    Mid-size SUV or wagon options

    I looked at them pretty hard and almost picked up a cx30. I'll agree, Mazda's fit and finish is great and they are quick, but they felt a bit cramped for me. @bigunit , if you do get a Subaru, get the 2.5 liter. They are not quick, but they will get you there.

    Mid-size SUV or wagon options

    I just picked up a Crosstrek Sport last fall. Unfortunately it came in the week after my CO deer hunt but wanted to take it badly just to try it out. Mine is mostly for commuting, but If I had the one I wanted it's be a wilderness model. I have no hangups with Subarus. My parents have an...

    Elk Hunting/ Family Camping Tent Suggestions?

    Weve got the 2nd largest Alaknak. Good tent but takes a few minutes to set up. We probably overkill for two guys but if we ever have a larger group we are set. We are early season guys so never have had a stove in it but it is set up and ready for it.

    Rifle rack

    I have the tipton vice. Not bad. Kind of cheapish, but gets the job done.

    How will 75% Tag Allocation Affect Preference Points in CO?

    "Our" unit didn't even utilize it's total nr allocation last year. A bit more than the 25% this year, but a big glut picked up tags. Kind of frees up the possibility, even with the 25% cap that we could see points drop back just a hair, requiring 1 less point for some to draw. Doubt it but...

    Anyone use Peleton or similar style bike?

    We have a nordictrack s22i and it is a decent bike, much better than the standard peloton bike. That said, I don't like it because you can only use the IFit stuff. Had I known what I know now, I would have saved a bunch of money because we later picked up a Stages SB20. Way more than I ever...

    Stan Onnex Click

    Just picked up a few weeks ago and have a couple of dozen arrows just to play with it. Ive been traveling since. Just as a normal release, the sear is really crisp, fits well in the hand and is well built and very customizable. I do like the click and am learning some of joel turner's...

    BIPODS- A busy market now!

    Used a javelin pro this season and picked up the bino harness carrier. Worked like a charm. Super steady, easy to adjust and adapt to terrain. Rock solid with little movement. only a 220 yard shot on a younger velvet buck but i was very impressed, and did well at the range too. Not saying it...

    Rack for E-bike

    1 up is the best out there and makes racks rated for ebikes. They have ramp options as well. All metal, will last a lifetime. Probably in the same price range as the QuietKat. I have a lighter duty one and it is the bomb!!! Ive been rear ended several times(stupid Okies...lol) thankfully...

    CO point holders: how have you changed your draw strategy?

    I cashed 9 deer points this year. Fun hunt. Shot a buck but wasn't worth 9. We have an elk unit that is ok and usually just costs a couple of points. We did a 7pt unit a few years ago that was only 2 or 3 when we decided to hunt it. It was fun but no better than what we normally hunt.

    Have 3D shoots gone away locally for you?

    We have a few but nothing like it was. We have a group of 3 ranges here in OK, that are combining forces this year and are putting on 5 TAC like events in oklahoma this year. It is called SHOT if you are interested. Pretty impressive list of sponsors. KUIU is going to have their mobile setup...

    Garmin Fenix

    I am still running my 5x. The HR monitor has failed but never really used it anyway and you have the option of an external. I don't charge mine often even after 5 years. When using the GPS for workouts it does have to be charged more often, but it's still way better than an apple watch...

    Seekins Rifles

    PH2. Longish story and goes back to customer service. When I ordered mine from Seekins, they were still the gray stock and natural stainless barrel. I liked the element paint at the time and like black finishes. I added the element paint and Cerakote for the entire rifle at an extra $250 for...

    Perfect pack for elk

    Yeah, I had one of the original pro series packs that had the carbon fiber stay problem. Snapped a stay during an elk hunt in CO. Pack still worked fine for the rest of the trip. Called them up when I got back and they sent me a brand new Icon Pro as they had redesigned it. Much better pack...

    Seekins Rifles

    No problems with my PH2. Great customer service too. 1/2 moa if I do my job, reasonably light for a long action and pretty good looking gun (if you care).

    Daypack: Kuiu Venture divide 3000 vs Sitka Mountain 2700

    The spotter and tripod actually fit between the main compartment and the outer one, thus the "divide" I'ts pretty big, I run a 3 liter bladder, although not always full and stuff all my layers in the main. I can't speak to your loadout but I had plenty of room. Please note that I used this...

    What Rear Bag for in Field Shooting?

    I'd like to try a bag at some point, but at this point my fist or my forearm draped over my other arm. I'm only comfortable out to about 500 at this point.

    Daypack: Kuiu Venture divide 3000 vs Sitka Mountain 2700

    I used the 2000 for some scouting prior to the season. The divide pocket is awesome, not having to take the tripod/spotter apart. It has a lot of room. I have not used it extensively other than the scouting trip and a couple of TAC events but I use it as an overnight/computer bag for work too...

    Chronographs

    I have the same. It's fine for the few times a year I set up new loads. As cool as they are, I don't use one enough to justify $600. FWIW, Garmin seems to be pretty good about serving a lot of markets. They are a midwestern company so that helps on the outdoor front IMO. That said I just...
