    Western mountain v kuiu bag

    Bought a Kuiu zero degree bag on a flash sale or something they offered a few months ago- it’s tight in the shoulders for sure. Performance wise- it’s great. Used it on a recent elk hunt where we had snow, rain, wind and temps down into the 12-15 degree range. It was right at home... IMO, on...

    Watch Rant

    I am running a Vestal watch- that has everything I need. barometer, altimeter... it has been indestructible. I think it was a couple hundred dollars. I would buy a new one in a heartbeat if this thing ever dies.

    Swarovski EL or EL Range

    I really like having everything in one package especially on back pack hunts. You can’t go wrong with either system but no way I see myself carrying a range finder again.

    Slc vs el

    In CO last week my buddy and I compared our glass- both our binos were on tripods- He was using 15x56 SLC's and I was using 10x42 EL's. Both are just plain excellent. Where we noticed a difference was when looking into shadows- where the larger and higher powered SLC's shined. We both felt the...

    Swarovski ATX vs ATS spotter

    I have a Swaro cover for all my stuff minus the extender- not sure if they sell a cover for the extender. Maybe someone can chime in on that. As I recall the extender was relatively inexpensive in comparison to the rest of the glass...

    Swarovski ATX vs ATS spotter

    I went ATX for all of the reasons stated above- Took the ATX with the 65 objective to Colorado for a back pack Elk hunt two weeks ago. Next week I head to Idaho with the same objective, 1.7 extender and the BTX for an elk/mule deer hunt where we have the side x sides so weight is less of a...

    Strange Observation in Idaho

    Again- The whole argument of this post is flawed- Increasing the non-resident cost to hunt in Idaho would do nothing to curb outside hunting pressure other than maybe elevate the price above the average Joe being able to take his son hunting... It certainly would do nothing to change other...

    Strange Observation in Idaho

    Headed to Idaho in two weeks for mule deer and elk. How would your proposal affect landowner tags? Would landowners still be free to give them away or do with them what they want? What happens when other states follow your lead and raise their prices for out of state hunters? God knows people...

    Last Minute Idaho Bear Hunt

    I am headed to Idaho next month for a mule deer/elk hunt on a buddies place. Was thinking of doing a few days of bear hunting... Like to do it within an hour or two of Boise... Was thinking of doing an outfitter/bait hunt for a 2-3 days around the 11th of November if anyone has any space...

    I am struggling with my tent decision.

    Just came back to civilization- we had rain, snow and cold wind. The stove made it very comfortable. Can’t imagine not taking a stove ever again.

    OnX or GPS

    No more GPS for me. Love the OnX- love it. Plus with the phone I can digiscope, take pictures, listen to some music at night... A couple of years and a GPS will be like a type writer...
