    Kryptek Aegis Extreme/Sitka Coldfront Experience?

    I don't have any experience with the Aegis, but I own both a Blizzard parka and pants and a set of Coldfronts. The Blizzards are like wearing a sleeping bag. Even walking when it's -20 here in Saskatchewan they get pretty warm. The Coldfront is still pretty warm, but works pretty good if...

    Kuiu Yukon or first lite SEAK....

    I had a similar experience to Kotaman's. My Yukon rain gear was bombproof for the first two seasons that I wore it. 5 days into my guide season this year it failed. When I got back to camp water had soaked through both the shell and the pants. I tried retreating them with some Nikwax and it...

    What's broken?

    My Kuiu Yukon rain gear failed epically while guiding in the Yukon this season. Hoping they'll warranty it, but I'll have a tough time trusting it now.

    Need A spotting scooe

    I was really impressed by the S2, and preferred it to the ATS I looked through. I ended up getting a great deal on an ATX, otherwise I think I would have gone with the S2. I also looked through the Zeiss 20-75 x 85mm, and did like the ability to crank it up to 75x, but I was leery about going...

    KUIU Bino Harness Opinions

    I've ran the Kuiu bino harness the last two years and my biggest complaint is debris getting in. I have to get through a lot of alders where I guide and they drop a lot of leaves and dust. I ordered a new Sitka harness and an AGC to try out for this upcoming fall.

    Clothing recommendation needed for SK

    It was too bad that Raven Wear closed their doors, I used to have some of their clothing and it kept me warm for a lot of years. That being said, for whitetail hunting here in Saskatchewan I wear Woolpower 400 g/m bottoms and top, Sitka Kelvin lite pant, Kuiu super down jacket and over top of...

    Kowa TSN-774 or Swarovski ATS 80??

    I'm in the same boat trying to decide between these two scopes. I played with them both at a shop in Calgary a while ago and I'd have to give a slight edge to the Kowa optically. I don't know how it is to deal with Kowa for warranty, and also I wasn't a fan of the lack of rubber armour on the...

    kimber montana

    Yes they are. They handle the warranty claims for Kimber in Canada now. I've been told that they did a good job of addressing some of the issues that Leopold's CS used to have up here, although I have no personal experience with them.

    kimber montana

    I know Kimber's CS here in Canada used to be downright awful, some of the stories I've heard were worse than some of the horror stories I've heard from south of the 49th. Hopefully now that it's being handled by the Korth Group it has improved. Finding a dealer with a Montana in stock in...

    kimber montana

    I currently own a Montana in a 30-06 and I've been happy with the rifle so far. Haven't shot one in a 338 wm, but I have shot one in a 325 wsm and the recoil in that was not something you would want to shoot from a bench all day. If you're looking to get a lighter rifle I'd go with the .30-06...

    Question for Elk calibers

    If you feel confident in it and don't try anything unrealistic from your 25-06, I would say use it. I've collected a lot of samples from hunters using .243's and .25-06's for both elk and moose.

    Yellowstone Wolf Article...

    While there is plasticity in the phenotypes of wolves, there is not the same differences in wolf populations as there is in domestic dogs. If this were the case we would see statistically significant differences in the sizes of arctic wolves vs wolves in the rocky mountains in Alberta and BC or...

    Yellowstone Wolf Article...

    No, there is not. While wolves in North America have been broken into several subspecies, these subspecies are not based on any differences in genetic markers. Dr. Robert Wayne and Bridgett vonHoldt sequenced the genome of a number of wolves from across North America and found that there is...

    Campfire or not when moose hunting?

    We had a bull moose piss on what was left of the coals in our fire pit one morning about 45 minutes before legal shooting light in Northern Saskatchewan. My dad shot him about an hour later wearing only his red union suit.

    275 h&h

    Guided a guy a couple of years ago who had one. Gun was built on a Weatherby mark v action. He necked down 300 H&H brass to 7mm. While it was different and kind of cool, it seemed a bit redundant with all the fast 7mm's on the market now.

    Watches

    I wear a momentum titan 3. Has an alarm, comfy leather strap, made of titanium and made in Canada. Before that I used a watch that I got free at McDonald's during the Olympics and it worked pretty well for 3 seasons.

    Be Honest!

    I've got a 1916 Lee-Enfield .303 british that my dad bought for $50 back in the early 70's. It consistently puts 3 shot groups into 1 hole at 100 yards.

    Remington 700 5R Gen 2 300WM

    I have a .308 5r (1st gen) and while it is awesome it does have some drawbacks. For hunting whitetails out of a blind or tree stand it's great. They are ridiculously accurate, it took very little load development to get one hole groups. I personally like the palm swell on the HS precision...

    2016 weatherby MKV ultra lightweight

    I've got the MKV Outfitter, which is just a dressed up lightweight. Mine is a 300wby, it consistently keeps groups around .75. Haven't shot one in 308, but I'd just stick with the Montana. I've been trying to buy one in .30-06 myself to go with my .270 wsm Montana.
