Of course if you want a really big rack you can increase your chances by going somewhere else. That could be said about almost anyplace in Minnesota. The experience that NE MN offers is much more rare and valuable, in my opinion. I can understand why many don't like wolves, but it should be...
I’ve had no issues with wetting out, but I haven’t used it in wet weather, either. If the forecast was for slushy snow or rain, I’d choose a different jacket. That said, I’ve used it in snowy weather when it’s been cold and it has been just fine.
I got the green color. I think it looks nice but...
Simply put, I felt I was getting much more bang for my buck with the Alpine. 2 oz more down and box baffle construction as well as Montbell’s reputation for excellent down products. I wanted something that would keep me warm no matter what, and I wasn’t confident the SG could do that. I have...
If you already have the FL, why not step up to the next level and get something really warm? FF Helios or Montbell Alpine. There’s no reason to limit yourself to the hunting brands.
I had the Conquest HDs and now own a pair of SLCs. I much prefer the SLCs. The view out of the Zeiss rivals the Swaros, but the blackout issues I had with the Zeiss were very annoying, even with the extended eyecups. I don't have that issue with my SLCs. For what those Zeiss cost, its worth...
I think your money would be better spent fixing the problem than going after the previous owner. Worst case it costs slightly more. Best case, it costs much less. Regardless, you need to do something ASAP so you don't have frozen lines and a flood.
Don’t give up.
My wife refused to sleep train. She wouldn’t even consider it. My daughter was always a good sleeper so it wasn’t a big deal. My son has never slept a single night without sharing a bed with my wife. He’s just shy of 2 years old right now and is screaming as I type this. It’s...
I’ve hunted a fair bit around Wyoming and decided that if I ever were to move there, Thermopolis would be high on my list. I liked the town and the area. It’s fairly centrally located, as well.
You have a few more years to wait for a Unit 1 archery tag and a few more decades for an early rifle tag. If you want to hire an outfitter, get some warm clothes and apply for a late rifle hunt.
It means you may not draw for 2 years as 3 points could easily not be a lock for next year. This is assuming you apply for the normal full priced license.
I agree with Kotaman. I can’t imagine hiking in any down jacket. I have the Montbell Alpine and it’s great. It would rip if I busted brush with it, but I’d be dead from overheating in minutes. A base layer, merino shirt, and soft shell should easily take you below zero if you are hiking and...
I'm a big fan of 8x around my chest. I had 10s and sold them and enjoy the 8s much more. But, I also have 15x I can throw on the tripod for situations that call for them.
I'd say if they're only for your chest, go 8x. If you'll throw them on a tripod often, go 10x.
