    Chest rig/holster and pack

    Another good option for a kydex holster behind a chest pack is a hoskings chest holster, their website shows a ruger american. And they are pretty affordable too.

    Pack additions

    I'm going the opposite direction that I see a lot of people headed in by trying to keep my bino harness as streamlined as possible, I don't want a bunch of stuff hanging off my chest so this shoulder pocket seems like a good look for keeping a few extras handy. Does it mount relatively securely...

    Mystery ranch 7500?

    My ultimate goal is to upgrade to a SG or Kuiu or Kifaru or whatever fits my body the best when I have the budget for it. I'm just saying an on sale metcalf for less than 300 bucks is not a bad look at all as an "entry level" pack. Especially when you can sell it after a couple seasons for...

    Mystery ranch 7500?

    I have a MR metcalf that I'm a big fan of, and have a hunting buddy that has one and loves it. And last years model comes up on camofire pretty regularly for a pretty huge discount.

    Necessity of Sleeping Pads

    Like a lot of others have said its not about comfort in the sense of not sleeping on bumps, a sleeping pad creates an air barrier between you/your sleeping bag and a massive heat sink (the earth). If you sleep on the ground heat is going to transfer from you to the ground until your body and the...

    Big Agnes wedgie bag extender

    Anybody have experience with a Big Agnes Wedgie bag extender on a non Big Agnes bag? Looking for options to fit better in my current bags before I make the switch altogether to quilts. I can match length and zipper spec (YKK #5), but a number 5 zipper from two different manufacturers is going to...

    Hogs

    In nw Oklahoma I've killed pigs just about any way it can be done. Shot this one and a few more on the way home from a Christmas dinner with my grandparents

    Texas Whitetail Opportunities

    Grew up in OK but have been transplanted to Fort Worth for work. There are a few public land options within an hour to an hour and a half of FW that are good for taking a doe or two to fill the freezer. Southeast Oklahoma has some pretty good public land but the cost of nonresident tags is rising.

    First Time Hunter - Northeast

    Different situations will call for different approaches (obviously); if I'm hunting property where a kill site is going to be a few hundred yards from a road or trail I'm probably going to drag a deer to the truck and process it on the tailgate, or if I am going to be deeper than that I might...

    Euro Mount Question

    We have always boiled, but next year we're thinking about waiting till everyone is done killing and go in on some beetles together. The museum of Osteology in OKC uses beetles to clean and it works great, but they charge 180 bucks a skull.

    Sleeping bag liner/travel sheet

    I use a liner so I can take it out and wash it and keep my bag clean, recently I've been looking at a Sea to Summit reactor/reactor extreme because they're both on sale at REI for around 50 bucks. Any thoughts on the regular vs. the extreme?

    Southeastern Oklahoma public land?

    I’ve had success, and know guys that have been very successful, hunting along the kiamichi river north of Hugo lake. A john boat is just about required to get deep enough and a climbing stand works great on the tall straight pines.

    Best Puffy?

    With puffys I always look at backpacking or ultralight stuff, Rab or Patagonia are hard to beat but mountain hardwear and eddie bauer have some great options too

    Back country food?

    Canned tuna or chicken and tortillas with mustard, mayo, and relish packets makes a pretty good tuna salad sandwich. I like metrx meal bars, most of them are about 400 cal and 30 grams of protein. I always keep a few fatty cakes (oatmeal cream pies or nutty bars) on hand for dessert.
