Wyoming Big Game Guide and Hunter

With the ever-changing Wyoming weather and game we pursue you have to have well-rounded gear. And that is what I am looking for when I purchase gear.

Optics

Optics cover

I mainly use Vortex optics. I love the warranty and they are great optics. Every couple of years I send my optics for little wear and tear things and they always come back working like new. I did recently buy a Maven scope for a gun I bought and have to say that it is one of the best scopes I have ever looked through.
