keep loft when not in use.. I will hold it up to the light later this evening.
  2. Super down is best used in your pack until you need it around camp or glassing etc...it is not designed to be used during activity as it doesn't breath and is not as moisture tolerant as your kenai or other layers..

    what to bring on mid January Coues Deer hunt

    I love my superdown jacket...you will want it as you sit glassing and light enough to carry all over the mountain as you hike..I've had January days that didn't get above freezing down in the desert. Not very often but it can happen.

    30% All Kuiu Gear Sale

    I've been a customer almost since the beginning before they were popular. In AK airports and from AK guides this weekend I saw probably 3-4 times as much Kuiu as all other brands combined. I'm thinking about changing because I hate being like everyone else. That being said their gear is great and they will continue to grow even with the short inventory.
  8. I have one..new model, does not have straps on the bottom..

    Dream Mountain Goat Hunt!!

    I am fairly used to the cold the biggest problem for me was the long periods of laying in my sleeping bag. 15+ hours of dark, no fire, no chair,blowing wind and snow about drove me crazy. Yes Conor I am getting old. . Thanks everyone it really was a dream come true.

    What is the Ultimate Hunt?

    Mountain goat was on my list. I had to sell my Dodge Cummins to go, and I am glad I did. Almost everyone can afford a trip like mine, if and only if they are willing to sacrifice. I hope someday when the student loans are paid I can think about what may be next.

    Vortex torque specs versus Leupold specs.

    good luck on all future tracking I hope it works better for you than me. I had torqued mine to vortex specs and still had problems.

    Michigan Rut is still on..Deer#3

    Great looking Buck!! Sounds like an awesome vacation...
  13. This past weekend I traveled to an area to help a buddy of mine that has the Coues hunt coming up. Our plan was to hit as many areas as we could to find some Coues bucks for him and his wife. He was planning on staying in an area he had hunted and scouted quite a bit, while I was going to look at some new country. I ended up shooting this bear glassing for Coues deer and we were able to turn up 4 bucks 2 shooters. I felt a little selfish shooting this bear while I was looking for deer, but a big thanks to my buddy helping on the packout.

    Help with Binoc purchase

    All things being equal or somewhat equal, this is a huge reason to buy swaro, if you have the money. Besides you can actually tell your spouse they are an investment.

    The Jag

    I rarely if ever refer to a name of a buck or a bull outside of my close group of friends. We all hunt the same areas and try to get to know all the animals in that area, (unsuccessful I know) often times there are a few that are real wide or have extra kickers etc... it is easier for us to talk about which buck or bull was seen by using a name. I killed a decent bull last year, we dubbed the big thirds bull because guess what ??? he had big thirds, this year we found an area that had two bulls with giant thirds, we had to come up with separate names. As an individual it is easy to know what animal you are seeing, but it is tough trying to convey that to your other good buddies. I don't like dumb names though myself, all of them have reference to characteristics.

    Zeiss Conquest HD 15x56 vs Swarovski SLC 15x56

    As nice as the Nikon EDG may be, I would be hard pressed to spend that kind of money on a Nikon. Not worth the risk IMO
