    First Lite 2024 Western Offerings

    Also, with the Challis, how does FL make this fleece wind proof? Is there a windproof layer between the inner, and outer layers of fleece? Or is it just the tightness of the weave pattern? I'm definitely a sweater when I'm walking through the woods. I know that there's the tricep vents to dump...

    First Lite 2024 Western Offerings

    Any update on this? The Flashstorm seems like an awesome option for packable rain gear, especially at the price point compared to the other FL rain gear. IF, it keeps you dry for an extended period of time. Nothing worse than water eventually seeping through to under layers. The past few years...

    One item you wish you carried sooner?

    Electronic noise amplifying earmuffs, with loud noise cutout. The noise amplifying part can get a little annoying after a while on a windy day, but they are sure nice when it's a calm day, to hear a little better (I have bad hearing). Not to mention, having the hearing protection for when you...

    Fishing lodge Northern Minnesota

    Pine Point Lodge, on Crane Lake. I've been there multiple times, and it's great! Good fishing for Walleye, Sauger, Pike, Muskie, Bass... They rent out nice boats, have bait, they have cabins, or a small "strip motel" with 5 or 6 rooms to choose from. Definitely recommend. There's also the...

    Lets talk fishing rods

    I love my Shimano Sahara 2500 spinning reels. I've had probably 4 or 5 over the years, and they seem to be a pretty good all-round reel from bass, to pike, to walleye, to crappie.

    Looking for a new rifle - Recommendations

    My Tikka T3x in .308 is definitely my favorite go-to hunting rifle. Sub moa out of the box with factory loads (at least the ones I've tried). The wood stock is good as far as function and comfort, but fairly basic as far as "looks" go. The only gripe I have about the rifle, is that the bluing...

    Which Danners are the best?

    I've owned Danner Pronghorns (400g, and non-insulated), and also the Danner Vitals (non-insulated). I really enjoy them both. The pronghorns seem to be a more durable boot, being made of leather, and they're also plenty comfortable. The Vitals are lightweight, and almost feel like wearing a high...

    Boots for treestand hunting

    I mostly wear my Lacrosse Alphaburly 1600g rubber boots. But, with that being said, if your feet sweat on your walk in, you might as well wear tennis shoes, because they'll be just as warm if you hunt in cold weather like I do. That's the one thing that I don't like about wearing my rubber...

    243 for Antelope

    When I was looking to find which calibers were good for Antelope a few years ago, I read from multiple sources that the .243 was one of the go-to cartridges for Antelope in the past. Kind of how the 30-30 is/was one of the go-to cartridges for whitetail in northern Minnesota.

    New guy from MN

    Hey everyone, New member here, from Minnesota. As far as big game goes, I've whitetail hunted since I was a kid, and went on my first Antelope trip to Wyoming last year. I've grouse hunted, and rabbit hunted my whole life as well, and am a big fan of year-round fishing in Minnesota. Now I've...
