All Other Gear / Re: What boots?
« Last post by Hunting Cowboy on Today at 04:05:38 PM »
fishngamereaper, I retired my Meindl’s boots after the 2023 hunting season after about 15 years. I loved everything about those boots but Meindl’s discontinued the model of boot I had. They carried boots that were similar but not same. After much thought and research, I purchased a pair of Schnee’s 200g Beartooth’s and have used them right out of the box and they have performed as good or better than my old Meindl’s for the 2024 and 2025 hunting seasons.

I’ve been a fan of Meindl’s for years.  Way back Cabelas used to sell them but now can buy off their website.

I just wore out my original Meindls after 18 years...the tread is still solid, but I finally spilt the leather around the ankle..I'm torn on what to go with next. Don't think I'll ever find a better pair of boots.

Scopes and Optics / Re: Real world feedback needed: Rangefinder Binos
« Last post by Atlas1993 on Today at 03:39:46 PM »
The latest Swarovski EL Range TAs have the rangefinder button on the left side. The glass quality was excellent. I used mine for two years before I lost them.

My biggest gripe was that they were thicker than standard binos. I had to upsize my bino pouch to accommodate.

Deer Hunting / Re: Eastern Washington Late Archery
« Last post by Pegasus on Today at 02:49:37 PM »
Seen 2 get taken. VERY VERY busy in my normal area, and way less deer there. Tried Swakane proper 1 day, never saw a deer. 
They are all spread out still up to 6K feet, where I did miss a shot at a smaller 4x.....never ever had a buck string jump a shot before now, and frustrating that it's my fastest bow ever.  :bash:

Had my first buck string jump sixty years ago. Over the years I have had another four happen. Did not seem to matter what speed the arrow was. The first was with a recurve and heavy wooden arrow. As time went on the bows and arrows changed with more speed each change. When I quit bowhunting I was using a compound bow set at 110 pounds pull with 50 percent let-off. Did not seem to matter with the jumping for some reason. It was extremely frustrating if you spent two hours maneuvering around with the wind and terrain to have the buck jump the string. Hopefully your miss happened without hours of effort on your part.

110 lb draw weight  :o

Been a few years since I quit and it appears no one hunts like that anymore. The last year I hunted I was still hunting and it was cold out. After freezing for several hours  I attempted to pull the bow back on a nice buck and could not. The rest of the season I cranked the poundage down to about 85. Never bow hunted after that year because of nerve damage. Turned out that quite a few of the bow hunters I knew that used the same methods also ended up with nerve damage. I suspect the bow hunting and practice with high poundage had a lot to do with it.

Appreciate the feedback. I will for sure carry a normal Leupold range finder for archery hunting. I don’t even pack binos most the time when archery hunting now days. I have found myself in a situation where I was having to bounce back and fourth between range finder and binos with a moving herd of elk this year. Finally got me to make the choice to switch to a all in one package.

Deer Hunting / Let's talk tags
« Last post by elk_sniper on Today at 02:43:26 PM »
What do you consider the best tags to put in for? I never try for them but 2026 year I am. Do you go for special locations or multi season? How does it work how do you get chosen? Imma tag virgin. Oh and I'm disabled with a placard and companion card if that helps.
