That’s the absolute worst time to find bears in cali. Every year I focus on deer since you have all year for bear (thinking I’ll get one later) and by Nov all the bears Iv seen both high and low are MIA. The best time is EARLY archery both high and low elevation and everywhere inbetween. I...
Iv found all Hanwag to fit narrow.. the Makra is not SUPER narrow like some of their other boots,,, but still consider them slightly narrower than most US boots
Oh they’ll be right in there with Lions soon.,, Out of control and paying millions a year to have them controlled... **** this state.. Kinda like voting for President I don’t even believe we can make a difference.,, Sadly “THEY” are just guna do whatever they want
Salomon are all over the map... never seen boots from the same company fit SO completely different.. the GTX vs the mids or shortys are Over a FULL SIZE difference... very comfy boots.,, NOT SO durable to say the least...
Thanks for the replies,, yeah I’ve heard the same about the bigger bag bein slightly colder... if it was actually cold that night I’d deal with it and give the bag another try,, but with 2 layers and thick socks I shouldn’t be cold at 40 degrees in a 20 degree bag.. back to REI that things goin
Picked up a NEMO Forte 20 men’s long last week as a backup / truck camping bag... I’m 6’ and it felt like it was a good length,, as most regular bags are snug and I feel crammed... on a beautiful 40 degree night with no wind I woke up with COLD COLD feet and could not go back to sleep... had a...
Awww man that’s a bummer... yeah Iv def has good and bad months with OnX... Lately it seems to take longer and longer to get the map to “find you” when you push the button.. real annoying when ur tryin to drop a pin. Might have to give this Gaia a chance...
My OnX has been acting up BIG TIME since they added the 3D... I can’t even use the 3D without my phone freezing up.. Could possibly be Verizon just bending me over since a newer IPhone is available .,, love how phones just start acting up when the new ones come out .,, That shit is NOT...
I was sorta in the same boat.. sold my 10 and 15 SLC for the new 12x42 NL PURE.,, they are the shit.. period.. those + BTX95 is all I will ever carry most likely now
I bought the 554 based on how highly it was spoke of on this site... I was mind blown that people were claiming it equal to their SwaRO 65 spotters ., some even said they sold their 65 SwaRO to keep this 554... I really couldnt have been more disappointed with that thing. The FOV is absolutely...
16 days for 2 bucks spotter is NOT good.. you need to cover More ground.. FIND EM.. no matter what unit or even what state,,, 2 bucks a DAY should be the minimum average... Don't be afraid to EAT SHIT!!! those who cling to the tiny half ass bit of success they’ve had or stay on the spots where...
All I know is every time I bring a rifle lookin for bear in Nov or Dec,,, I run into big Chukar covies and can’t do anything about it 😣
Don’t see many bears this time of year,, tho I caught one on cam 2 weeks ago about 30 min b4 dark..first bear that’s put his face in the cam and not ATE it..
Thanks ! yeah Iv been surprised how many deer you see in Az even when just hiking 30 min or so up a little knob. “Getting away” def doesn’t seem like the name of the game in that state for some reason!
I just bought a 6900 and only have a handful of day hikes with it,, love it so far! We shall see if it hauls an animal out as good as my Kifaru,,, but the layout and comfort so far with 30-50# is awesome. That X curve frame is a winner for sure..
I haven’t hunted that unit,,, but if you just want stalks and experience,, and aren’t super picky,,,IMO you’d be better off truck camping and doin very short hikes to different vantages off dirt roads.. you are a lot more likely to MISS completely on a long hike in backpack type trip with no...
