    Bivy/ Backpack Hunting Mistakes/Advice

    Practice with your shelter / sleep system. After a long day hunting, you do not want to be fooling around trying to get camp set up. Also, mentally mark, or on GPS suitable camp locations as you come across them during the day. Once the sun has set, you can spend A LOT of time looking for a...

    New nicer rifle or 2 matching lower cost rifles (Practice vs Equipment?)

    So in reading the Practice vs. Equipment thread it really got me thinking. Even though I am primarily an archery hunter, I want to seriously expand my trigger time and improve my rifle shooting. I was planning on treating myself to a new rifle and was looking hard at a Christensen Ridgeline...

    Binos on hip belt?..

    My biggest concern with having them in a belt pouch would be leaving them behind. Her is my scenario. I stop at an area I want to glass, but it does not maybe merit getting out the tripod. Just sit, get my binos out of the belt pouch and glass. Put binos down to have a snack. Stand up and...

    Any real life comparisons between Razor LHT and VX5-HD?

    someone just did this comparison over on the Long Range Hunting forum (not the one on Rokslide). His initial review was pretty high on the Vortex, but he has since made some comments about the optical clarity in the lower power settings. Last I read he was discussing with Vortex to see if this...

    Digiscoping Spotter to Mirrorless Sony

    I use the Vortex adapter for my Sony RX100 III. I needed to attach the threaded filter adapter to my camera then the appropriate ring for the Vortex adapter. Fairly quick and works well.

    Favorite Bourbon Opinions

    Buffalo Trace and Makers are my daily drinkers. Knob Creek is in there as well. Favorite is Stagg Jr, but it is hard to get here in Idaho, so when I see it I pick up a bottle or 2.

    Is nothing sacred

    Well..... I had a “buddy” burn a spot a few years ago by inviting his buddy and his brothers buddy... now if someone is asking about that unit it’s the first place I tell them about.

    Hunting with a hinge: How are you carrying your release?

    Pants pocket and carry a spare in my bino harness. Only had one occasion when I could not get my release out fast enough. Had 3 bulls literally run up to 10 yards from me opening day a few years ago. I got an arrow out of the quiver, nocked and my release on the string before they got...

    Mountainsmith LT for 2 with stove

    I think it would be too tight. I am 6'4" and I would not want to share my MT light, or have a stove in it. If I am running my stove, I typically bring my sawtooth.

    How big are you? How wide is, or was, your quilt?

    That's a lot of questions! I am 6'4" about 240. Broad shoulders, don't really know my shoulder measurements but wear a 48 long suit jacket. I use an exped l/w pad which is a 25" pad. I run EE Long / Extra wide quilts. I do not find them too wide. Just about right so I can tuck the sides...

    UTV/SXS - How do you carry your bow?

    I had built a bow rack on my Ranger out of PVC pipe that held the bow great. Problem was that it would be totally coated with dust. I now use a hard case for my bow in the SxS. For the wheeler, I have a bow rack on the front (less dusty) but still really exposed. If you go the bow rack...

    Bows for Gorilla armed guys?

    I am in the long arm category as well. I picked up a Matthews Traverse last year and really like it. Before that I had a PSE Beast and shot 2005 Bowtech Constitutions for 10 years. The Traverse is set up at 32.5" -dan

    Kifaru Shut Down

    I saw Aron on FB last week that they were anticipating getting shut down. I had them send me back my shoulder straps that I had sent in for a re-build (due to a frayed seam) as they were still in que. Kifaru responded quickly and got them back out to me before the shut down. Just under the...

    Idaho Hunting Fees 2021 Non Resident (Big Elk Increase)

    I look at the tag cost increase a bit differently. As most of you know, on Aug 1st of each year, residents can by NR tags at the NR price. 3 years ago, F&G even discounted these tags as they were not selling out, many residents (myself included) took advantage of this lower priced NR tag to...
