    Mtn Ops flavors - what do you like?

    I’m wanting to order some Ignite and Enduro and I’m wondering which flavors are good - what do y’all like? I ordered some Yeti in Blue Rasberry (it was the only flavor Experticity carries) but it hasn’t arrived yet. Same question on the Yeti flavors. If you mix flavors, let me know your...

    Coffee can shotgun restore (what Raccoon urine can do to metal)

    Yeah, that looks great! Well, all except the coon head, lol!! I get it on that particular gun, though. Lol! Fantastic work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Board Suggestion

    X2 And I AM an outfitter. Lol! That would probably cause me to visit and participate less. I’m all for y’all generating some additional revenue but would prefer almost any way except selling hunts. Plenty of sites for selling hunts. I’d prefer a banner that would say “contributing member” that...

    5 Things Wrong With the Hunting Industry in 2018

    I had to go search on YouTube to find the appropriate video after all the comments. Lol. Sorry for the long reply but there were 5 topics! #1: Its not not sponsorship or endorsement deals that’s the problem, really - it’s the gullible guppy fanboys that swallow every drop of nonsense that falls...

    Boycott Dick's Sporting Goods

    I definitely agree with you, Kevin. The only thing I’d point out is that “sporting goods” stores of today don’t resemble the “sporting goods” stores of 30-40 years ago. When I was growing up, must “sporting goods” stores were small independent stores or regional chains that catered to their...

    Boycott Dick's Sporting Goods

    I already wrote and called them to inform them I, and my family, will no longer be purchasing any products from them or visiting their stores, as a direct result of this policy move. Do they care? Nope. Made me feel better, though. Never even looked at a firearm or hunting stuff their - I bought...

    Sitka Gear

    I don’t think the pattern makes a bit of difference, really. There aren’t many patterns that I haven’t worn at one time or another and they’ve all worked to kill animals. Sitka gear may not be your best option for the very coldest days of the late season in a tree stand but for 90+% of the time...

    Tough outdoor pants

    I’ve had great luck with the Prana and Wrangler pants. I’m a big fan of Kuiu clothes but the attack pants do not stand up to thorns and briars as well as my Pranas, Wranglers or FL Corrugates. The attack pants get runners from every thorn they come in contact with and the others only get one...

    Another firearms dealer dropping out.

    None of these type stores even com close to “relying” on hunters to survive and many (probably most) don’t give a good darn about the politics involved - they’ll go wherever they can find what they need at a price they can afford, period. Most sporting good chains don’t rely on hunting or even...

    Another firearms dealer dropping out.

    That’s a good perspective. Agreed. Personally, I only buy new guns from small shops. I don’t care much for the big stores like Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc. I prefer the small independent gun shops and archery shops where people know what they’re talking about. Every time I do talk to someone in...

    Another firearms dealer dropping out.

    Never heard of them. Being based up there, in liberal nirvana, it’s not surprising, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kuiu Rewards

    Yeah, I think you’re pretty off base with this one. Sure, it’d be a nice gesture if they back dated some rewards. Just like it’d be nice if they sent out a $100 coupon to everyone that buys something this week. It is what it is. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. You didn’t lose anything...

    Tent stove for kuiu summit

    I’d look at the Lite Outdoors stoves. I got the 18” because of the convenience of finding suitable length pieces of wood and it’s only a couple ounces heavier than the 12” version. I’ve been really happy with it and Brennan is VERY easy to work with and will help you find the perfect model for...

    Bug bivy inside floorless?

    The EE bivy would worry me in a floorless shelter because I don’t think it’d be very durable. The Boorah would be a better choice for me. While I like the ultra light weight, I bought a OR Helium bivy that ought to last me a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How effective is HECS Baselayer?

    The ozone thing REAL, that I’ve got to say. In fact, I started rigging my ozonics up to a old garment bag and ‘washing’ my scent out of my clothes nightly, whenever I have it handy. Most of my gear gets a good dousing of ozone now before any hunt- if it’ll fit in that bag. Got some stink to your...

    Kestrel knife or Benchmade Altitude?

    I hear ya. I’m not paying retail or I wouldn’t be able to get either. Lol. I’m not big on expensive knives because I’m too hard on them and I’ve lost a few over the years. I was presented with a chance to buy one of these brands at a lower price, though, I decided I’d give one a try. I don’t...

    How effective is HECS Baselayer?

    There’s not enough evidence for me to invest in something like HECS. That’s not to say that I don’t believe it’s possible that it helps. I thought that ozone was a gimmick. I had a bunch of hunters using Ozonics units when they first came out and they didn’t seem to work. Then I met someone with...

    Bowhunter education question

    If I have a hunter education card from Texas and can show that I’ve had a “Archery” licence (Texas and NM issued) do I still need a “bowhunter” specific hunter education class to hunt Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming or Utah, as a non-resident? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
