    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

    Just thought I would throw my 2 cents in. Hunted all fall with this scope for bears and then elk. Took quite a bit of abuse on a backpack bear hunt. Gun tipped over a couple times while it was set down. Smacked around on my pack etc. I fell pretty good on it in the middle of a scree field and...

    First antelope hunt sheridan wy

    Adjust your expectations and spend the first few days before the season scouting whatever goats are on public land and make sure you're ready to smack one opening morning because they will high tail it to private fast.

    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

    I mean if you are shooting something with 3x power that sucker is gonna be close and you don't need to see the tiny little dot in the center of the reticle so you can decide which hair on the animal to shoot😂. I have the tenmile and for the 3x reticle which is essentially just a zoomed out cross...

    Clothing for September Elk-Back Packing in

    First, thanks for your service. Both are good. I would say the lumbar pad on the exo is "better" meaning bigger, going to disperse weight more evenly/effectively and keep the pack from sliding down your ass. Best suggestion is from @Scoot try them both and send the one back that doesn't fit. To...

    Do you come on here for "advice"?

    Do you come on here for "advice"?

    I'm sure I'm going to rustle some feathers (maybe that's the intent😂) but do people actually come on here for advice? Or do they just want to see their own thoughts/positions re confirmed? So many times I see guys asking "advice" on gear or tactics, etc... And then they don't change their mind...

    Clothing for September Elk-Back Packing in

    I had the 2200. I have a kifaru woodsman now but am looking to get a bigger bag. The mountain pants you'll be fine in. I have run those pants plenty of September's, a little warm early, but perfect, mid/later September. And @jmez is right, that pack will be fine if you only plan to kill and elk...

    Clothing for September Elk-Back Packing in

    I promise I'm not trying to be a troll or a dick, but I used to have a badlands pack. I don't anymore. I hauled a couple of mulies out of the Backcountry and that was enough for me to know I never wanted to do an elk with it. Effed my neck up for months after hauling those things out on the...

    Clothing for September Elk-Back Packing in

    My first question would be what kind of boots/pack do you have? Sounds like you have good boots, but what about pack? If you are backpacking in, and then plan to haul an elk out from whatever hell hole you shoot it in, a good pack is going to help you out waaay more than clothing. If you have a...

    Why so many Kifaru packs for sale??

    I would recommend the 44mag, Hoodlum or Reckoning. Define better? I personally will not own another pack because IMO kifaru is hands down the best for me. Most comfortable bomb proof etc. My buddy loves his exo. Besides the fact his back is completely covered and makes him sweat like a MOFO...

    Help me choose 10x42 Bins

    Kowas all day. You can find them on a steal at cameraland with their open box rates. I compared them to my buddies SLCs side by side. I liked my kowas in every way over the SLCs except for the size and weight. Other than that I thought the Kowas were just as good optically and build quality, and...

    First true mule deer hunt upcoming

    You're gonna be in shape which is really helpful, and being able to shoot is a must. But as you have gathered from others already read and learn as much as you possibly can about the species you're hunting and especially where you are hunting them. Being in great shape is an awesome start, but...

    Why so many Kifaru packs for sale??

    Yeah I would say your biggest issue is trying to run a bag that's 37" tall with the snow collar closed on a 22" frame. That ain't gonna work for an external frame pack. Get an internal frame those things can carry up to 80lbs comfortably which is more than a lot of dudes can do. Then you don't...
