    Help picking pack

    One nice thing about most of Kifaru packs is that they compress down nicely. So it's smart to order the largest pack you will need.

    Help picking pack

    I would suggest calling Kifaru, describing what type of hunting you do and ask their recomendation. I've been running the 44mag for 2 seasons now and I can't image a better pack for what I do. I had the Mountain Warrior before this which was basically a zippered duffle main bag. The 44mag has...

    Silencing Kifarus?

    I absolutely love my 44mag for backpack hunts and my 14R for day hunts. But I also love to still hunt. The bomb proof fabric that Kifaru uses is pretty noisy when walking and climbing thru brush, trees... I'm sure this applies to the other high end packs that use nylon or cordura fabrics. I...

    Obsidian Foundry Pant Feedback

    I wore the Guide Lite pants archery elk in Utah and loved them. Really lightweight and flexible. Daily temps. from 40 to 70F. During rifle elk I wore the Corrugate Guide and Obsidian Foundry pants. Daily temps. 20 - 50F. The Obsidians are warmer and quieter but are not very water...

    Semi vs Bolt Gun for Bear Country

    Most brown bear attacks are very sudden. If you are able to get a shot off it may be your only one. Shoot whatever you have and practice close range moving targets. We used to staple a piece of cardboard with a target dot to an old tire then roll the tire down a hill. It's very unlikely that...

    Best wheel gun setup for griz protection?

    I have a 6" S&W 629 and Double Tap bear loads but I feel a lot safer with my Benelli M2 12ga semi auto with short ghost ring sight barrel and 3" Brenneke black magic bear shells. It's light fast and lay down a bunch of heavy lead in a hurry. These shells have 3000 ftlbs of energy.

    Swarovski EL size?

    For still hunting in thick cover, bow hunting and stand hunting I like my EL 8x32s. The are smaller and lighter than the 42s. I can easily operate them with one hand. For medium range spotting I like the 10x42s but prefer to use them with a tripod or other rest to improve stability.

    I have nice telescoping trekking poles that I use mostly for winter hiking and backpacking heavy. I used to always pack them on hunts but hated how noisy they are clinking on rocks... One day I left them at camp and had to hike down a really steep slope in the dark. on my way back. I found a...

    🦌🦌Choosing Swarovski z6 reticle for western hunting

    I have illuminated (Z6i) and non-illuminated Z6s. For precision shooting and most hunting applications I prefer the non-illuminated. Where the illuminated ones really "shine" are stand or still hunting in low light and quick shots. My Z6i 1.7-10 is perfect for that. Note - the...
