Probably should have mentioned that. From Louisiana but have spent a good bit of time hunting out west. Bow and rifle, backpack wilderness to whitetail stand hunting. I'd like to keep it in the lower 48 or Canada for this trip.
My wife just informed me she's off to Disney with the kids end of November 2018.....and I don't have to go! So I've got a week long yard pass but have never hunted outside of my home state that late in the year. I typically get out of the mountains before the snow gets deep. What would be a...
As part of my spring cleaning I'm looking to sell my Schnee's Bridger 9" un-insulated boots. I bought these for a warm weather elk hunt last fall. They were awesome but I normally wear an 11.5 and all they had in stock were the 11's. pulled the laces tight and went with it. Worked fine but I...
I've hunted the wilderness area (uncompahgre) in 65 the last 10 years, with the occasional year off. The pressure there has increased exponentially in that time. The first 2-3 years I was there I didn't see another hunter. Last year there were roughly a dozen hunters basing out of the same...
I've been hunting that wilderness area for years and have never found a spot I would classify as relatively smooth. Good for you finding one! I've packed 4.25 miles out of there with a bull. When you're done go straight to the hot springs in Ouray. You'll need it. Every year I say I'll...
Alright, here goes an abbreviated kuiu icon pro 1850 review. Please note that the pack never left my living room; I have no comment relative to weight distribution, capacity, etc. For full disclosure: I am a huge fan of kuiu and use their clothing exclusively.
I am looking for a true...
Lots of great suggestions. I broke down and ordered the kuiu icon pro 1850, mainly because it was in consideration and got some good reviews here (and I had a 15% off coupon). If I don't like it I'll return and try something else. Either way I'll try to post a detailed review with pics after...
Your area sounded very familiar, especially once you said you would be in 65. I've hunted this area the last 8 years. If you want PM me a more specific area in the unit and I'll point you in the right direction.
So my normal hunt is a heavy pack-in, 5-7 day hunt where I use my large pack/frame for a day pack. Making my first New Mexico bow hunt this year, private land so I'll only need enough room for a spotter, puffy, lunch, etc. Trying to find something that won't interfere with my draw, not worried...
My usual back country elk hunt isn't going to take place this year. Between kids sports, a much awaited Illinois trip and that damn work thing that seems to always foul up my social calendar, I was beginning to think my chances of filling my freezer were slim this year. But I had a thought...
