    Zenbivy Sizes

    6' and 215. XL and a 25" pad. For late fall and winter hunts I have a full down sheet and for warmer hunts I use a non-insulated half sheet.

    Bottom of feet burning

    Nobody has mentioned this- but my belief is it is the early stages of athlete feet. I have super sweaty feet and can wear my boots with no issues, then sometimes I get the same burning sensation everyone here has mentioned. I use gold blue powder in my boot to help with moisture. I spray my...

    Would you buy this scope?

    4-12 or 4-16 preferred. Dialing capability past 600 preferred. Looked over most responses on all 10 pages, I may be the minority but after buying a SWFA, Trijicon and Razor (model not tested by Form). I 100% want “good glass”. The glass in the SWFA was so inferior and at 100 yards the heat...

    Ark versus K4. Who do you got?

    I don’t have the ARK- but did have every kifaru pack before and still have the DL in both sizes. I have also ran the EXO in every generation including the K4 now. They are different style frames with the kifaru historically being more stiff then EXO frames. My main comment would be that the...

    Exo k4 question - spotter and bipod

    I have not tried it, but if the inside is stuffed with non-hard material and you use a 50mm spotter than I will say yes. If its stuff with firm hard material it could be a challenge. anything larger then a 50mm may be a challenge. Using the outside water bottle holder pocket is not problem for...

    Aloha from this FNGirl!

    Aloha- I love Molokai! How did you settle on that island- it’s not the friendliest to the haole. Great hunting and fishing on the island- excellent way to really get your feet wet with opportunities and hunting experiences.

    Congrats to you and your buddy … kids are great! I believe A zone rifle opens Saturday with the rifle opener. Bears are few in the area I am in- but if I see one I have a tag.

    Bucks over 30"

    Awesome bucks and sounds like you have more data than the average and even seasoned hunter. What are your thoughts on why the "big" bucks are harder to find? (I believe it to be a combination of things, but curious your thoughts with the great data you have)

    Amazon Bino Adapter

    I can’t speak to that exact Amazon one- but I have used two of that style as well as the vortex pro and Aziak bino clamp. The screw in kind and the vortex pro over time would get loose or even while glassing the bino would shift up and down. PITA! The Aziak clamp or any similar have been a...

    Average Hunter Ignorance.

    Cold weather sometimes helps with marginal shots (if cold). Angle of shooter to bull hard to see- but based on video I am guessing angle of shooter is the same- so first shot appears to be high and back along with second shot with a quarter to angle (not ideal to hit high or back) What I...

    Help me design and build a Bino harness

    some blend between a marsupial and a kuiu. A lighter breathable bino holder that is quiet pulling bino in and out. Marsupial one handed operations for lid are a must. Options for full or semi full containment. Straps can be thin and possibly a super small amount of padding on the top. Kuiu size...
