    Ulmer edge broadhead

    I know this is an old thread but I recently heard a Podcast that the Ulmer Edge broadhead would be being re-introduced. Has anyone else heard this?

    Bergara B14 Ridge 6.5 PRC Anyone seen one yet?

    I've got a Wilderness Ridge in 7 RM on its way. Cant wait to shoot it and see how what kind of groups it puts up. I nearly bought a custom from a guy that had 1,000 rounds down the tube already and then he ghosted me so I ordered the Bergara. I am thinking it may have been a blessing in...

    Kifaru Duplex Lite Frame - Back Profile Changes

    I don't have enough days as a member yet but I am interested in your puffy Mountain Hardwear pants you currently have listed. Mid next week I should be able to PM you.

    Backpacking Tents

    People seem to love the Seek Outside Eolus tent but with the tarp and inner you're at nearly $500 blowing your $200 budget wide open.

    9MM ammo for bears defense?

    Trapped hogs are hardly a good comparison in my experience. You are shooting it once, likely in the head, likely at a distance measured in single digit feet. On a bear, if you're that close even with lethal hits you may not make it out of there alive and almost certainly you aren't making it...

    Boot choice - Salomon and Asolo?

    Buying multiple pairs of different brands and in different sizes is what I would recommend as well. Wear them around the house and in the driveway, maybe walk around the yard on nice weather days to see what you like best and return the rest. Could have about $1000 +/- wrapped up in boots for...

    Kuiu discount code

    I ordered some stuff from them last week to the tune of about $500. I called and asked if they had any promos codes currently active that would apply to my purchases, they did not. KUIU doesn't seem to really care to offer deals on their gear very often.

    Ultimate dedicated hunting rig?

    Budget no object it would probably be a Unimog or a Mercedes G55 lifted with 35's. Bringing this back to reality and having pretty much all the same capability would be a late 80's/early 90's Jeep Cherokee XJ lifted on 35's with lockers. That thing will get you just about anywhere you could...

    Best Elk Hunting Backpack

    I use a KUIU ICON PRO 5200, the closest bag to it that KUIU currently offers is the Icon Pro 6000 and I really like it. Of the choices you have listed I'd go Mystery Ranch. When you're into the more premium packs it's tough to go wrong as they all have lots of years of feedback and experience...

    High quality boots or high quality pack?

    I'm going to go against the grain here and say boots, haha. I would recommend going to a store like Redwing boot boutique, or an outlet for one of the other highly regarded boot companies like Kennetrek, Crispi, Danner, etc. When you go in there, try and find a person to help you that looks...

    BroadHeads for Elk hunting

    Well I think that makes you the first person I've ever met who thinks elk are not more tough than Whitetail deer. I use Muzzy Broadheads and while I've never put one through an elk I have no reason to think that they wouldn't do the job if I put the arrow in the right place. Something else to...

    Suggestions on a range finder under $500?

    I'd probably take them up on that $500 Leica deal. I spent significantly less on my Bushnell ARC 1000 but its done everything I've needed thus far.

    Best caliber for axis

    Aiming for the front shoulder is good info. Thanks for sharing.

    How far have you traveled for a weekend hunt

    About 8 hours one way to hunt Axis on a weekend. Dipped out of work about 3:00 PM and arrived stupid late. Returned home Sunday night pretty late as well.

    Would a side arm be necessary? Also what caliber?

    I would carry but I'd advise picking up a Kenai chest rig to carry it in. That weight on your hip with a belt on a pack may or may not work well. For me, my pack and body shape I can't carry a handgun on my pants belt if I want to use the belt on my pack. The Kenai chest rig is perfect. I'd...

    Kuiu NEW CAMO PATTERN 2020

    It is definitely real. If you are on KUIU mailing list they sent out an email blast about it this morning.

    The new kuiu

    Seems like it would work well in heavy sage brush areas.

    350 or 400 for 62# bow?

    The faster the bow the stiffer the spine NEEDS to be. I am shooting a ~63 lb Matthews Z7 and run a .340 spine Easton Axis.

    Identify this 5.56 ammo...

    That makes sense. I didn't know that the pressure levels were increased as well. I didn't understand how that tiny steel core exposed would impact the bolt life but the increased pressure makes sense. I did figure it might have an increased wear in feed ramp area but that'd be about it...

    Thermals and their impact on approach

    Ok everyone, brand new member here. Went elk hunting out in Colorado once last year and I am hooked. I am going Mule Deer hunting in Wyoming this year with a buddy who is also a RS member. Been into firearms since I turned 21 and I am an adult onset hunter with a very recent foray into Bow...
