That would be super frustrating. I think it's good that people share their experiences with outfitters and put their names on it. It's hard to find info on these guys sometimes and I think there are far too many of them out there that shouldn't be for us to "protect" their names
I would give Hoffman a call and talk to them. I have the benefit of living near them and stopped in there to talk to them about pac boots one day. They were super helpful and spend a lot of time with me talking about the different boots they had. They even sewed up a fresh pair and sent me home...
I don't like pac boots because their soles are flimsy and unsupportive. But they are probably about the same as your Lacrosse rubber boots. So, if those work for you then the pac boots should work. I have hoffman pac boots and have worn them out in 0 degree weather with 3 feet of snow on the...
I take my dog every time. He's got too much energy and it's a great way to get him to burn it off. He's a maniac and doesn't sit still while I'm glassing, but i'm typically glassing animals 600+ yards away and I'm not going down into their areas anyway. I don't feel like it has ever hindered my...
I have a brand new pair of Schnee's Mission V2 in size 11.5D. I had a pair that got sent in for warranty repair and they gave me a brand new pair instead. However, it took them three months to get my size in and I bought a different boot that I actually like better now. I did take the tags off...
I got a pair for upland bird hunting in Washington. They were very comfortable and exactly what I was looking for. However, they weren't waterproof at all. 30min of walking through wet grass and they soaked completely through. I could pour water out of my boots after the first field. I even had...
Welcome! Where in eastern Washington are you? I’m in Spokane. I helped a buddy hunt 10A this past season and he tagged a nice whitetail buck. I may be able to offer you some intel
There’s a book out there called “Fixing your feet” and it’s all about how to take care of your feet and fix any issues you may encounter. It’s a great book and the knowledge has served me well. It’s worth the read
Sweet rig! And those swaro’s are great scopes. I’d give them a try since you already have them and if you aren’t feeling it I’d probably give the Leupold vx-6 line a try in whatever magnification you prefer
I had a 2009 Silverado with the 5.3. At 178k miles it lost an exhaust valve lifter on cylinder six and had to have the engine rebuilt. Overall I had a lot of issues with that truck and decided to get rid of it at that point. Giving Ford a try now
I found these on Amazon and they have worked great. I’ve used the set I’m on now on at least 5 elk and they are still holding up great. They clean easily and they don’t let dirt in. So far, they’ve been every bit as good as my TAG bags. The only thing is they are huge. Order the deer size for elk
