    Rain Gear layer

    This is my personal observation and it may or may not reflect everyone's reality. If you are from the Lower 49, you put rain gear over your entire clothing ensemble. If you are from AK, you put rain gear over your base layers (if needed for warmth) or just over your boxers (or commando) and...

    6.5 PRC Lightweight Backcountry Rifle

    Look at this and take it a grain of salt: https://backfire.tv/recoil/ We're all different on felt recoil. Some dainty ladies are fine with shoulder artillery while some of the manliest of men can barely handle a 30-06.

    Hunting in Griz Country— handgun or bear spray?

    Likely to not matter if you rely upon a rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver, bear spray, RPG, machete, BJJ, cattle prod, Taco Bell aftershocks, etc. to stop a threat if you do not practice bringing it into action, on target and getting a highly accurate "shot" in a few seconds or less.

    Next step from a Razor 65mm?

    Legacy ATS 65 isn't necessarily any better than a Kowa 55x. This is based solely upon a guide's STS and my 554 on Kodiak looking at bear, goat, deer, etc at various distances under varying light. Now the rumor of the "better" glass in the newer STS could change the equation.

    Valid point but that was the initial message you conveyed (based upon my interpretation).

    Necessary optics for Mule Deer hunt NE Wyoming?

    If this is a one time deal, just rent better optics. You'll have a much better idea of what you personally need after your mule deer hunt. No matter what, I'd still buy a budget friendly tripod, head and adapter for your Diamondbacks. Go learn to glass. Use local parks, trails, etc. Practice...

    Arizona OTC for Nonresident

    Here are some "not go great" parts of being a resident in AZ: * Can wait a decade or more while putting in for Goulds turkey every spring and buying a BP every fall before drawing a tag. * Can go a lifetime and never draw a tag for bison. * Can go a lifetime and never draw a tag for desert...

    3-5 night pack

    The standard for 3-5 night is 50-80 liters which roughly translates to 3000-5000 cubic inches. But individual needs, temperature, water availability, etc all come into play.

    How many of you dolts are going to get triggered if you see a huntress wearing hunter pink out in the field? Folks need to get professional help.

    Kuiu opens brick and mortar store in….

    The Beretta Gallery has been the for quite some time as well. Nice place to visit and it is awesome looking at shotguns that are truly pieces of art. Where else can you go and fondle a $125K+ shotgun? Guess they too missed the WKR Guest Lecturer Series on how to run a successful business.

    Kuiu opens brick and mortar store in….

    Put a store in a heavy population center with a decent hunting culture? Or put a store in the middle of BFE? So when are you world-class business leaders going to be doing guest lectures at the nation's top business schools?

    Article - Impact of introduced wolves on elk/deer (CPW)

    This is for the all knowing folks... Why now are the elk and deer going to be eliminated from the face of this Earth by wolves and not at anytime in the past tens of thousands of years?

    UPS Strike

    Considering UPS handles 6% of the US GDP, you better believe that their costs have both a direct and indirect impact on "society". They ship daily over 20.7 million packages in the US and over 24 million across the globe. When you factor in their pension costs, legacy/current/future, how UPS...

    Federal land and State animals

    So using some folks' logic.... Option 1 Since my tax dollars were used directly or indirectly to benefit all of your legal-aged biological females, I therefore should have regular free-use access to all of them (at least the ones I want) no matter whose house they live in. They better like...

    considering a last minute optics change

    Take the 10s, spotter, and tripod/head of your choice. The only time I've felt it necessary to have 15s on a sheep hunt was for a friend's desert bighorn in AZ.

    Have you ever gone too light?

    With all of the gram counters, I am honestly surprised no one has ever gone too light on TP. Not just on quality but also on ply and thickness.
