For saddle hunting I've preferred the XL. I've attached the platform bag/pouch on the molle of the XL and it has been easier for me to load items in. Pouches on the back also allow easier access to some items while hanging from the saddle. I still enjoy the 2200 when I want a more compact set-up...
Definitely will look that up. Wind River sounds like a fun hike.
Fitness wise our group has done 45 miles in two days with 20,000 ft of elevation change so we can almost do any trail.
Yeah we were looking at Glacier National and doing the Wonderland Trail around Rainier. Both require permits. Just want to get plans B, C, D in order in the very likely case we don't draw.
My friends and I are looking to get permits for some multi-day hiking trips out west. Anyone have recommendations for places in case that doesn't pan out? Our favorite so far has been the great Sawtooth wilderness loop. Minimum of 3 days max of 7 is the type of trip we are looking for. TIA.
Would love to shoot whitetail if I lived closer. Its free for me to do it in Indiana though. I get it that you want to protect the resource and google doesn't immediately pull up that this is the case. I've been going to Colorado for 5 years for elk already so just looking for a change of pace...
I mean I don't know what I don't know. The purpose of this post was to maybe strike up a conversation and learn something especially since I have zero experience with it. Some of us just want to see another part of the country and don't know what's "wrong" with your state. If mule deer are...
Appreciate the insight. The two guys I'm going with haven't either killed a buck or anything bigger than a spike so I'm sure they would be tickled with anything. Focus is driven on them having a good experience and it helps if I don't have to be in grizzly territory. What would you say is the...
When do you draw the line of having too many packs? Sure you've got one for EDC, tree stand hunting, backpack hunting, day hunting, camera bag... maybe I'm missing some. Maybe some people like options.
Looking at applying for a general tag for mule deer with some friends coming from the midwest this fall. Not trophy hunting but looking for opportunity, is it better to hunt the east or west side of Montana. Does elevation factor much in to where they hang out? Just trying to get an idea of...
Help my friends get their first turkey or whitetail
Run a half-marathon
Safe and fun trip with friends out west chasing either elk or mule deer
