You you only use your rifle for a few minutes each hunt and that’s if you are lucky. On the other hand you should be spending 8+ hours in the glass trying to find game. There is way to much focus on the rifle and not enough focus on the glass 
Optics are more important than rifles….change my mind

I wonder what kind of binos Daniel Boone used when he crossed the Cumberland gap..I'm guessing something out of the Sears Roebuck catalog..
You put Daniel Boone in the AZ desert with his old set up and me put there with 15s on a tripod and I will be feeding Boone. Great hunter for sure but a totally different time in this country.
100 % agree. Just imagine what it will be like in just 25 years. Assuming hunting has not been banned.
Looking for hunting conversations with these posts not arguments. What are people using why it works etc.
I am very partial to glassing off of a tripod. The first field testing run of Tricer GTP-I will be arriving soon. A tripod with every feature that you want, functions from sitting to standing, and only weighs 20oz.
I think guns and caliber are by far the new hunters biggest focus. Not only that a ton of dudes who have been hunting their whole lives still just walk around with their rifles or drive around in the truck. Good glass on a tripod is the most deadly thing in the field.

@Truduct looking forward to the field review of the new product!
What the heck am I looking at? Did it grow over itself? Stop teasing and zoom out.
You're probably right..if he could have only seen the west..he'd be running one of those slick tripods forsure!
GTP-I better not be as heavy as you are now bro !!! Gosh dang man, look at that gut bro hammer !!
Great work drew both on your products and in the gym !
can’t wait to try it out.
SLC 15’s are the worst thing for deer since mountain lions came around….
As somebody that used poverty tier glass this weekend I'll agree without even knowing what I'm missing. All I know is that I struggled to make out the important details such as rack size, looking toward sun into shade looked terrible, lower light seemed like a struggle. However if I pick up expensive glass in bass pro and compare it to cheap I really can't tell that much of a difference. I suspect this is because better glass excels in actual field conditions like I stated above much better but I really have no idea.

A brief story. Last year we glassed up a bedded Coues buck with a Swaro spotter. We then placed a night force spotter next to it, and even knowing where the buck was could not see him in the NF. Now I would not claim NF to be tier 1 glass, but a 1500$ spotting scope none the less. And just FYI this buck was inside of 500 yards! Just goes to show, glass makes a difference.

Kooze I agree...Buy once , cry once when it comes to optic's. I'm a Leica guy but won't ever argue with a Swaro guy and I question all the others. IMO everthing else is another story.. Buy what you can afford but IMO Leica and Swarovski are the benchmark. Convince me otherwise.....

Always wanted to try Leica, I hear some people’s eyes prefer them. It’s hard to convince someone to spend that kinda cash. From a non hunters perspective it seems braggadocios, but it honestly it couldn’t be further from the truth. Every step up makes a difference. I’ll be the first to admit I can’t stand Vortex, but the UHD stuff is very good!
The native Indians never starved in the western desert.
