FIVE things to know for New Hunters

Matt walks you through five things he wishes he would have known before he dove into hunting in the Western United States.

Thanks! Glad to know there's others hunting on the surface of the sun.

Excited for this year! Got new glass, 2 tags for my 2 boys. Personally, I wish I would have bought top tier glass at first like my hunting buddy told me. Would have saved me money and likely got us more kills.

Hell ya, Good luck! You're obviously not alone in the glass mistake, I went through a few before I finally bit the bullet.

@@DeerandDonuts I actually saw and commented on this vid 😂🤭 I purchased to try out the : Maven B5 12x56 Maven B6 12x50 Swarovski NL 12x42 GPO Passion HD 12.5x50 I ended up keeping the Swaros BUT I also kept the B6s. They were just too good to return, better in low light than the Swaros (understandable right? (42 vs 50mm) plus they were a “gift” to my son as he needed a better set of binos. The B5s, though better in chromatic aberration, were not better overall than the B6s To justify the size/weight difference. The GPOs were very nice also, although the quality of the 8 cups themselves for the best out of the bunch, they were uncomfortable to me as I put them to my eye. The NL Pures have the most amazing edge to edge, Clarity blow everything else out of the water plus that field of view, I had to have em. In my opinion to my eyes, the mavens give the nicest most detailed sharp picture with the best color saturation, around the center 3rd anyway, after that the image is less clear and toward the edge not clear. Anyway, anyone reading this should give them all a try, wish I could have kept them all lol

Awesome review! The B6s just weren't "big enough glass" for my purposes but I've been really impressed overall with Maven. At the end of the day Swaros will always be the gold standard if you have the cash though.
