Oregon Elk Bow/Rifle

Likes

Oregon elk hunting is one of the toughest sports that a person can endure. As an outfitter, I pride myself and using optimal equipment to make my adventures more comfortable and successful. Hunting as a lifestyle requires planning, preparation and research on the best equipment available. Oregon has a rugged Steve terrain and the equipment needed to be successful is key. I've hunted these animals my whole life for over 30 years and now the tricks to be successful in harvesting. It comes down to the proper gear to support this climate and to terrain. This cure is also promoted to my clients as they witnessed the effectiveness and application when used and represented by me on hunts or on the water fishing.

I love the Leupold 1400 rangefinder. Very fast and easy to use. Small and compact needs more magnification for longer range.

Binos are all the vortex Models, 10x42 vipers seem to be my favorite for fitting on my face and clarification. Diamondback is a lot less expensive But not as clear.

Clothing

I have found with years of guiding outfitting that buying the best gear possible is critical. Schnees, Kenetrek and Crispi boots have made it so I can get to areas that other people cannot.

I have learned that socks are more critical than people think. Darn tough makes the most comfortable and moisture wicking clothing I have worn for my feet. If your feet are taken care of your hunt will be more successful.
