    100-120 liter backpack as a small duck decoy bag?

    Not exactly answering your question, given this is may be a "top of the line thousand dollar backpack". I use my Seek Outside Fortress 6300 to duck hunt when I'm going more than a mile. it's worked great, and is reasonably water resistant. The main challenge I've found is backpacks aren't...

    Active Junky Discount - Didn't work with a Bass Pro Purchase

    I've sent Active Junky an email in the past with the order number and they've been able to honor the rebate. Worth a try with such a large purchase.

    Oregon Spring Bear - Archery Spot and Stalk

    2 cents, having not done it, but certainly considered it. If I were committed to a bow, I'd be doing a lot of scouting of closed green grassy roads for sign, and still hunting the brightest green roads I can find, near dark with a good wind. Earlier in the season (April) is probably better...

    Oregon draw results are up

    I'm coming back up to NW after hunting SW for the last few years. Such a fun hunt, excited for the green up!

    If you were going to ThruHike

    My partner and I hiked the Oregon section last year over about 4 weeks, averaging about 15mi/day. I have pretty lightweight gear, but opted for my 5lb Seek Outside pack instead of my lighter ULA pack. I don't regret it, however I wouldn't choose to do it again, especially for a longer trip. I...

    Are you still selling the Hoyt Satori and limbs? I’ll take it, if so.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Bear Hunting

    Most of my bear hunting has been in working forests/tree farms, so take it for what it's worth. The one thing that would have ensured I used my time more efficiently was to focus on areas with little to no human traffic. Of the 4 bears I've killed in the last 5 years, all have been in isolated...

    BHA Supports an Eco-Terrorist to Head BLM

    She's a hunter and values public lands. I'm not sure I personally want a whole lot more than that from the Director of the BLM. I know a lot of folks who said and did things they weren't proud of 30 years ago. Doesn't mean they should be disqualified for a job they're well qualified for now.

    Oregon spring bear

    No bears seen for me this weekend, but a little sign in the right places. I was a little surprised by how crunching things were, a few roads I checked almost didn't seem huntable as a result, and no rain in the forecast.

    Truck Camping Pad

    Another +1 for the exped megamat. It's certainly more expensive, but it's the most comfortable pad I've used, is durable, warm, and quiet. I use it on top of an old surplus cot in the back of my truck, and it was well worth the investment. In my mind, the big advantage over just foam is that you...

    Idaho Bear Results Are Out.

    Same. It sounds like this may be the last year some of the snake units are w/o hounds and bait, I was really hoping this was the year. I'll be curious to see if ID had the same increase in applicants as OR.

    Oregon spring bear

    Yeah, I had two friends not draw SW tags first choice with zero points. Their app numbers were both ~7.5mil, the seed number being ~9.5mil, so definitely a surge in popularity. I'm pretty surprised given the increase in the number of SW tags (I think 4400ish to 4800ish). Shoot, that's becoming...

    Oregon spring bear

    Results are up, back to SW for me, hope to see even more bears this year than last.

    Truck Shopping

    I just traded in my 2016 Tacoma MT for a 2021 DC 8ft bed Tundra. I loved the Tacoma, and thought I'd run it into the ground, however the 5ft bed ended up being a deal breaker. I put 75K miles on the Tacoma, and didn't do anything but oil changes and tires, and while it could have used a little...

    MTN OPS Merino Wool

    I've liked the black ovis merino so far this season. The lightweight hooded long sleeve (150gm I think?) has been great, not too hot, durable enough. I've picked up the couple pieces I have off camofire for 40-50% off their retail. It's been by far the best value I've come across for merino if...

    Do I Need 10-Ply Tires?

    KO2 - 10ply snow rated tires on my tacoma here, 10ply Toyo AT II's before that. The ride is a little harsh, but it's a truck. I hate dealing with flats, and some of the SE Oregon roads like to chew up tires, so I'd rather not spend days of my hunts/trips out getting a flat fixed.

    Upland Vest: Q5 rimfire vs centerfire?

    A little late to the game, but in case you're still looking. I purchased a Q5 centerfire last year and have been really happy with it. I've mostly used it chukar hunting so far, where lots of storage for an all day hunt is pretty much mandatory. It's super adjustable, so it took a bit to figure...

    Mountainhuntsupplies.com

    I wouldn't buy anything from them. http://www.sportmegashop.com/ is at the same physical address, and looks even less legitimate. One thing to do it is look at google street view for their listed address. If it looks like a warehouse, or plausible place for a sporting goods company to do...
