    Origin Jeans

    They are a little fitted but not bad on me. I don’t feel like I’m in a pair of tights.

    Origin Jeans

    I got 2 pairs for Christmas and love them. I have bigger quads and have always struggled finding good pants. These fit perfectly. I would highly recommend them!

    Upgrade from Exodus to Iron Will??

    Hello to all, I am currently using QAD Exodus 100 grain broadheads and am wondering if I should upgrade to some Iron Will broadheads. Looking at either the SB normal or SB wide. I’ve never been let down by the exodus, but I like the fact that the IWs are reusable and can be resharpened. I know...

    Sitka heavy weight bottom or merino??

    Just wondering what is better between the Sitka heavy bottom base layer or Sitka heavy merino bottom base layer? I will be using it for whitetail hunting and trout fishing. I don’t expect walking very far to the tree stand. I have some Kuiu merino zip offs but wanted something a little...

    Illinois Deer Archery Tag Help!

    I hope I put this post in the correct place. So I purchased my OTC non-resident archery deer tag for Illinois back in August but have not received the tag in the mail from Illinois DNR. I've called but their offices are closed because of COVID. I have the license and receipt but not the actual...

    Deer Hunting Jacket for Illinois

    Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it! I am seriously looking at the First Lite Sanctuary jacket and bibs. I think the Fanatic jacket and bibs would cost too much for me at this current time. I know I am not comparing apples to apples but what would be better, the Sitka...

    Deer Hunting Jacket for Illinois

    I am in need of some wisdom. I went bow hunting in Illinois last year and froze. I wore Kuiu merino wool base layer 125, Kuiu merino 145 zip, Sitka Fanatic hoody, Arcteryx Cerium, and Kuiu Guide Jacket. I wore back warmers while hunting too. The temps were between 40-20 degrees and it was...

    Sitka Stormfront Pants

    I’m looking at buying a pair of Sitka Stormfront or Cloudburst pants on sale. I have two wild speculations. The first speculation is that Sitka will update their rain jackets and pants next year since they are all on sale. The second is that they are going to start making the updated rain...

    Sitka Clothing for Southern Illinois

    I’m planning on hunting around Carmi on private land. I’ve got some other hunting clothing that could work if it’s warmer. I just don’t have anything that would be good if it gets below 40 degrees. Thanks for the information and I will just have to be ready for anything.

    Sitka Clothing for Southern Illinois

    I've think I have decided on the fanatic jacket. I am worried about the wind and it getting extremely cold while in Illinois. From all that I have read, I can wear the fanatic jacket from 45 degrees down to 0(or lower). I have a few other articles of clothing that I can wear if it is warmer...

    Sitka Clothing for Southern Illinois

    Thank you very much for responding. I looked up historical temperatures for southern Illinois and as you said they are all over the place for late October/November. Just need to figure out what will work best with the stratus jacket and finatic vest vs the fanatic jacket.

    Sitka Clothing for Southern Illinois

    I am planning on going deer hunting in Southern Illinois next year during late October/November. I am currently looking at purchasing either the Stratus Jacket and the Fanatic Vest, or the Fanatic Jacket. I am not totally sure what the weather might be like during late October/November so that...
