White Bear Cubs in Eastern BC

I hope the citizens of Elkford appreciate the rarity of having to white bear cubs around their town. I hope they work together on keeping the garbage and food out of the way so the bears stay outside the city limits. It would be a shame to have to destroy these rare bears.: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/11/01/bc-white-bears-nuisance.html

Spotting Scope Clearance Sale

Spotting scope clearance sale:

Camera Land’s Fall Clearence Sale – Part 2

I announced this sale the other day with Part 1 (Riflescopes and Binoculars) and now it is time to continue with Spotting Scopes, Cameras and Tripods. Once I get thru this I will post Part 3 which will be a list of last of items (stuff we’ve got 1 left of at very reduced prices)

The prices posted here are for members of the forum who, thru the years, have supported us. If the price on our web site is higher than what is posted here you can do do one of two things:
1) Place the order on our site and in the note area type "Camera Land’s Fall Clearence Sale" and we will issue a refund back to your payment method down to these special prices
2) Call in your order to us at the store @ 212-753-5128

When it comes to spotting scopes there are many things to consider. Mainly, what are you using it for? The Range? The Field? Birding? Hunting? Digiscoping?
The other questions to ask are…
Is color resolution as important as stronger magnification?
Will you want interchangable eyepieces?
Do you want something there is a reticle eyepiece available for?
All valid considerations.

Cameraland NY
In a great quality, general use spotter we have some, same as new condition, show samples of the Minox MD 62 Straight (Part#62210) w/ 20-45x Zoom Eyepiece which sell for $848.00 new that we are offering for only $349.99

If a higher quality spotting scope is what you’d like and you would like to pay for an average quality one then grab one of these show sample Minox MD 62 ED Angled (Part#62213) with 20-45x Zoom Eyepiece @ 50% off of the $1098.00 it usually sells for. Only $549.99 while supply lasts. The ED offers richer color resolution and a high quality image.

In something smaller and handier, that you can always take with you, we have, as new, open box show samples of the:

#62226 MD-50 Straight Spotting Scope @ $189.99 reduced from $299.99

#62225 MD-50 Angled Spotting Scope @ $189.99 reduced from $299.99

The #62225 MD-50 Spotting Scope is small enough to carry in the water bottle holder on your pack. It is a great "Take everywhere" spotter.

With something this small and handy you may wish to use it with the Stedi-Stock Camera & Sport optic Shoulder Brace. This will help you hold a spotting scope stable without the weight of a tripod.

If a high end spotter is what you’re looking for with Digiscope quality featuring high color resolution as well as interchangable eyepieces then the Pentax PF80-ED Straight is one that you should consider. The PENTAX PF-80ED features extra low dispersion glass elements, a large 80 mm objective lens, and a nitrogen filled (JIS Class 6) waterproof body for the perfect blend of durability and outstanding image quality even under the most demanding conditions.
We have a package on this that includes:
* Pentax PF80-ED – The Straight Spotting Scope
* Pentax SMC 20-60x Zoom Zoom Eyepiece
* Promaster SHD Tripod
* Tripod Case
* Nikon Window Mount
* Lens Care Kit
This package goes for over $1400.00, but during this clearance it is only $1099.99 – Limited Quantity

In a Vortex the news is the 4 units that are new for 2011:
* Vortex Viper 15-45×65 Spotter available in Straight or Angled @ $449.99
* Vortex Viper 20-60×80 Spotter available in Straight or Angled for $699.99
* Vortex Viper HD 15-45×65 Spotter available in Straight or Angled for $549.99, only $100.00 more than the Non-HD version.

In their top of the line, with interchangable eyepieces is their Vortex Razor HD 20-60×85 Spotter available in Straight or Angled. This scope has an optional HD 30X Wide Angle Eyepiece as well as the HD 30X R/T Tactical Eyepiece.
The wide-angle nature of the Razor 30x eyepiece reveals a field of view that is wider than what you would see at 30x through the 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The fixed-power design also provides slightly better resolution than the zoom eyepiece. Vortex’s unique R/T ranging reticle provides precise target range estimation.

You can turn any point & shoot camera into a Digiscoping camera with your spotting scope by using the Nikon Universal Mounting Bracket (Part#6926). Universal Mounting Bracket (allows use of camcorders, digital camcorders, digital cameras, 35mm cameras with spotting and field scopes). This is usually $199.99, however, if you want to add one to your spotting scope purchase we will offer it for only $99.99.

I saw this deal come through the wire today on the Vortex Viper Scope which people speak highly of:

Camera Land has a SUPER SPECIAL on the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44mm Plex Riflescope Only $259.99

Cameraland NY
We just received a new shipment of these scopes. They stopped making this scope at the end of last year, however, they were so popular we asked Vortex to make more for us at a price that would make our clients happy. At $259.99, IMO, there is not a scope out there to compete with this value.

Effortlessly shrugging off recoil, moisture and darkness! The Viper’s status as a premium riflescope won’t be as easy to shake. Discover a riflescope with incredible performance features like premium, fully multi-coated optics with 95 percent light transmission, heavy duty Precision Force spring systems and the glass smooth Precision Glide erector system—delivering all this and more at a price that should have pulled a few more hundreds from your wallet than it did.

Cultus Lake Bear Killed

So this makes 167 bears killed because of attacks, conflicts, or threats this year in BC. 163 black bears and 4 grizzly bears. I hope anti-hunters and animal activists see that if there is no hunting, the animal population loses its fear of man and will continue to have these conflicts. Bear hunting in BC has declined and is not keeping up to the population increase of bears. People who disagree with hunting bears need to give their head a shake and realize that they live in a house that obstructs wildlife habitat and therefore causes conflict.

Sage Grouse Declining

Too bad the numbers of the sage grouse have decreased by 98%. Their mating rituals sound unique; being able to inflate their chest  sacs with 5 litres of air is incredible. Apperantley the sage grouse do not go within 2 kms of any unnatural disturbance.
