Dang thatās pretty cool John, all those guys in your pictures have such similar taste in pistol grips, hand guards, risers, and other AR parts, Itās no wonder they have such similar taste in leupolds! And itās no wonder you guys are all such good friends, with all that similar taste.
Kyle and Ryan break it down a bit in this NSSF video.
You can fast forward to the 10:30 or so if you don't want to here about Leupold.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
High fences (small)? Hunting? Most partakers want to get fat, drunk, and leave with a nice office decoration and be back to work on Monday. They don't give a damn what you call it. Just my observation. Different strokes for different folks.
Exactly right.
I've been told Tejas is crammed with these canned operations, and I have no doubt that's true. I also have no doubt the type of people who partake are just as described.
Some countries require a fence to make a hunt legal and those fenced areas can be bigger than a lot of SE Alaska islands that plenty of people hunt. Even if they're not that big, pressure can make the critters in them stupidly shy, just like public land whitetails that live within the same few hundres acres, hiding instead of running. I'll get off my soapbox now.
Those places do exist, but my point is that not all high fence operations are canned hunts. Sometimes in some countries it just makes it a legal hunt, and hunting pressure has a HUGE impact.
Ted, Not all guided moose hunts are easy and successful? Speak the truth, here.
Whatās the real world expectation on getting crosshairs on a shootable bull? Shootable, meaning big freezer loaded with meat.

Only time Iāve ever been skunked beave, a good outfitter will make it right as mine is, offering me a return trip for a song, which is rare in itself. Ever open the border up Iāll be goin to BC for a return trip and Alberta. Hopefully Iāll be buying a new freezer!! šš
I remember you telling me that. Good outfitters are worth twice the price of shady ones, just for the piece of mind. My Yukon griz hunt is being rolled to next year due to COVID and I thank the lord daily for booking with who I did, instead of wondering if I'd be crammed in the same camp with next year's hunters, or I'd have to pay next year's prices, etc. There's none of that.
Ya picked a shiit year heās usually 100%, year I went only 1 bullwinkle was killed, other outfitters were same boat. Who ya book grizz with Ted? Mountain grizz horn me up, the beach bears donāt interest me
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, Iād rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I am in the same boat.
Inland Grizzlies just seem neater and Toklat coloring is added bonus.
Just make sure Leupold is steering the bullets.

Widrig Outfitters out of Whitehorse.
I'll kill a coastal brownie some day, but while we're young enough going after the mountain and interior bears just seems "better".
Nice bear aalf, dig the KOM wool too. Still got the sta?

The STA was a switch barrel gun I put together. Started with a first Gen Sendero in 7 STW, then added the STA barrel with the intent on going on a bear hunt at some time, and a third in a 375 H&H Ackley.
All are long gone now, with the last "big" gun in the house being a 338-06 Ackley, put together with the idea of doing an inland grizz hunt some day.
Sadly, I doubt that's going to happen, so have been contemplating on moving it too.
Probably have to take off the Leupold to move it though.....ha..ha.....
