    Stone Glacier Cirque Jacket

    I like these, and the hooded vest, but dislike the fit of the hood on both. The hood should be more thoughtfully shaped especially to accommodate hats with brims in the front. Like, don't overthink it--just copy an Arcteryx hood. I also think both jacket and vest should zip open and closed from...

    Stealthcam motion sensor too sensitive

    I have the Stealthcam in the pics below. It is taking hundreds of useless pictures a day, owing to an apparently overly sensitive motion sensor. I've reduced the burst size to 1 photo, and the interval between bursts to 10 seconds. I'm concerned if I go much longer, I risk missing follow up pics...

    Tell me about this mountain lion

    Overall body size, shoulder blade definition, mass in hind quarter, and black tip definitely suggest adulthood to me, and my suspicion is this is an older tom. But avatar notwithstanding I don't really know a great deal about them. Such cool creatures.

    whetstone recommendations?

    Diamond stones often don't come totally flat, and can't really be flattened. May not matter much if you're not flattening plane irons or chisels for fine stuff. In any case my favorite waterstones are Norton: https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Norton-Water-Stone-Kit-P94.aspx Really consistent...

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    I suppose whether they do and whether they should are two different questions. As for the magnitude, geographic distribution, and overall impact of winter mortality on 2023 hunter experience, I guess I don't really know, but I guess you don't either.

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    https://mountainjournal.org/winter-takes-huge-toll-on-western-wildlife-and-humans-warned-to-give-survivors-space FWP and the game agencies of other western states should have been obligated to notify NR applicants of the dismal state of affairs at checkout. FWP definitely knew before April 1. I...

    The NPS website you link states the following: "The NPS proposes to 1. Prohibit methods considered inconsistent with "sport" hunting, including taking big game while the animal is swimming, taking wildlife from a motorboat, taking wolves and coyotes (including pups) during their denning period...

    BHA rendezvous !

    Huh. That's too bad. I was in the woods building beaver dam analogs in a grazed out drainage with 20 other people the same week I first joined, and have had to turn down more offers than I accept.

    What sidearm do you carry in lower 48 grizz country ??

    I have a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 mag 2.75" barrel with big fat HSM bear loads of some kind in it. It is obscenely, absurdly heavy and as a result I rarely carry it and may end up selling it. I also have a Sig 329 9mm and have often considered carrying it in griz country instead. The convention...

    Arrow weight and speed

    Here are the 28 arrow weights from this thread plotted against speed with a cubic smoother (dashed orange line). As expected speed generally increases as weight decreases, though wide variation in speed measurements is left unexplained without the inclusion of draw weight, draw length, and...

    Packing out a Whitetail

    I believe it is the R3300 + 500 ci brain, purchased the year after I bought the frame, I believe 2017. Hits my sweet spot for multi night summer scouts or bigger late season day rifle hunts.

    Packing out a Whitetail

    500' up, then 2.5k' and 4.3 mi down to the world's only known TRD Outback in one trip. Not smart

    Swarovski ATC vs. ATS vs. Kowa 553…Updated 4/26/23!

    My only optics are Vortex Razor HD 12x50 binoculars. I never leave home without them, from still hunting timber to tripod-based spotting out to fairly long distances. I plan to glass more in the next 5 years than I have in the past 5, and am considering getting a spotter. Question: would the...
