Summary of Advantages:
Spotting Scopes have higher clarity and magnification than binoculars.
- Magnification range of 15-45x or 20-60x
- Tripod stands for added stability
- Observe from a greater distance without alerting game of your presence
- Easily identify species, special markings, gender, and other details
A spotting scope is a modified telescope designed for use during the day. Spotting scopes generally come with a magnification range of 15-45x or 20-60x. Binoculars, on the other hand, only offer 7x or 10x magnification. Spotting scopes also come with tripod stands for added stability. The higher the magnification, the more important it is to keep the scope steady for a clear view.

The advantage of spotting scopes over binoculars is that they allow you to observe deer, waterfowl, or other wildlife from a greater distance without alerting game of your presence. Since spotting scopes offer higher magnification than binoculars, you can easily identify species, special markings, gender, and other details from a discreet distance.
The increased clarity of spotting scopes means that you can see birds and animals in greater detail than with binoculars. You can locate and identify targets at greater distances without straining your eyes or making guesses about distant, look-alike animals.
For the most accurate scouting and shooting, use your spotting scope. Or bring both binoculars and a spotting scope for the best of both worlds.
Summary:
For some hunters, a shooting rest is the key to a one-shot kill. It not only keeps your shot steady, but it lets you rest your gun while you wait. The three types of shooting rests are monopods, bipods, and tripods. Each type has its pros and cons. Which one is best for you depends on your hunting style and personal preference.

a

There are 3 basic types of tree climbing sticks: 1) stacking sections with folding steps, 2) stacking sections with fixed steps, and 3) separate climbing sections.
Climbing Sticks
with Folding Steps
- Stacking Climbing Sticks with Folding Steps
Stacking climbing sticks slide into each other to make one long stick ladder. This stacking feature adds stability. These climbing sticks are easy to set up. You can attach the sections together at ground level. Then you don’t have to worry about stacking sections as you climb. Just lean the attached climbing sticks against the tree, strap the lowest section around the tree trunk, and strap each of the other sections as you climb.
a
With folding steps, your climbing sticks will be easier to carry. The steps fold down for a more comfortable, compact carrying size.
a
- Stacking Climbing Sticks with Fixed Steps
The second type of stacking climbing sticks have fixed steps instead of folding ones. On the one hand, they are slightly more awkward to carry around, but on the other hand, they are cheaper than folding steps. So if you are looking to save some money, fixed steps are the way to go.
The crosspiece welded to the bottom of these climbing sticks provides a stable base and prevents the stick from digging too far down into the ground.
a
- Climbing Sticks with Separate Sections
Separate climbing sections take a little more finesse to set up. Each section is attached separately to the tree as you climb. This means that one section does not need to be placed directly above the last section. If you are climbing an irregularly shaped tree, this feature can work to your advantage. You can avoid knots and branches that would get in the way of stacking sections.
The downside is that you sacrifice a measure of safety. Setting up each section as you go means that you will have to balance on one section while you use both hands to attach the next section.
