    Tent or tipi question

    had a buddy that was using the 4P seek Tipi. He said it was around 20 years old and looked to be in great shape. He loves the thing and it was really roomy even with a stove.

    KUIU Summit Star 1P

    had a buddy use one and he said the condensation was an issue since it is a single wall tent. He sold it. I've got the KUIU 2P tent and love it. Spent 12 days sleeping in the tent in September in MT. No condensation issues at all. Rained for 4 strait days and I stayed completely dry...

    AZ unit 12BE.... anyone with experience?

    Find a grip of guys to help you out. Contact the AZ desert sheep society and they will find people to help you out. There are always people looking to help sheep hunters and more eyes are better when hunting sheep. I would help you but I have 2 buddies with sheep tags this year.

    Do desert sheep move all day?

    We shot a sheep in AZ about 15 years ago in December on a nice cool day. I found them about an hour after first light and proceeded to have a couple of meals on the hill while my buddy with the rifle made his way over to take a look at them. Finally made it to me a bit after lunch. The...

    Welcome to Pyro Putty

    One thing I did that helped was to stretch the material. I would make it about 1/4" wide and 2" long and really thin. Then I would wrap it to some small twigs and place that twig almost strait up. Pile a bunch of twigs and such around the putty and light it. I was really pleased at how...

    Welcome to Pyro Putty

    I used this stuff a few weeks ago and it was awesome. I think the pyro putty is great but I think the lighter is even better. I sat there with a bic and couldn't get it to light with the rain and wind. Pulled out the pyro rechargeable lighter and I was off to the races. It WILL be in my...

    Best sleeping bags for side sleeper

    I've been using the Katabatic quilt. I got a *22 flex quilt and ordered a wide. I also throw in a sea to summit thermolite reactor liner. It adds about *15 to the bag rating (I think that is a fair rating) and does help quite a bit. I really like the concept of a quilt. Took a bit to...

    Tripod height for sheep trip

    I'm not sure the height on flat ground matters that much. Have a bit longer leg is nice for when you sit on the side of a hill and need a longer leg to go down the hill. Rarely do the legs all go out the same distance. It would also be important to me that I can get my legs under the legs...

    Progress of my preparations for my Colorado sheep hunt?

    I talked to a sheep biologist that gave me some advice. "your butt should be more sore than your legs if you are hunting sheep properly. Your eyes should be tired not your legs" He knows sheep better than anyone I know and has been in sheep country since the 70's. I would look for that...

    Bear bags in sheep country

    I have a bear bag made by LITEAF. It is super light and will hold about 5 days of food. Probably not the most durable but should be LITE AS F... But you will need to find a tree. https://liteaf.com/product-category/bear-bag-kits/

    Unlimited Sheep Optics

    So I've never been sheep hunting in the unlimiteds and was trying to decide if I need a spotting scope or not........I was talking to the wildlife biologist and told him I was concerned about the weight and didn't know if I should bring a scope or not. He said "if I was worried about weight I...

    Best clothing lines for backpack sheep hunting?

    I thought the same thing. Now I can see an application for the VIAS but I don't own any. I do own a ton of the verde 2.0 and I would struggle to buy the VIAS. Camo patterns are more for the hunter than the hunted. I'm more about the technical nature of the fabric than the color...

    Best clothing lines for backpack sheep hunting?

    Bought the boxers about 3 weeks ago. Wore them at home for a few days and then did the sniff test. Wife caught me smelling my underwear and might have had a few questions. Though being a hunter she realizes I'm not all there sometimes. After the test I didn't smell much of anything and...

    Dall Sheep video, "Spirit Of A Sheep Hunter" release

    Watched the video. It is really, really long.......just like a tough hunt. I really think the length of the video gives a more accurate view of how a hunt typically happens. I think now with social media and 12 minute you tube videos everyone thinks a hunt should be done in 1 day and end...

    Best fixed blade Broadhead for elk

    I've shot elk with both a compound and recurve. I used to use the Rocky Mountain heads for years with both bows. Now I use the slick tricks with both bows. I don't know if brand is really that important. I believe that for elk the key is penetration. The bigger older bulls are really...

    Tripod Advice ?

    I have an outdoorsman medium with the smaller outdoorsman head. I went to their shop and looked at pretty much everything. The slik's might be a bit lighter but the outdoorsman tripod is more solid. I'm an ounce counter guy and I think that is worth the extra bit of weight for the added...
