>Fear and Loathing in Kansas with Turkeys and Bushnell

Steven K. Ledin,

A friend of mine I’ll call Mark the Turkey Hunter was invited to Kansas with Bushnell to shoot turkeys in the face. A few items from OpticsPlanet went with him. For binoculars he used the Bushnell Chuck Adams Bowhunter edition. These small and reasonably priced glasses were the perfect size and weight for turkey hunting, but Mark later opted to use a binocular with much better performance, the superb Elite 10x42s.

>ATN PS-40 and Chuck the Vet’s Meat

Steven K. Ledin,

Continued from the previous blog: The ATN PS-40 comes in a great SKB hard case with all accessories and tools needed to mount the scope to a pic rail. The BAM mount is separate. The IR illuminator is included, and gives you the opportunity to use the device in complete darkness. Just this morning I spoke again to the person I plan to use it with for coyotes, and we’re trying to button the trip down a little tighter.

My friend Chuck the Vet was over the other day for some gun stuff. He just got a couple of new
