My two cents with the understanding that on solo sheep hunts, I prioritize going as light as reasonably possible over comfort.
1. Gun bearer: I chose the SG Quick Release Sling but I only hear people talk about the Kifaru. Is it worth switching?
I've been quite happy with the gun bearer and...
Kimber isn't making the Adirondack anymore unfortunately. I wanted one and spent a long time looking about a year ago and finally gave up and went with another Mtn. Ascent. Used market will be the only option and they don't seem to pop up very often.
Super legit hunt, especially for a couple of warm weather dudes from Hawaii. Despite the easy living climate down there, Hawaii kicks out some certified badasses.
I sent that video to my BIL who lives in Hawaii and who is just getting into bow hunting for Axis down there. Judging by the...
Congrats on 590. I've been applying for that tag for 15+ years now and have yet to draw it despite all sorts of friends and family drawing it all around me.
Fly with Mike Meekins if you can.
He is the most experienced pilot in that area by far and will know where the caribou are and where...
Many (most) tripods work with quick release plates/adapters. I mounted a QR plate on a shooting V rest to be able to quickly swap between the rest and my optic of choice on the tripod. It works with spotting scopes, bino adapters, iPhone selfie holders etc. anything that is compatible with...
I think another hang up that is often encountered in supporting specific causes is that many fish and game agencies can't direct donated funds to a specific cause. The agencies, for the most part, can take the money, but they can't guarantee that WSF funds go to and only to sheep for example...
I've used wood glue with a handful of sheep skulls with good results. It is water soluble so if you need to remove the horns in the future for repairs, cleaning, etc. that can be accomplished. I've had a couple of the skulls knocked around pretty good and the wood glue has held just fine...
This.
Is anyone using the new Swaro ATC 17-40x56? At 34.2oz it is pretty svelte compared to most others in that mag range. I sure wish they made it compatible with the 60x eye piece though.
Apologies. I did speak pretty generally and cast a pretty wide net with my comment.
That having been said, not every single organization is as transparent as the Idaho Wild Sheep example posted above. Several "conservation" groups that claim to work on behalf of Alaska fish and wildlife put...
Who makes that bumper? I really like the look and low profile.
Most of the aftermarket Tundra bumper are big and bulky and not very aesthetically pleasing.
Check out the new Grand Highlanders. We just ordered a hybrid GH after ridding ourselves of the curse that was the Audi Q7. Stay away from anything Audi makes unless you enjoy throwing large sums of money away and having your car in the shop for months at a time. What a nightmare that was.
