Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Best scope covers to use in hunting situations?

If you would quit flappin your gums and spend a little time doing some maintenance, your junk rifles wouldn't look so crappy.... A little EEzox or CorrosionX goes along way! "HINT"

There are some great photos indeed, even from the spectacularly disturbed "Boxer". It is noteworthy, and explicable, that Boxer's photos do not include other hunters, with the exception of some posted of the children, whose expressions are strikingly haunted and joyless.

The narcissist description leads Boxer's resume, but many of the photos are stunning.

Sad but true!

BC caps break. In the last dozen yrs I've broken 4. They are cheap and unfortunately I carry an extra set in my pack. But, they simply work fantastic. I do have a set of Leupolds Alumia Flips on a Leupold 6x42 that have performed well over the last 3 seasons under snowy conditions. I tend to believe Boxer and his rain infested results with Alumia Flips, and Scopesheild's sock style cover. I hunt Elk in the sideways rain and fog in Coastal Washington mountain ranges where 75 plus inches fall a year and BC caps are a must. I also hunt in North Idaho and NW Montana and have yet had Alumia Flips fail in Rain or snow.

Biggest problem with neopreme type scope socks is that in the heat of battle the interior will collect moisture which is near impossible to whipe dry. BC caps can easily be wiped moisture free.

I wish the BC caps were tougher. Ultimately there just isn't another option for how I hunt.

Can't imangine a world in which I puzzy footed through seasons where I'd never break a BC cap. That just simply put ain't never gonna [bleep] happen.

We get about 9 inches of rain fall a year. I never have had the Alumina fail in the light rain or dry snow here in Wyoming. None of them are really waterproof and I fight dust way more than serious rain.

Because I carry a rifle in a saddle scabbard the lower profile of the Alumina is an advantage.





The biggest advantage from where I sit is the fold flat feature.

Stick, I gave it a quarter turn counter clockwise because the cover would come back(light 300WSM) and hit the bill on my ballcap.
Very annoying so given the Suko's low bolt throw I 'fixed' the issue. Not bitching about the BC's, in fact I'm impressed that is still hangin' on!


Ack and Burn's, nice collections!

Ackleymam,

Sugar,I'll ask again,just what is it you do for a living that has you conditioned to think waltzing in ankle tall grass is "hard"? 'Course that'll horn MagnumDouche and K-She all the [bleep] up.




IEH,

Still groovin' on "all" your pics,you really put the what-is to Critters! Laffin'!

Also enjoying your red ass that I'm a World Class Photographer,but it's old "news". Adds a little sumptin' that a sandbagging poker face shakes your Do-Nothing ass up,though both traits is held in the highest of esteem in these parts and is the longest running of jokes...save you Do-Nothing gals thinkin' you've a clue. Pardon my being more than a whole bunch good,at more than a whole buncha things...it's how I roll.

Wry grins is legal,if cast in the appropriate direction,which is away from the camera.



But the best Style Points always go to the nonchalant approach,because I've long been acclimated to bestowing splendor.





So are the kids.




Runnin' mates roll likewise.

Humor is always appreciated and scores heavy Style Points too.

But it's tough to top the humor of a Snake Oil Salesman talking out his ass and blowing smoke too and you've really got it going on!

Congratulations?!!?




badczech,

I reckon the Slovak moniker,is a none too subtle nom de plume for your penchant to allow your mouth to take you places,your ass can't get you outta. Fitting,though none too sly.

Wow! 75 whole inches in a year?!!? That's funny,add 100 to it and check back with me. Please critique the following video and feel free to cite the rigors you'd deem requisite to fail BC's,as per your "hardcore" experience. Laffin'!


Yet Another Link To The BC Trials


Hunting with a 6x42? Surely you jest,those things are no good up close or out a ways.

Good one!




JB,

I can't know what it's like,to not have to contend with perpetual saturation due to incessant Monsoon. Keeps the riff-raff out too.



SamO,

Waiting for you to tell me you wore your cap askew at 45 degrees out from center and your britches below your ass cheeks to boot.


Laffin'

With your lack of education and intelligence I realize it was unfair of me to have you read all of the definition. My apologies.

Pay attention to the areas in red, and especially the larger font.

After reading many of your posts, it seems the above words may also have much meaning to yourself, coming from an outsider looking in.

Ask yourself this one question before you lay to rest this evening. Why?

Why do you chastise others for things you may do differently?
Why is your way so much better than many others on this forum?
Why if we are so unintelligent, do you waste your time with such nonsense?
Why do you have to prove to yourself you are better at things than us here?
Why does what we think matter at all?

Well, I already know in your response you will be [bleep]' laffin' as you so commonly put. I understand that no matter what I type, I will be wrong and you will be right. I hope you find comfort in that.

However, I will share with you what I see when I read your posts.

I see a man that is living a great life. One who knows what it is to truly "live" in nature and to appreciate what each day brings. I see a man whose children are following in his footsteps and seem happy with the same lifestyle. I see a person who seems blessed.

So, why are you so unhappy? Why are you so insecure? What causes you to constantly put yourself on a pedestal amongst Internet peers you likely have never met?

You seem like the type that wouldn't care about what we think, but yet you do. Actually, you REALLY do. Otherwise, you wouldn't post your all to common degrading responses to people you should be trying to be-friend.

We aren't your enemy.

Look around you. Take a deep breath. Look at your life.

Your worst enemy is yourself.

Big plus-one SteelCity.

I ran Alumina's in the rain; they didnt leak on me either. And the fold-flat part doesn't suck one bit, nor does the low (no?) profile, when used on a setup with potential bolt-clearance issues.

I default to the BC's though usually because I'm not running many Leup
scopes right now.

