    Need recommendation for Sz. 14 Wide

    I got the Schnee beartooth in the insulated and uninsulated versions and they have a lot more room than the renegades. They are a higher boot, which I wanted but I do like the lower cut of the renegades for light hiking which is about all that boot is good for.

    Wilderness vs front country

    I feel like the amount of ground I can cover in non-wilderness areas leads to seeing more animals. I can night bugle a drainage from the road and if I don't like the area just drive elsewhere. If I pack in, I am going to be limited. I see plenty of animals in wilderness areas, but it has taken...

    One pack

    I like the mystery ranch system of being able to change bags. I have the sawtooth/beartooth combo and it covers most everything I need. But I will say owning multiple packs is kind of nice, I like to use my old Dwight Schuh sometimes.

    Anybody ever hunt with a slow arse bow?

    that like 100mph.... pretty dang fast. If you like your set up and shoot it well, the speed doesn't matter but I am sure there are others who feel differently.

    Oregon/Washington coast fishing late summer/early fall

    Buoy-10 is the big draw that time of year at the mouth of the Columbia river. Drake Radditz guide service is local out of the Hammond area and does a great job. Not sure if he does 2 person groups but he has a website, if not there are a lot of options for that fishery.

    Alternative to Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants

    Just got back from a bike ride and the wranglers were dirty so put on the costco pants. For $15 they are great. No thigh pockets but nice stretchy hiking pant. Good deal for sure.

    Angled vs Straight

    I'm usually sitting if I am glassing and like an angled scope, just more comfortable and it's lower than my chin usually so I can pull the binos out without the scope being in my way. they certainly don't seem to work as well for truck window mounted viewing though in my experience.

    Dalton Hwy specific question

    Do you mean like down the road back to your truck? I usually stop if I see a guy walking and see if he needs a ride if there isn't a truck in view, I don't think I've ever had someone not stop to talk if I was hiking down the road, but I usually go in early august since it seems a little calmer...

    Hoping to get some suggestions on the type/specs on what kind of pedal bike to buy for hunting?

    I have a giant talon 29 and it's been great, nice and light and gets me where I need to go. Not many places I go that hiking isn't a better option, but on power line trails and the like it's sure nice to chew up miles quickly.

    Fly fishing

    I have a 4 piece 2wt that I like for hiking with. lightweight and plenty of rod for most of the lakes or small streams I hike to.

    Deschutes Sheep Hunt

    Haven't been there in years, but I remember the lower river used to have certain days you were allowed to run a jet boat. I'd look into that and see if it is still the same. I have hiked in many times from the mouth for steelhead fishing. It only took once hiking in and then having a guide boat...

    Humbled

    Couple years ago I was hunting caribou with my daughter, had a bull come over an embankment at about 40 feet from us. Not sure why I did it but in the process of calming myself down for the shot and the 40 foot distance stuck in my head, i started counting my pins 10, 20, 30, 40, set, release...

    Camp Location

    I don't like camping in the drainage I plan to hunt, so backside and down from ridge would be where I would be. I don't see the issue being close to water but I do have a few spots that I have to fill up before I hike back to camp for the evening because my spot dictates that.

    Kings camo xkg paramount rain jacket

    I received my order yesterday, not disappointed. Xl pants L jacket, 6'4 200lbs and while I prefer my jackets to be LT, this fits pretty well and room to put pants over whatever I am wearing at the time.

    Nightforce sponsors MuleyFreak

    this thread has been an adventure, had to take a 30 page detour on the SO thread, and now we got money on going 20 pages...just adding to the total.

    Management vs. Trades and Labor questions

    no idea how the change would work for you, but I would check your union contract to make sure you don't affect your time in by making the switch. Not sure it applies to you, but it's worth looking into.

    Haul Road gear exchange?

    I met some guys a year or two ago who had a bunch of chairs, fuel, and whatnot they bought and didn't intend on taking home, I didn't need them but figured taking them was better than having them thrown into the firepit or just left as garbage which unfortunately happens more than it should. I...
