    WTS Moonshine fly rod

    I don't know that I see much of the negative anymore but when they first showed up, they flooded the web with advertisement and folks showing them off. I think it's just the Nickelback of fly fishing scenario. It became cool to hate them. I agree about not paying attention. The web can be...

    WTS Moonshine fly rod

    Wish this had come up a week ago as I ordered the blackout drifter. Don’t understand the bad mouthing of Moonshine. They are fantastic rods and at a great price. And some of the best looking I’ve seen at any price. Good luck with sell. Someone is getting a great deal.

    Kifaru Maniml

    Anyone else get this new bag and find yourself frustrated trying to hook it to the frame? I’ve tried looking at the videos and such and it just doesn’t make sense. The buckles don’t line up with the cut outs on the Ark and if you put it where they do, the hip belt straps are diagonal and...

    Upcoming Year

    As a bonafide gear w#ore, I’d say don’t even worry about that right now. Basics in the beginning are best as you learn the animal. Decent binoculars, comfortable waterproof boots, a sharp knife, some game bags, a pack that is comfortable, and a rangefinder. If there’s some things I’d recommend...

    Ark sizing

    If you are over 5’6” I wouldn’t touch the 22.

    Elk in heavy recreational traffic areas

    I hunt an area with great elk numbers but tons of atv trails and tons of atv traffic. Not much for hikers and rarely ever run into another hunter. I’ve found through lots of trial and error that the elk and deer are staying in the timber. Every elk I’ve seen come into the meadows and openings...

    Badlands MRK6

    Just looked and there's a K2 in the classifieds on here right now for $275. It is two back in the series but still a fantastic pack and actually the one I bought the following week after I got back from the hunt above. My buddy still uses his and swears it's the best thing he's ever worn.

    Tension release for hunting Elk

    All releases can be used as a BT release. Just have to train yourself to not "pull" the trigger. I specifically switched to the Stan Onnex for this reason as I was starting to punch the trigger on my old one. I adjusted the button in a such a way that it sits in the very bottom crease of my...

    Badlands MRK6

    You can do FAR better for less. You can regularly find a used EXO or Kifaru with the last series frames (K3 for exo or Duplex Lite for Kifaru). I know some folks run Badlands, and that was my first "real" pack as well. I can tell you that there is absolutely zero comparison to a pack from those...
