    Stone Sheep Success

    Congratulations! I, too, am from the southeast and can relate to you in a lot of ways. It was me coming face to face with a sheep (big horn) that made me fall in love with western big game. Like you, it changed me forever. I haven’t had the opportunity to take any sheep yet but I definitely plan...

    To anyone reading the archery forum

    I also take mine to my local shop. They work on bows for a living. They shoot competitively so they’re always tinkering trying to find what works best. I feel they’re the best in my state and they’ve probably forgotten more than I’ll ever know about working on archery equipment. I’m not ashamed...

    Backcountry hunt pack weight

    “If you’re staying out even one night in the woods, deer (elk) camp is as important as your clothing…. If your camp isn’t comfortable enough to recoup physically and mentally, by about day two you’ll be thinking about mamma and your warm bed at home. Before you know it, you’ll have dreamed up...

    What did you do today to get ready for Elk season?

    Wasn’t today, but a couple weeks ago, me and the wife took a camping/backpacking trip up in Glacier National Park for our anniversary. I like doing stuff like that because it gives me a chance to test out most of my gear and see what needs replacing (sleeping pads, tent that the mouse chewed...

    New Pack

    Yea I’m feeling pretty optimistic about it. I actually loved that Exo a lot. It slid but not enough to be a nuisance really. I just needed a bigger bag, Ole Steve Speck thinks a 5000 cu/in bag is a 14 day bag haha (exaggerating of course). I like those 10 plus days type hunts and that 4800 would...

    New Pack

    So what you’re saying is that for the x-curve to fit right… you need some junk in your trunk? Haha I’m kidding. But I did just swap from Exo (K3) to SG (x curve). Haven’t really got to load it up yet though. The Exo gradually slid down the entire time for me. I know they had a lumbar upgrade but...

    Best affordable zero degree bag for side sleeper?

    I have the Stone Glacier 0 degree bag and I love it! I’m 5’9” with a wider frame. I feel Stone Glacier has the best down products on the market.

    Wrestling a Grizz to the death

    They’re called “bear hands” for a reason! Show thyself a man and use them the way God intended. You don’t need no yuppy bear spray or any lame tactical pistol. Just some good old fashion grit…. Then maybe you’ll at least die with some dignity.

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    I like the high walls and the bathtub floor. I also love how great it holds up in high winds. Brian Call has a video where he took this tipi on a bear hunt and got into some sketchy winds and the tent did great. I had a sawtooth in the past and wasn’t a big fan so I’m curious if this one would...

    Camo vs Solids??

    I’m in the school of thought that it is better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. I can’t prove to anyone with scientific evidence that Camo is better but I feel it works better at concealing you than solids. I won’t argue that hunting the wind and being...

    Target Bow for Hunting?

    My father-in-law, who has bow hunted since the dawn of time, was the one who showed me how little of force was actually needed to penetrate when using a really sharp broadhead that cuts on contact. He still shoots the plain old Muzzys from way back and shoots #55 bow on an old Mathews and has...

    Target Bow for Hunting?

    Wasn’t baiting you up for anything. I just enjoy talking about what everyone is using, especially someone whose been in the game longer than I. I try and take any nugget I can get to see if it’s anything I’d like to try.
