- Scopes-Currently on 375 H&H Leupold VX-6 both 1-6x & 2-12x in QR mounts
Binoculars-what ever is appropriate for the ranges, but these days I really enjoy light weight 8x32 Nikon compacts to carry in the mountains or dark timber and bushveld.
Spotting scope-currently I like carrying a Vortex 15-33x...light and compact and I can clarify anything I can get to in a couple of hours.

- Gear I cannot live without
- Map and compass (I also usually carry a GPS, but nothing beats old school for reliability)
- My best hunting tip
- Be tenacious and don't give up until the last light of the last day.

- Fishing, use to mountain bike (Moab, Fruita, etc), backpack (walked 56 miles in 2 1/2 days across the Weminuche Wilderness, over 75 trips of 2 to 21 days), bike tour (Italy, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Tasmania, New Zealand), kayak fish, oh and life...it's a wonderful thing to enjoy!
