DOCUMENTING WILDLIFE IS THE JOB
At St. James Sporting Properties, documenting wildlife isn’t just part of the process—it’s the foundation of how we do business. Wildlife is the heartbeat of any sporting property, and capturing it accurately is how we help clients understand a property’s true potential. We’ve built our reputation on it.
Our team brings years of field experience—glassing ridgelines, reading sign, and understanding how animals use the land. That knowledge shapes the tools we rely on: top-tier trail cameras, professional camera gear with long-range lenses, and the instincts to be in the right place at the right time.
But not every moment happens when the camera is ready. Trail cams take time. Big lenses don’t always make it on a hike. Some of the best wildlife encounters happen fast—and when they do, your glass is what’s closest: on your chest rig or sitting next to you in the side-by-side—ready to go.
We don’t add tools to our system unless they’ve earned a place. The Ollin Snapshot System and SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX Pro Binoculars have proven themselves again and again in real-world conditions. That’s why we partner with brands that lead with innovation, quality, and function—because our work demands it, and our clients deserve it.
Whether we’re scouting a new listing or showing a property to a client, these tools help us tell the story of the land—quickly, clearly, and naturally. And when buyers can see the wildlife for themselves—through a phone screen or stabilized glass—it creates a connection that static photos can’t match.
Because in the end, wildlife isn’t just part of the story—it is the story.
OLLIN SNAPSHOT
Built for the Moment
We’ve tested a lot of phone-to-glass adapters over the years. Most were clunky, slow, and too delicate for real fieldwork. The Ollin Snapshot System changed that. It’s fast, tough, and built for how we actually use gear—on the move, in the elements, and without a do-over.
Blayne St. James, Owner/Broker:
“The Ollin system completely changed how I share wildlife with clients. I was on a property tour when I spotted turkeys in the distance. I snapped my phone onto my stabilized binos and handed it over. They saw it instantly—no pointing, no guessing. Just clean, immediate connection. Brilliant setup.”
With Ollin, your phone and optics come together in seconds. No clamps. No fiddling. Just snap and shoot. It’s now one of our most-used tools for property tours, scouting trips, and anytime we need to capture wildlife in the moment.
And because it works with both binoculars and spotting scopes, it adapts to whatever the field demands.

SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX PRO
Stabilized Glass That Changes the Game
When your day is spent behind glass, stability isn’t optional—it’s everything. The SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX PRO binoculars use electronic image stabilization to deliver a locked-in, shake-free view. No tripod. No perfect rest. Just crisp, steady glass, even at long distances.
Kevan Miller, Broker:
“I’ll never forget spotting a bedded caribou two miles out in Newfoundland. My hunting partner couldn’t see it—wind was shaking everything. I handed him my ZULU6s, hit the stabilization, and he found it instantly. That’s when it clicked—this glass changes the game.”
Most of the time, you’re glassing on the move—hiking a ridgeline, leaning on a fence post, riding in the side-by-side. It’s rarely a perfect setup. The ZULU6s fix that. A quick press of a button stabilizes the image and keeps you locked on target.
Pair them with the Ollin system, and you’ve got smooth, shake-free video—even handheld, even in motion.
What Makes ZULU6 Different
- Omni-Stabilization™: Built-in electronic stabilization for rock-solid viewing
- HDX Optical System: High-definition clarity and low-light performance
- Rugged Construction: Waterproof, fog-proof, and field-proven
- Tripod-Free Design: Lightweight and made for mobility
We’ve used top-tier optics for years—but the Sig Sauer ZULU6 raised the bar. It lets us see more, react faster, and deliver better results in the moments that matter.

Tools That Match the Mission
At St. James Sporting Properties, we’ve built our business around land, habitat, and wildlife—and helping buyers see the whole picture. That means more than showing acreage. It means being able to say, “Here’s where the elk bed. Here’s where the mule deer feed. And here’s proof.”
That kind of insight takes time, experience, and the right tools. The Ollin Snapshot System and SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX PRO binoculars don’t just make our jobs easier—they make our results better.
We align with brands that are built for the field, because that’s where we work. And when you’re in the business of premium hunting properties, you don’t get second chances. You need gear that performs—every time!
Because when the tools disappear and the moment takes over, that’s when buyers feel it. That’s when they know the land is special. And that’s when the story truly comes alive.
