With no extra time required for target acquisition and far more precise aiming, the Reflex gives its operator an advantage over a bead-sight hunter.

All I want a trail camera to do for me is take a decent picture of critters that walk in front of it. I want to know when they came by, and don’t really care about video. If it tells me the barometric pressure and moon phase that’s cool, but not essential. I want it to be reliable and, after working with cameras for a while, I know I prefer an infrared camera over those with a white flash because the flash will scare the dickens out of any self-respecting mature buck.

New miniature game camera offers clearer, brighter pictures than Moultrie's top-selling M-80.

Features a Ballistic Plex E1 etched reticle with four hold-over points and windage dots.

The Nighthunter's 56mm objectives and top-quality glass make it a great low-light performer.

Recently I spent some time with Jay Robert, a man who has a spent a lifetime hunting in the steep mountains and been a pack designer for a lot of years. He currently designs packs for Tenzing, a company that incorporates latest high-tech materials and design features for mountaineering. As someone who has hunted out of a backpack a lot, believe me when I tell you these new bags are worth a look.

As more and more hunters and shooters explore the complexities of long range shooting, factors like barometric pressure, altitude, and humidity have all the sudden entered into the shooting equation.

The choices hunters face when hunting whitetails where rifles are not an option can be confounding.

So you want to be a long-range hunter? You have a super-accurate rifle and you have tuned the ammo until it punches little bug holes in the target instead of groups. The trigger is crisp and clean and you have the best optics money can buy on top of the gun.
