    Backpack overload

    Ive had an exo K2 5500, a kifaru hoodlum (6500 cu roughly i think) and bought a kifaru stryker xl(smaller day pack type bag). I havent hunted woth the stryker yet so i cant comment there but the exo and hoodlum are both great at handling loads for me. It is very hard to pick a winner based off...

    5 yards to do target practice. Bare shaft through paper?

    I started shooting through paper last year once i bought a bow press. It opened my eyes on my form flaws that fletching would hide. It was a much needed reality check that i wasnt as good as i thought

    Colorado OTC Units

    I think its a pretty common thought you cant out hike people now adays. With gps and high end clothing and dudes being in insane shape that live there theres no wilderness big enough. And with guides with horses are pretty well limitless. But if theres elk there hunt it

    Sea level to 10,000 :: avoiding altitude sickness

    I love at 900 feet hunted at 12,000 last year. I dodnt have any issues with sickeness. The air is thin so be in shape. I packed a couple of electrolyte packets for each day and made sure to stay hydrated. I would get bad head aches when sleeping but once id get up and get my blood pumping again...

    3/4 mile to 2 miles 15x SLC or spotter?

    Afyer spending a year with 18x binos id have to say a spotter as well. Like said abouve inside a mile 15/18x can do the job but once you start getting past that you can only get a general idea of what something is. And counting tines gets to be real tough. Even on an elk at 2 miles i just...

    Help me see the difference - NL Pure binos

    Coming from maven B-2’s what stood out to me right away was color, fov and depth of view. All are pretty major parts of finding stuff. But everyones dofferent and shelling 3k at binos doesnt kill animals any easier then with your current ones. I love mine and highly recommend them but if your...

    Uhaul Rental for scouting trip?

    Me and my dad rent their bigger trailer each year to haul the fourwheeler and all sorts of un needed camp extras. Its cheap and super convenient. Havent tried an actual truck from them though. But always a cheap postive experience with trailers. Id suggest maybe taking a walk around video...

    Lowa Camino vs Crispi Summit

    I had a pair of summits since ‘18. I still wear them to this day. I loved them and ended up buying another pair a couple months ago on the camo fire sale. I will say over the years they did shrink a hair. Id guess its from putting them close to a propane heater when theyd get damp from hunting...

    Kowa 773 or 883?

    Comment ing mostly to follow but ive been researching these spotters a bit to, im leaning towards buying the 88 if i can sell my maven 18x and then next year scoop up a 55. Or vise versa. Id have to think that would be a perfect well rounded set up. I dont recall many people Starting woth the...

    DIY Public Land Nebraska Archery Mule Deer

    If you read all those posts about the negatives, then you know not to have high hopes for it. That being said i hunted there once woth my buddies a few years ago. I hope to not be in a situation where i dont have any other tags and have to go back, but i would go, opposed to not hunting. We...

    Optics for glassing

    a few years ago i was in your same boat with 12x50 diamind backs. i bought maven B2's next, then a diamind back spotter. a cheap spotter like that is pretty well useless if you have good binos. i wouldn't even consider a cheap spotter. save up for a good one after you have some nice binos. I...
