    WTS Tactical Tailor Extended Range Operator

    Like new Tactical Tailor Extended Range Operator bag in ranger green. I've only used it a few times in a treestand and it's a little big for that. Mainly looking to sell but would be open to trades for something more treestand/whitetail friendly. $500 TYD $450 TYD $400 TYD $350 TYD

    Puffy Jackets

    I've never worn or owned one. I've only ever hunted whitetails and turkey in southern Indiana. When/where/why would I wear one instead of a different type of jacket? For years I hunted in a Filson mackinaw. Last year I switched to a FL Solitude. I understand the ability to compress and pack it...

    Looking for a Stryker XL in good condition...no rips, stains, pulled threads, etc. Prefer coyote brown but would be open to a ranger green as well.

    Washing Hunting Clothes

    Weird. I had bought some All Free and Clear last week to wash my bed sheets in because my dog has been breaking out. But mine doesn't list the fluorescent brightener

    Washing Hunting Clothes

    Thank you. I probably should have been a little more clear when I said scent concerns. I didn't mean something to control scent or eliminate it, I just meant something that wasn't scented like normal laundry detergent.

    Washing Hunting Clothes

    What do you guys like to wash your hunting clothes with? Mainly referring to clothing used for whitetail and scent concerns. I have some first lite base layers and some bibs that could use a wash.

    Ark sizing

    I break down to quarters and backstraps basically. Furthest pack out would be about 1.5 miles. It's not really the distance as much as it is the slopes. I hunt a system of ridges with deep bottoms. There is a trail that runs thru the area that is nicknamed the little Appalachia due to the...

    Ark sizing

    Eastern whitetail. It will only be for day hunting, but I hunt in hilly country, and it will be easier to pack out rather than drag. I'm thinking either a hellbender or a maniml. I'm 5'8", 185 lbs

    Ark sizing

    How do I know if I need a 22" or 25" ark frame? I can't find a size chart. I only see one for belt size.

    Ark vs Duplex, a comparison review ***Updated 5/29/24***

    I'm anxious to read the review. I don't own any of the Kifaru packs, or any framed pack for that matter. The only frame pack I've ever used is an old military surplus with an alice pack. I'd like to think the Ark is the latest and greatest, best of the best. But with nothing to compare it to, I...

    New Packs from Kifaru 2024

    So have all of the new packs been revealed at this point? I've been thinking about getting an urban ruck for EDC, but wanted to wait to see if anything new was released

    Help me update my setup

    I appreciate all of the feedback. After reading all of the responses I'm leaning towards getting a couple different sights off the classifieds to see what I like and sell whatever I don't use. For a rest I'm really considering a whisker biscuit for simplicity and price.

    Help me update my setup

    I've been shooting the same setup since about 07. It always worked for me and I never saw a reason to change anything. But part of the plastic housing on my sight is cracked and vibrates. I started looking at sights and realized a lot has changed. I'm hoping someone here can help guide me or...

    Game Bags vs Garbage Bags

    This is pretty much right in line with what I was thinking. I think it applies more to guys out west in the back country, but it will still be best practice for my situation as well. Thanks for the feedback.

    Game Bags vs Garbage Bags

    I've always hunted smaller private properties where it was easy to get a deer out, but next year I'll be on a large track of public with some very steep slopes. Quartering will likely be the easiest option. What's the pros and cons of game bags? I expect to have the meat in a cooler just a few...

    Mountain Ops Update?

    I appreciate everyone's feedback. A lot more positive than I was expecting based on older reviews.

    Mountain Ops Update?

    I was recently listening to an old Kifaru podcast, and the supplement company Mountain Ops was mentioned. I tried doing a little research and mainly find old reviews/feedback from pre-2020. Most of those reviews seem to be based largely on the image of the company and it’s marketing, and not the...

    Need help with choosing new base layer

    Another vote for FL merino. I wore the kiln top and bottom this year whitetail hunting. Only 1 season though, so I can't really comment on durability yet, but they were warm.
