S.3A - 20-40 / 24-52X67 by Maven — High end, compact spotter with excellent clarity at maximum zoom.
B.5 - 10x56 / 12x56 / 15x56 / 18x56 by Maven — I'm a big fan of 12x for Western hunting. So long as you have a reasonably steady hand, you can effectively use 12x as hand held optics. Of course, mounted on a tripod is where they will really perform well. With 12s on a tripod, I can often leave the spotter at home.
RS1.2 - 2.5-15x44 FFP by Maven — 2.5-15 is perfectly sufficient for practical hunting distances while still maintaining the ability to handle stalking duties in dark timber. Of course, the ability to dial up adjustments for longer ranges is a prerequisite. All in all, this is a perfectly sufficient optic for most hunters without spending a fortune. You can spend more, you can spend less, but that is a really great compromise for the price point.
Trango Alpine GTX by La Sportiva — Burly boot for difficult, high country terrain such as the nastier elk habitat and/or goat/sheep hunting.
PEAX BACKCOUNTRY DUO HEADLAMP by PEAX Equipment Co. — The brightest red light on the market. Excellent battery life, too.
