    mid range (600yd) scope insight and experience

    thanks guys. I have done a ton of searching and reading but thanks for the suggestion! Seems the zeiss is definitely loved by many but my searching had seemed to highlight that zeiss still suffers from erector issues as well. Maybe my search terms are inaccurate or the "anything other than...

    mid range (600yd) scope insight and experience

    My brain is exploding trying to research a decent scope to put on a 7mm-08 compact rifle. I always have kept my shots to within 250yds so I haven't had to mess with adjusting the scope. This year will be my third and fourth trips out west hunting (I normally hunt Michigan where shooting distance...

    Kifaru Dominating the Hunting Market

    for me, top quality materials, great customer service and they stand behind their products, made in USA by hunters/outdoorsman, and the people that work there are just great to deal with. I met Aron at an archery show where he was a guest speaker and had my new backpack in the truck. He took the...

    Anyone else having issue accessing the Kifaru website?

    ok, I sent their support team an email that the site was offline. Anyone have the sales department phone number?

    I’m actually thinking about buying a cargo van.

    had a conversion van for several years, the wife and I modified it into a camper. We got rid of it due to the low roof height (couldn't stand up) but both loved the rig. It was perfect since you can drive it pretty easily anywhere (in town I mean, vs a big RV or travel trailer) and crawl in the...

    Budget beginner Binos

    Well, it sounds like a great opportunity to me. Since it is for the kid, the wife should support it - hand your current binoc down to him and buy yourself some top end glass! That would be my first approach anyway. If the wife doesn't go for that, others here have made some great suggestions -...

    Holster Recommendations

    so, I rigged up my diamond D as a cross draw, it sat on my left hip and it worked great on my recent elk hunt. I will put a pic up if I can remember. I removed the over the shoulder strap and put a compression strap buckle in its place (from my kifaru backpack). I connected one end of the...

    InReach & AT&T Incompatible??

    Similar happened to a friend and I on our elk hunt a couple weeks ago. Both wives have ATT cell service. My messages went through to my wife via ATT but I don't send to the phone number, I send messages to the mms and/or text email addresses for ATT: [email protected] or...

    Holster Recommendations

    I bought the diamond D chest rig for my 5.5" redhawk 44 mag. It is a great holster and handles the weight well but I agree it is a no-go if you plan to use a bino chest pack (I run the alaska guide bino pack). Carried a glock on my backpack belt last year, that worked well. I am planning to get...

    Vehicle for hunting Idaho

    bought a 2004 2500 crew cab long box duramax last weekend. Dealer is going to deliver it once the service is done (he was having an oil change and brakes done but called today and said it threw a check engine light and needs a turbo... he is fixing on his dime but I have to wait longer now). No...

    Vehicle for hunting Idaho

    Thanks guys this helps. I will definitely bring a saw. May throw the bike and quad in if there is room but we don't mind walking a bit. Just didn't want to be confined to main/paved roads only. If guys haul campers down those roads I won't have any issues with having to back out for miles due to...

    getting around in Idaho Beaverhead unit

    A friend and I purchased Idaho OTC Elk tags in the beaverhead elk unit for this fall. I have not been in that area yet and am wondering if a full size extra cab long bed truck would be able to navigate the roads in that unit, or if we would have difficulty driving around. I am selling my Tacoma...

    Or, should we tow an ATV and my Dual Sport bike out? I haven't read up on whether Beaverhead is a decent area for ATVs or not...

    Vehicle for hunting Idaho

    A friend and I purchased Idaho OTC Elk tags in the beaverhead elk unit for this fall. I have not been in that area yet and am wondering if a full size extra cab long bed diesel truck would be able to navigate the roads in that unit, or if we would have difficulty driving around.

    Portable scales

    Just thought of this - If I use a couple pullies and some rope and rig the scale up correctly it would essentially double the capacity of the scale. Doubt I will ever get a bear over 300lbs anyway but just convincing myself the 320# scale is more than adequate.

    Portable scales

    yeah I figure my bear last year was 150 or so but no way to know. The biologist said it looked old based on tooth wear but I know it definitely was under 200lbs because I carried 3 quarters (one was shot up really bad), backstraps and hide/skull out in one backpack load. It was a heavy/full pack...

    Portable scales

    anyone ever use one of the hanging/crane scales to take along on a hunt to weigh your bear in the field? I see a few for sale online with a 660lb max and they aren't very expensive but just wondering if they are junk, or if anyone has any experience with one or recommendations. Would prefer...
