    Exo Mountain Gear pack

    I was deciding the same question for myself a while ago. I went with the 4800 since I will end up using it for some colder weather hunts too and the extra size will probably be nice to stuff more bulky jacket and bibs into for late season whitetail hunting. I have used it for 2-3 day hunts and...

    How did you introduce your kids to hunting?

    early and often.....and make sure it is just as much about them as it is about your hunt. I started my 2 boys young with hiking, camping, fishing. They hid (ate snacks and played on my phone) in a ground blind goose hunting when they were under 5. They come everywhere with me. I still do some...

    Adventure and relaxation. . . I need vacation ideas!

    You are on the right track. Kenai Fjords cruise, walking on a glacier, fishing of some sort, and bear viewing are can't miss things. I would also add in finding mountain goats, moose, dall sheep, whales, etc...... but not everyone adds those. I did the cruise quite a few years ago and from what...

    How much do you all actually hunt?

    You don't hunt too much and don't even bother comparing how much you hunt to others. Too many variables for a good measurement including financial well-being, where you live, how far you have to travel to hunt, how much are you home vs. away for work, how many kids, what age the kids are, how...

    Help with Yellowstone and Glacier vacation.

    Fly fishing on a river in Yellowstone with elk and buffalo in the background makes for some pretty memorable times. I fished the firehole in early June one year and had a blast while keeping a good distance from the herd of buffalo coming to the river and also the bull elk wandering around...

    June vacation ideas

    I have done several 2 week long trips with my family starting when my youngest was 4. We have managed to hit all of the lower 48 states over the course of our adventures and they have all been in the summer - my wife is a teacher so it works for us. Don't worry about June being too hot - I was...

    Is a mouth call enough?

    Each year I find myself using a slate less and less. I have never owned a box call and never wished I had one with. There are times when I can't seem to get a response and maybe a box call would get one but I just keep moving and calling and eventually find birds to respond. I carry 3 mouth...

    End of June Minnesota trip

    It's interesting seeing everyone's comments here. I live up North so my perspective is from 4+ hours north of Burnsville. Minnetonka is a good fishing lake and it is really busy with pleasure boats too. If you are looking for a day of fishing in a setting that doesn't include wake boats...

    Hi there

    I stumbled onto this site a couple years ago searching for info about elk hunting. I have been hunting, fishing, camping, pretty much anything outdoors my entire life. I never really had the desire to go spend my time learning the ins and outs of the elk hunting game for myself. I've been on a...

    MR PopUp 28

    I used a 2020 model 28 on several day trips and one 3 day trip. 3 day trip was early season, no rain in the forecast and was warm. I put a few things (tent, pad, and sleeping bag) on the load shelf to haul them in and out. I used the pack while hunting every day and loved it. I learned that I...

    MR PopUp 28

    I strapped a bow to the back of mine on an elk hunt. I used sportsmans rubber wire ties through holes in the riser below and above the grip. I attached it directly to the back of the pack using the small loops. It worked well except as said earlier - be careful taking it off and setting the pack...
