    Lowa Tibet Vs Crispi

    My first Tibets (Hi version, std width) are from ~2015. I just got a new pair last year and they have relocated the stud on the tongue a bit higher up and added webbing to the heel eyelet. the eyelets below the locking ones are ball bearing. My feeling is that the new version (I have 11.5 in...

    Lowa Tibet Vs Crispi

    To me, the camino was a slightly narrower fit than Renegade and less toe box width especially at the metatarsal area. This was a few years ago, so things could be different. I was disappointed in the fit of both compared to my Tibets for some reason. I had the camino in a wide version, and it...

    Optics Advice

    What I settled on for mule deer (and all other recent mountain hunts): 12x50 bino w/adapter 25-60x 77mm spotter The spotter will sometimes stay in the truck, depending on the situation. I had a pair of 15x56 binos but sold them and got the 12s.

    Pendleton, OR

    I lived on the south side of town, south of I-84 up near the hospital, and liked that area. The business district and old part of town is in the old river flood plain behind a levee system. The north hill area is pretty desirable and has a mix of housing options. The rental market was tight...

    Pendleton, OR

    I lived there for 8 years. Not sure what draw odds are for spring bear for NR. Turkey are distributed across the Blues, and the hunting can be great. There are off-columbia river waterfowl opportunities you can try without a boat. Three national wildlife refuges and Wanaket which is managed by...

    Best Ramen Brand?

    Lotus or King Soba brown rice ramen. Homemade bone broth or powdered depending on if I'm car camping or not. The noodles take ~5min of simmering to cook but way better than the instant stuff IMO. You can add any of the above items to make it interesting. I dry mushrooms that I grind to a powder...

    October Rifle Elk in Colorado

    Go early if you can to scout, it’s a short season. In my time there they’d still be bugling first day of season but seemed to quiet quickly after the guns started. I bugled in a bull for my wife a few years ago, so never hurts to have your calls along.

    2 person lightweight tent (on the cheap)

    I’ve done a lot of backpack elk hunting with my LT. Tough to beat if you’re good going floorles. And if you and your son are average size it would be fine on space IMO.

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    I had a personal vehicle with no trailer. The Cassiar was totally fine but you have to pay attention and look for pot holes. In fact, the Alcan washed out south of Watson Lake, so was sure glad I took the "backroad"! It would have been a huge detour, like 1500 miles. I got lucky. There are...

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    I didn't have time to hike it, but I think I glassed the right areas from the power line. Unfortunately it was rainy with haze when I came through. Didn't see any sheep but found a decent billy. It's beautiful country.

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    I’ll keep those in mind if I ever make the drive back down. Going up this time on the cassiar.

    Journal of a Trapper by Osborne Russell worth it for the description of the wildlife and sheer amount of country they traveled.

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    Not this time, moving to Alaska. I had a hell of a time deciding on which route to take. Going up through Jasper, then on to Prince George and the Cassiar. If I ever drive back down I’ll try the alcan

    Thanks. Fuel and phone issues noted! I have already reserved a spot at Boya and Mezidian lake.

    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    thanks! appreciate the pointer. I'll see what I can find out about that locale. We're spending a few nights camping on the Cassiar, so we will have time to stop and check stuff out.