When you wake up in his skin everyday, you'd be "laffin" to keep from contemplating blowing your brains out. It's very pathetic actually.

Nice pics fellas, even you GIJoe.

Only when I go down town....grin

You wearin the low riders nowadays?!

K-She,

I enjoy it when you hold your breath and stomp your feet...to put emphasis on all your insecurities. Your pics are really "helping" too. Laffin'!

Try this toots: pry your [bleep] from the kouch and step outdoors and do a little sumptin',it'll help your blood pressure and if you took notes and apply same,it'll MUCH improve your Game. Pun be intended.

I know you've a long established penchant to set on the sidelines and watch others connect dots,while you pout in angst and live vicariously...fact is,not many is "better" at it. Just sayin' I enjoy your conviction,no matter how misguided and how animated you become. Groovin' on how stupidity isn't an act for you and how you thrive on reiterating same.

In fairness,you're probably a fair to middlin' fluffer.



StillSchittyArcher,

Obviously,comprehension ain't your gig,but you're a spicy gal. You'd do well to take notes and apply same,though I enjoy that you are to dense to savvy that,which is part of your spice.

Rest assured,that there's gents far brighter than you connecting dots and applying same,less concession. I enjoy how that salient fact fully escapes you,though in fairness,there is no reason for you to point out the glaring lapses you "enjoy". Feel free to cite where you Imagine my being mistaken and I'll happily rub your nose in your own stupidity. I'll use leetle words,should it help. Some things are subjective,but a Scope Purse assuredly isn't amongst those ranks.

Tickled that you contrive unhappiness on my end,because you clueless dolts are the Christmas that never ends. Look objectively at the cast of characters whining and it well beyond apparent,that a more pathetic band of Do-Nothing Dumbphucks could not be assembled(save the lapse of Bigsqueeze becoming un-dead and joining the fray). Entertaining and then some,that your Estrogen Levels compel you to attempt cajoling the Do-Nothing Gang into actually doing something Outdoors,to salve the realities of their perpetual dumbphucktitude. It's like a Jerry Lewis Telethon,as all the key "players" whine,weasel,wriggle and weep en masse,then try to blame others for their sucktitude. Very curious to me,for you to cast a train of thought to embrace their collective stupidity and applaud their "knowledge","results" or "experience" as anything other than the grandiose comedy it most certainly is.

I speak matter of factly,because facts matter and the Do-Nothing Gang finds it unsettling,which assuredly cracks me the [bleep] up. Rest assured I've no intent to steal their bandwidth,as it's a never ending Science Experiment of sorts,to watch them bump their heads,stub their toes and lick windows...under the auspice of their knowing what in the [bleep] they are talking about. It's as good as humor gets!

I'm more than a whole bunch comfy in my skin and have known for decades that there's damn few folks who have it as good as me. I savvy that I've lived a slice of Life that very few have and I've great appreciations for those fortunes,whether they were "luck" or due to keen foresight on my part. I'm as openminded as they come,but do not suffer fools or Snake Oil Salesmen and I'll not [bleep] goods I'm not steeped in. Few is more fair than I and I've zero qualm denoting goods how they are. Want the straight scoop,ask the question and I'll hitcha with the skinny,if I've BT/DT.

Few folks have the time,interest,means and desire to shake goods out,but I've a curious nature and prefer a hands on approach,so my Mail Man stays rather busy...to the chagrin of many. I'm unbiased,gun an openmind and ain't never not looking for a better way. When schit is schit,I'm at ease in branding it same. If it rocks,I'm just as at ease there. To couple those constants,I also have the luxury of being afforded the topography,vegetation and weather to test things like very few others,besides the physical gifts to wring schit out and the analytical mind to savvy the cause/effect of same. Cracks me up,that the Do-Nothing Gang cain't like that either!

My worst enemy is time,which is why I work/play hard and try to get a few day's worth of goody outta every day. I'm diggin' the odds,in regards to that curve.

Enjoyed the fireside chat,order yourself a Scope Purse and be a trendsetter.

Laffin'!




JeffO,

You're simply the sorriest of the sorry [bleep],which do put you in Rare Air. Hoping you can glean at least a little of how incredible that "accomplishment" really is.

Just when I think you've done/said the most [bleep] stupid [bleep] thing POSSIBLE,you easily top it and always accidentally.

You go girl!




JG Texas Tea Bagger,


I'll keep flippin you pics,so you can see what the Outdoors look like.

Laffin'.

Nice mules... work on the saddles but nice mules...

Ha, I assume you mean the pack saddles with the mesh panniers.

I am a constant cause of embarrassment to my dad and anyone who has to travel down the trail with me.

I do manage to get loads from here to there without needing to stop and shift loads or repack. That�s the whole bull on Mariah there and while the trip out was pretty level and only 4 miles she never needed a shift or repack.



It ain�t pretty but I have lost all interest in diamonds and can barely stomach a well done box hitch.

JB, Nice pics of your pack string!

The first picture of the old guy has been a favorite of mine for along time. Classic pic...

Great pics Burns, you know what you're doing. I have zero pack string knowledge, just lucky to saddle an old cow pony....grin

First morning I'd ever rode this [bleep] out in the Breaks.
Hammerhead, zero buck but still likes to act an idiot. Plays out quick, might make a good kids horse.



My old man the next day wondering WTF is this chit 3 1/2 miles from the pickup? Out gathering cows...
The buckskin noticed the tail(sticking out the side of his head) about halfway down the hill and boogied off for a minute. Ran back to the other horses once it figured out the tail wasn't gonna kill it, luckily the deer didn't go flying.


Down to the bottom.






Stick, you are not the only one who thinks they have life by the tail. Lots of us do(maybe).


More Prairie Fairy chit......grin

Grass is shorter on your side of the hill....
