AN OLD HUNTER LEARNING NEW TRICKS THE GAME-CHANGING AGM SPECTRUM LRF 4K
As someone who’s spent decades relying on traditional glass optics, an independent optics reviewer said he always appreciated the simplicity and dependability of a well-made traditional glass optic.
“But in recent years, it’s been hard to ignore the rapid advancements in digital optics — and while I’ve seen my fair share of overpriced, overcomplicated gadgets come and go, the new AGM Spectrum LRF 4K Scope has a list of capabilities that become hard to ignore,” he wrote.
What grabbed the attention first was the built-in 1,000-meter laser rangefinder. If you’ve ever fumbled with a separate rangefinder while trying to keep your eye on the prize, you’ll know how much of a game-changer this feature is. Integrating this capability directly into the scope solves a major problem that digital optics have had for years — depth perception. Being able to gauge distance accurately without lowering the rifle is a timesaver and, more importantly, a confidence booster when you’re lining up a shot.
The optics themselves are nothing short of impressive. A 3840×2160 high-resolution sensor feeds into a 1920x1080 OLED display, offering sharp, clear images in both daylight and nighttime conditions. Digital scopes have come a long way, and the Spectrum LRF 4K is proof of just how far. AGM has also incorporated an adjustable aperture, which means better performance in those critical low-light moments — right at dawn and dusk — when the best opportunities often present themselves. Deer hunters are going to want to see this.
As someone who’s probably used to carrying extra batteries in the field, you’ll be pleased to see that AGM thought ahead here, too. With a runtime of up to 11 hours on its rechargeable battery setup, it’s built to last through those long days in the stand. And for the tech-savvy hunter, the scope’s 64GB internal storage is a nice touch, letting you record your hunt in high resolution without needing external devices.
“I’ve always believed that nothing beats a good, old-fashioned traditional scope,” the reviewer wrote. “But after spending time with the AGM Spectrum LRF 4K, I’m convinced there’s a place for this kind of technology in every hunter’s kit. It’s not just about the bells and whistles — it’s about giving you the tools to hunt smarter, with more tools at your disposal, and at a price point that won’t break the bank.”
Technology in the field is here to stay, and with optics like the Spectrum LRF 4K, it’s becoming hard to resist. It’s a digital scope that’s built for hunters, by people who really do love the hunt as much as we do.

We invited arguably the most dedicated whitetail hunters in the country to share their ideas and provide detailed product feedback. Taking that potent knowledge, we developed a line that breaks the mold of the common seasonal system. We then turned the gear over to our pro team to give it their worst. After extensive testing and tuning, we now offer you an all-new whitetail system that truly makes a difference.

Spanning over 76 square miles of prime ranch country, the Block Ranch is well positioned north of the scenic Capitan Mountain Range, northeast of Capitan, New Mexico.

These areas transition to open rolling grama grass prairies.
A tremendous and somewhat unique feature on the Block Ranch is the amazing Macho Spring. This clear water, cool flowing spring has long been the lifeblood of the property and this one singular spring provides 75% - 80% of the ranch livestock water through an extensive network of waterlines, reservoirs and approximately 80 drinking troughs. In addition to Macho Spring, there are several other smaller springs, wells, and dirt tanks. The Block Ranch has been conservatively hunted over the years and hunting can offer an additional source of income to the ranch. Wildlife includes mule deer, elk, and antelope.

He’s
getting ready, are you?
By Craig Nyhus
Star outdoor newS
The buck has been preparing all year. Range conditions have been good, even despite a brutal late summer, and he is strong, his antlers grew well and he has an extra layer of fat for the upcoming rut. He’ll soon be on the prowl with his nose in the air, looking for does. If there is a buck in the way, he’ll be looking for a fight.
Will he come in this year?
The general season is coming soon. Your rifle is cleaned, your scope is dialed in and you’ve checked, cleaned and tested the blinds and feeders. The trail cameras are in place and you’re checking your phone several times each day, looking for him. You’ve seen the images of your dream buck.
Do I have everything covered?
You think about it every day and especially lying in bed each night. You have a blind in position for every wind direction. The blind windows don’t squeak, and there’s new padding on the blinds’ shelves so you won’t make a thump when moving around or getting ready to shoot. Your sight lines out of the blinds are all clear. Your vacation days are submitted and approved.
Meanwhile, the buck is still around, but you aren’t seeing him as often. The acorns are plentiful and everywhere. You’re ready, though, hopeful he’ll make a mistake and be in your favorite secret spot, a good distance away from your leasemates.
I’m not sure he’ll come, but I think I’m ready.

The European pheasant hunt is a great way to get lots of shooting action and watch Labradors do what they do best — retrieve birds! The mallard hunts offer a great chance to improve your skills over water while the fast-flying dove hunts offer an adrenaline rush every hunter craves.

Species from Africa, Asia, South America and Europe roam the Texas plains and thrive in the southern climate. Breeding herds of axis deer, aoudad, blackbuck antelope, sika and fallow deer
mean there are plenty of trophies to be taken.

THE BEST SOCKS, GLOVES FROM THE AMERICAN BISON
The American plains bison survives in some tough conditions, from blazing heat to -60-degree cold.
How do they do it? It’s all about the undercoat in the animals’ fur.
“Mother Nature has given them the perfect clothing to keep them comfortable year-round in all kinds of conditions,” said The Buffalo Wool Company owner Ron Miskin. “It’s because of the “down” or fine soft undercoat they grow out in winter and shed out in spring.”
Each huge bison only has 6-8 ounces of the undercoat.
“That’s all it takes to keep the bison completely comfortable,” Miskin said. “The downy fiber has a natural crimp to it that helps it trap more dead air than any other fiber. Dead air is a fantastic insulator and provides a great buffer against the cold.”
Most people have seen photos of bison completely crusted over with ice and snow, and their body heat doesn’t escape through the amazing insulation.
But what about the Texas heat, especially for those with sweaty feet?
Bison undercoat also is an ideal material when it comes to keeping your feet cool, as the fine, itch-free fibers act better than wool, keeping your feet dry.
Ron Miskin and his wife, Theresa, developed socks, gloves and much more from the bison undercoat, along with the difficult task of locating enough to produce in larger quantities, a decadelong process.
“Our supply chain brings together bison ranchers, small independent mills and local manufacturers, Miskin said. “We work with ranchers all over the U.S. to get their hair. You only get a few pair of socks off of one bison.”
It only takes a few wears to realize these are best socks and gloves made.
“Bison wool is soft enough to wrap a baby in, and tough enough to keep a mountain man warm in a blizzard,” Miskin said. “The fiber has a micron count of about 15, comparable to a good cashmere.”
Each pair is warm, lightweight and super-tough. Iditarod mushers who used to pack up to 25 pairs for the long journey, pack just five pair of Buffalo Wool socks.
“The socks wick stronger,” Miskin said. “They keep you comfortable at real cold temps, and when it’s hot, they are better than cotton socks.”
The Miskin family has been raising bison for decades, and the many styles of products, including by-products of many ranchers raising bison for meat, all come with a 100-percent guarantee, and have a greater purpose.
“We believe that by working together, we can preserve America’s national mammal,” Miskin said.
