    Seekins Precision - Havak Pro Hunter PH1

    Has anyone had experience with the Seekins Havak Pro Hunter? Looking at adding a 6.5 to the arsenal. Based on their reputation and features of the rifle it appears to be a pretty solid choice. Any opinions?

    What should I be looking for in a tent

    Tyler, Manager with the Wall Tent Shop here. If you will be able to set-up a basecamp, have a short trip in, or be able to drive to your camp a wall tent is something to consider. With a weight of 45lb., our 8x10 isn't suited for packing in too far. Our company owner Rich, stays in his 8x10...

    Newbie looking for a day pack

    I'm a big fan of the Badlands Packs with the Hypervent system. I think they do it in their Diablo and Dash. I've got one of their older packs from the 2000's and it is still my go to pack when I'm doing lots of moving around (horn hunting, scouting, and spot n stalk). The Hypervent system...

    First Lite Vs. Kuiu

    Without a doubt, First Lite. I've owned both and I strongly prefer First Lite. The main thing I have noticed is durability. I do the majority of my hunting and shed hunting in areas covered in rose bushes and blackberry bushes and am constantly getting caught up in those damn things. Wore...

    Bear Bait. . .what do you use and why?

    Thanks blue. From game cams I know I've got some big boys hangin in my area. Last year I tried to maintain 3 bait sites, which was difficult. All 3 baits had bears hitting them and then I had to hope I was sitting at the right one. Do you see any disadvantage of setting all 3 barrels on the...

    Who has switched to a Synthetic Boot from Leather: Pros and Cons

    I actually have made the switch the opposite way. I do a large amount of horn hunting in the spring (cover close to 150 miles over 3 months) and for the longest time wore the Asolo Fugitive GTX. Horn hunting is where I cover the most ground (15-20 miles a day). I was gifted a pair of the Asolo...

    Bear Bait. . .what do you use and why?

    Now as far as location is concerned, I've been debating between two for this spring and I'm stuck. 1. Bait in a wooded area near the edge of the field as it is easily accessible for filling baits frequently and generously. I feel as though the bears may feel exposed in this situation and may...

    Bear Bait. . .what do you use and why?

    As far as timing is concerned, last year when baiting there were times I would show up 3 days after my prior bait and there would be little bears hanging around as I walked to the bait to refill. They would eventually take off and then show back up after about 30 - 60 minutes. I usually did...

    Trail cam reccomendations?

    I've started running the Cuddeback - Silver Series Black Flash. Trigger speed is good, battery life is good so far (8 months on the same set of batteries taking over 1000 pictures) and easy to use. Due to the fact that the bears in my area love ripping these off tree's, i've paired them with...

    Miserable time in a tent

    The Canvas only is going to come in at 50lb. Not practical for going too far, but if it produces better sleep quality it may be worth the effort.

    Bear Bait. . .what do you use and why?

    With the scent you create, how do you utilize this? Spray the surrounding area? Spray in the air? Spray your trail out? Thanks!

    Bear Bait. . .what do you use and why?

    I have been hunting bears for a few years now, but last spring started baiting pretty hard. I have used meat scraps from local butchers, pastries and bread, and dog food mixed with grease. For my experience level I felt as if I had fairly good results as everything was consumed by the...

    Miserable time in a tent

    If your trouble sleeping is related to claustrophobia and a lack of headroom, check out the Wall Tent Shop's Wilderness Canvas Tent with a 6' sidewall. We make these in an 8x10 and adding a foot to our standard 5' sidewall is going to give you a 9' peak and might make you feel more at home...
