Everything inhave read anout the omnia has said it is a sweet shooting bow and no one has ever described the draw cycle as harsh or rough or less than good. Is this a comparative thing vs the other two or...

    Montana elk guided hunt.

    I used Montana Whitetails as they provde elk hunts and when i went in 2020 it took one pref point and one extra point, so three points should be ok (point creep is possible tho hopefully not). They were a fun outfit, based in a nice lodge and guides were all good. The owner is a good guy...

    Lost First Deer

    Couple things here, the OP did everything he could after the shot to recover the deer. Getting a dog within a day is about as much as you can do, and property lines make for some difficult tracks sometimes. Couple of points to be made about the preshpt: 1. Shoot more doe. I went thru this...

    Need help with choosing new base layer

    The new sitka merino wool is pretty good. Washable and dryable (in normal machine cycles) unlike normal merino, but wears like regular merino and doesnt funk up like a synthetic. Super comfortable too. I have the 220 weight and it works great as a base layer in southern OK, but for real cold...

    Kuiu divide 3000 vs 2000

    As i typically xbow hunt on my property, i dont have the extensive use for multiple species nor a need to carry a bunch if stuff in it, so i appreciate the info. I find the space usable but compressible as you stated. The belt fits my back well but if i were a little taller i feel it might...

    Kuiu divide 3000 vs 2000

    I would love to hear your thoughts on the 3000 from this season, so i can add/compare my thoughts as i ended up buying the same pack and have used it this season (tho not as diversely as you have). Might help others looking at this pack.

    Hunting outerwear vs ski wear

    I used my ambiet hoodie and jacket as mids under my ski jacket shell, with a base under the ambient. Depending on the temp and the level of exertion skiing, i was either completely comfortable or sweating some. Definitely use the same base layers when hunting and the only dedicated ski gear is...

    Question for crossbow hunters

    I unload it at the end of each hunt if other people are around or i am hunting with someone else, but in the heat of the season i typically leave it loaded all day for both morning and evening sits and its just me and wife/son around. I used to buy those de-cocking bolts, but i jist have a...

    Kuiu proximity vs sitka

    I know i probably run warmer than you do, but i wear and have worn my status bibs down into the low teens with some layers including a puffy pant layer. I will easily wear the stratus bibs in the 50’s with a simple base layer. In the 30’s i double the base layer and good to go. For me...

    Anyone else catch the eclipse?

    I hand held some eclipse sunglasses to my phone and it did OK. I wasnt in the full ring of fire range in the DFW area, we were just a little too far north

    Spotter Scope comparisons / Recommendations

    Kowa is as good or better than swaro glass and a better focus at a significant discount. Buy swaro for the name recognition or potential resale, buy kowa for the function and use.

    Cataract lens choice?

    Jim, You didn’t mess up, so don’t worry about that. There are lots of visual phenomena you will experience in the first couple weeks that will get better as time goes on. The rings around lights will get better, but you might not notice a big improvement in them till you get the second eye...

    Cabelas Alaskan Guide 6P vs Stone Glacier Dome 6P

    I failed to mention, the alaskan guide tent was not guyed out at all during the wind storm. I dod guy it out after that night, but didnt think the need to do it before the wind storm. I had been down there twoce before and never experienced wind like that, tho we typically got around a 25-30...

    Cataract lens choice?

    I second that emotion 100%. The typical monofocal lenses made by alcon and J&J and some others do a great job of giving computer distance as well as distance vision, but some monofocals don’t have the same effect. Monovision, where one eye is set for dostance and one set for near can be...

    Sitka Ambient UL 60 Hoody

    Anxious to hear some reports about the 60 UL piece. I am not a big vest guy, but i really have been pleased with the function of the ambient hoody and jacket. The 60 could be a great hybrid base-mid piece

    Cataract lens choice?

    I am a cataract surgeon who does a lot of surgery. I put a lot of different lenses in peoples eyes and they all boil down to 3 choices: 1. Monofocal/single focal lens. This is covered by inaurance but it can be a great option for people who do not have much astigmatism, and dont mind...
