    Muley Hunt Sidetracked...

    We were blessed with early snow and cold temps this year. Saturday morning it was 18 C and there was 6" of powder snow on the ground....conditions we usually don't get until after the season closes. I left the truck 1/2 before daylight and with my headlamp started trekking uphill. As daylight...

    2020 BC Caribou

    After some high fives with my brother, he decide to walk around the lake to the bull. I was going to walk back to camp to get the boat and waders that I brought. As the boat was pretty suspect he plan was to load the meat into the boat and pull it back to camp along the shoreline. A week...

    The next morning the mountain behind us (where 1/2 the meat was still stashed) was socked in with fog. The mountains across the lake had patches of fog moving around. I told my brother - well we could go get the meat in that fog or glass the other side that we could possibly hunt. After about...

    Lightweights

    You could get a Tikka (270, 30-06, 6.5x55, Creed) then have a Wildcat fibreglass stock installed by Corlanes or any other smith. The Wildcats are made in Canada too. That would hit your weight target & budget.

    Sheep hunt with no sheep, but caribou!

    Nice bulls! Yea that tundra is tough to walk across. You can’t really understand it until you’ve tried it.

    Next we skinned and quartered the animal. We packed the meat uphill back to the top of the saddle and stashed it alongside a snow patch. We covered the gamebags with an emergency blanket to keep the cold in and the rain off. We made our way back down to the tent. The wind was holing thru...

    2020 BC Caribou

    The 2020 caribou hunt turned out to be a bit of an adventure with my brother. We hiked up into the alpine and set up the Black Diamond MegaLite in a high saddle (.....ie: wind tunnel). That night at 2:30am I woke to the tent flapping on my face. The two down-wind corner pegs (8" Y-stakes) had...

    Ever feel like someone's trying to tell you something?

    I think you should report back on how the trip went whether a tag got punched or not! :)

    Sheep hunting partner etiquette

    I do the coin toss to start day 1, then switch every other day. The problem with who spots it can be when approaching a new basin you don't want to be racing/rushing to see in first.

    Ever feel like someone's trying to tell you something?

    tdot - I'd put polysporin on that and baby it as much as possible - then go for it! You never know what the future holds (especially in this province). Back in 2010 my partner broke his collar bone 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave....so i went solo and found success! The packout was...

    Anyone like quilts but not in cold weather?

    I’ve got similar experience/advice as some of the others. I have an older (pre-overstuff) 0F EE quilt. It’s great unless it drops to about -3 C, then I prefer a bag. I tend to sleep cold.

    Pics of Custom Seek Outside Packs

    I've been running a SO for the last 5 seasons in x-33 multicam. I did get two small (BB sized holes) in the fabric which I patched. If buy again I'd get the heavier fabric for standing up to being laid down on rocks and shale up in the mountains. As far as layout I just have the 6300 main...

    HELP! Mystery Ranch Fitment Issue - Guide Light MT

    Macabra11, I think that's as much lift as you'll get from the load lifters on the MR pack. I'm 6'4" with 22" torso. There are pics in this thread comparing the 26" MR frame to a 28" Seek Outside: https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/hunting-packs-for-the-very-tall.164715/#post-1575070
