    Leica APO Televid 65 vs. Swaro ATS 65

    Where did you hear Kowa’s coming out with a new 66 fluorite spotter? Couldn’t turn anything up on a quick google search

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    Thanks I've considered active insulation as a mid layer. I was thinking the Arcteryx Atom LT hoody perhaps. At only 12 oz, it seems like a solid choice. Todd Harney wrote about it in the western hunter Yeah I definitely agree. I'm considering picking up a peloton 200 in either gray or olive...

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    I definitely agree. Mid Layer has been my hardest piece to narrow down. I didn't include what I currently have in my original post on purpose so I wouldn't steer people in a certain direction. I currently have a peloton 97 and a peloton 240. Both have been great pieces, however, I'm looking...

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    Thanks for the input. What mid layer would you suggest? The mid layer is the one piece I'm definitely not sure about. I would appreciate any additional suggestions there. Also I said stone glacier helio "and" kuiu peleton 240. I'm really only looking at getting one of those pieces. I...

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    Thanks for the input. I'm definitely keeping in mind planning for 95% of my use rather than the what if I draw this tag or do this hunt someday syndrome. If I draw that tag or do some hunt then I'll cross that bridge when I come to it As far as hoods go, I like a hood on my baselayer for...

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    Wanted to thank everyone for the responses! This is great feedback and consistent with what I was thinking. Here are my thoughts as far as selection goes: Merino Hoody Base Layer: First Lite Wick Hoody or Kuiu 145 Hoody. I'm leaning towards the first lite since it has a higher synthetic...

    Favorite Top Layers: Baselayer / Fleece / Puffy / Rain Shell

    I would like to switch to one layering system for everything. Somehow I’ve ended up with several different baselayers for different scenarios and different rain jackets mid layers, etc. I don't think this has really benefited me and I'm looking to simplify things and clean out my gear closet. I...

    Quiver on or off for western hunting

    Just realized I never replied to this thread. Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm thinking I'll just plan on keeping my quiver on. I've tried shooting with it on and off lately and haven't found a profound enough difference to go through the trouble of taking it on and off in the field and...

    Blackovis anchor point puffies

    I’m thinking I’ll pick up the puffy pants. I’ve been looking for a good set of affordable puffy pants since I don’t think I’ll use them too often.

    KUIU gaiters or wait for SG?

    I’ve used Yukon gaiters for years and they’ve always worked great. Never had any complaints. They seem to breathe pretty well for water proof material. They’re also durable and function well putting on and staying on. I’ve hiked miles in them in snow, wet conditions and have forgot I had them...

    Quiver on or off for western hunting

    Hey guys, I heard Randy Ulmer on a podcast saying he takes his quiver off for spot and stalk mule deer. He said he loops it into a thin nylon belt. I also found this video where he describes his process (see link below). I've always shot with my quiver on. Even when hunting whitetails from a...

    Wyoming proposal to slash Non-resident hunters

    Wow! I was already contemplating quitting Wyoming since I don't have the time to hunt all the states I started applying for and I had to cut some out. More tags for those willing to pay those prices! Good luck to them and everyone hunting Wyoming! Wonder how much this will change NR draw...

    Puffy Boot Cover?

    Great idea. Been looking for something like this. I don't like hiking in heavy insulated boots - makes my feet wet and sweaty. This looks great. The weight you're showing is acceptable in my book!

    What offset bracket is this? Also thoughts on crossover?

    Yes. I ended up getting the 10/17. I've only really shot it in my basement at 19 yards. So far I've noticed that it adds a lot of stability to my set-up. Pin float has decreased. I really enjoy the set-up so far. I'm looking forward to using it at longer ranges come spring when I start...

    Best Tent for Early Archery High Country Mulies

    X3 on the SMD Lunar Solo. Super lightweight and has plenty of space. I've also had mine out in some serious wind and storms in the open and never had any issues. I also try to camp out of the wind though when I can

    DIY Kifaru Woobie - which outer materials?

    Thanks everyone for the replies I think I'll order a silpoly/silnylon for the outer and a ripstop nylon for the inner. Looks like Apex is backordered on the ripstop by the roll website. Hopefully I'll be able to get this project started soon! I'll post my results when I'm done

    DIY Kifaru Woobie - which outer materials?

    Hello, I'm looking at making my own Kifaru Woobie. I'm planning on using 3.6 oz apex insulation and 1.0 oz Hyper D (20D) from ripstop by the roll. I'm wondering if I should use a heavier fabric and if perhaps I should use a silnylon as an outer? Primary uses will be for glassing in could...
