    What to do with a pre war Model 70 Winchester

    That super grade is a super nice piece. Any pre 64 70 in 22 Hornet is awesome to own ( I’ve got 3 of them), but add the Supergrade factor and it gets exponentially nicer, and in the 1941(pre war) and it has all the bases covered. Shoot it if you like, but don’t ever part with it. You’ll never...

    Pelican 1745 Bow Case - Bow too small

    It is not intended for a rifle based upon the way the interior is laid out and its size. In order to accommodate a full sized bow ( with most sights intact) it is quite large& heavy. I’m sure that it could be adapted, with some creative foam carving) to work with a rifle or two. It is without a...

    WTS Marlin 39a JM

    Sweet rifle. I’ve had a few of them and have a few now. Just picked up a 1960 JM Golden Mountie (carbine) unfired. That will be the one I’m buried with in some undisclosed location. I’m sure St Peter will appreciate the workmanship. If I didn’t already have this variant I’d be talking to you...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    The best explanation I’ve heard and could probably agree with would be the theory of reflectivity. It is possible that since the jacket was brand new with the tags just taken off it was more reflective than it might have been if it were broken a little. I’ll probably go with that theory until I...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Really weird. After the season is over I intend to go back out and try to replicate the conditions. I have other ash clothing I may try and purposefully take the ash raingear back out to see if they pay any attention to it. Just wondered if anyone else had had a similar issue. I talked with KUIU...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    I agree with everything you’ve said, but I feel pretty sure that wasn’t the case. The breeze ( almost totally calm) was coming directly from them to me at 150 yards. I am very conscious of noise and movement are regularly sit for pretty long periods with no motion other than my eyes. Noise...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    I guess that’s possible, but even at that it was pretty low light since it was very overcast and raining. Pretty hard at times.

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Yea. That’s what I’m thinking too. I was sitting with my back against a tree that was about 3 ft in diameter that I thought would provide a good background. It just amazed me that they picked me up immediately after they came into the field from 125-150 yards. They picked me up and focused on me...

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    As for the noise, most of the deer came out across a fairly large field at 125-150 yards so I don’t think they heard anything unusual. To the second question I was wearing a light orange vest all day with both sets of outer gear.

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Interesting. I’ve seen several studies on deer vision. Supposedly they are very sensitive to UV light. I actually bought a black light to test for UV issues. All my KUIU have zero apparent UV that can be seen with it. Much of my street clothes were very obviously glowing under it.

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Thanks. I had a few things in ash that still had tags that I’ve already returned and replaced with Valo. I had a new with tags Yukon TR set ( jacket and pants) that I returned and replaced with Valo. Glad I did. Deer seem to be fine with it.

    Busted while wearing KUIU solid ash clothing

    Hello guys. I just experienced something that shocked me and wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience. I was recently deer hunting from a treestand and was wearing my KUIU Peleton 240 hooded jacket in Valo camo. It started to rain so I pulled out my Kutana rain gear in solid ash...

    Retrax truck bed cover question

    for those who have said they have gotten water into the bed ( those with the Retrax Pro XR). Is the water coming through the aluminum slats or coming in/ getting by the seals under the rails? Water at the tailgate seems to be a very common issue too. Thanks.

    Thanks to all who have offered their experiences. Keep them coming. Really like hearing both pros and cons. Lots of things to consider.

    Retrax truck bed cover question

    I like the Retrax primarily because I could attach track mounted carriers, a tent, etc and still get into the bed with no interference I’ve heard that they are probably not the most waterproof, but other than that folks seem to be fairly positive. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming...

    Retrax truck bed cover question

    Hey fellows, I’m looking at various truck bed covers for my truck (2008 Ford F250 6.4 diesel in excellent condition). I’ve looked at several makes/models, but keep coming back to the Real Truck Retrax XR model. I was just wonder if anyone has personal experience with this cover and can comment...
