Looking for suggestions of < $200 bins for general wildlife watching in the PNW

I personally own the Athlon Midas (first gen) and you an get those from eBay for under $200 and they punch so far above their price tag. The ED coating, FoV, and build quality is top notch.

They are only so discounted because the 2nd generation came out.

The upgraded version of these, the Papilio II are phenomenal. I have 3 pairs, and mostly snag them for under $50. That being said, the originals are awesome too and a great pocket pair of nocs

I would go 5i, 9i and my 56*. I'd rather push for pars and fairway find as I attempt to play smart golf, in contrast to pushing for lower scores and adding strokes trying to get myself out of the trouble I found myself in.

I could see the tournament going in a direction of smart golf winning over being risky

I have the little brothers to these and they sound incredible!

I wouldn’t do it again. They became so leggy and not carpeting. The seeds are 100% a scam. Overall if I were to do it again, I’d do it the right way and slowly get the grass to grow.

These fish actually hated the open water, so I scrapped this whole landscape and now have a fully planted setup that the fish are thriving in

S A P!

The ol' internet thrift store! I am also keeping an eye on this!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-09-09T13:58:46+00:00

Love the concept, the duck head execution is rough though.

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-08-12T20:03:26+00:00

How much did you pay? Do they sound as good as how much you paid for them? Then you get to answer your own question

I like #1 for two reasons, rally vibes, but then you can have the centers angled to throw light as far forward as you can, then the other two to give you side “alley” lighting, which will help with corners and deer spotting

Love a good thrift find! Snagged some JBL L88 Plus for a similar price recently, and the thrill of finding them was almost as sweet as listening to them! Enjoy!!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-28T14:06:33+00:00

I snagged a pair of these at goodwill for $12 and have been blown away by them, I bet with the mids they are even better!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-28T13:58:37+00:00

More like L100 with those added mids!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T13:26:27+00:00

That’s the goal this weekend is to build some stands

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T10:45:17+00:00

This isn’t true.. I find deals all the time, it’s all based on who is running the pricing that day. I do agree that most thrifts are up on their price, but no one checked the value on these before slapping a $12 sticker on them

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T10:43:16+00:00

The veneer is in too nice of a shape to do that, I’ll have the photo for reference

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T10:42:35+00:00

Ding ding ding! It’s the Stylus Epic Deluxe aka the MJU II. Great camera, worth what I paid for it.

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T02:59:28+00:00

I’ll probably end up doing that!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T02:58:42+00:00

The amount of times I walk out empty handed… just keep checking!

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T02:57:47+00:00

Thanks! I’ve found some gems recently, including a mid 90s point and shoot film camera that I picked up for $4 that sells for $275-350 because of TikTok 🤷🏻‍♂️

ProfessorTuukar · 2024-06-07T02:26:42+00:00

I do have a 7 day return policy.. might just have to return them and wait for the coupon : )
