    Wide Boots for Goofy Feet

    Might look into some mid-height Keen's. I find they have a wide to box and are very light weight. I too have some hard to fit feet. If $ don't count, he could get a custom boot from Russell Moccasin. The price has me holding off on there line of boots for the moment. LaGriz

    WTB In Search of .338-06

    Palongshanks, If you can't locate a Weatherby, consider picking up a long action bolt gun of your choice and have it re-bored or re-barreled. For around $500 was able have this work performed by my local smith on a walnut stocked Winchester Pre-64 M70. Mike sent the barreled action to JES...

    When The Moose Call You

    Kevin, I can see your point. If a partner proves to be excessively negative, needy, bossy, or unpleasant when he doesn't get his way, I will not what him along. I do prefer to hunt alone during the daylight hours for the most part anyway. I do however, find it advantageous to share...

    Trekking Poles

    Have utilized a walking stick while packing meat, but have resisted carrying trekking pools until now. Are the carbon poles quieter compared to the aluminum? I have a cheep aluminum (no flip locks- plastic grips- too shinny - & maybe too loud ) set my Mom gave me 10 years ago and have never...

    Cabelas Bargain Cave

    My beef with them is they chose to replace my 20 + year old Cabelas Via account with a lame CC deal. I could get better points (2X or 3X depending on the item) if I picked up a similar card out of the clear blue? No customer loyalty even considered in the equation. I cashed in my points and have...

    WTS Zeiss Victory 10x45 T* RF For Sale

    +1 I have these same Victory RF Binos in 8X45 configuration. I love them and would recommend them to anyone. Having the rangefinder built into the Binocular is awesome. One less thing to juggle. When your looking at reference or an animal, only a quick touch is needed and you have the range. Can...

    Naturally Good Shooters

    They said that Ted Williams was an incredible shot with 20-15 eyesight. As a fighter pilot he is credited with a air-to-air kill with only a minimal burst form his plane's guns. I think he flew a F-86 Saber jet. On the ball field he claimed he could see the seams on the baseball and gauge the...

    Anyone gone full circle yet?

    Interesting thread, A few months ago they had some folks on this site taking about the "Gear Fairy" that whispers in our ear "Ooh I want one of them". The "Gear Fairy" can be a bitch that will cost you a lot of money if you let her rule you. I'm weak at times and I find myself at a point in...

    Idaho guy in the market for his first Muzzleloader - what do I look for?

    Marmonts, I have owned a .50 Cal Knight Bighorn rifle for several years that I won at auction while attending a RMEF Banquet . The weapon came with both the musket cap and the 209 rifle primer ignition. The Knight is equipped with a 26" bull barrel and I have never used the musket cap...

    Flat Tires

    I recently read of a situation in "Bugle" where a guy had locking lug nuts on his 4X4 and did not have a key. He was driving on the rim when he met the guy writing the story. The 2 of them tackled the problem and eventually got the lug nut off and the spare in place. These kind of...

    Advice on solo elk hunt or not and more

    Wentworth6, You have all the good advice you need. If you are good friends with these guys I would roll with it. Have your own transportation available, and a clear understanding with the group. Your buds need to be ready work together once an animal is down. Let them know what...

    GStove

    Dennis gale, This looks like a fine stove. What are the specs & dimensions? I don't know what this retails for but it can't be much more than my 4-Dog Ti stove. I'm still shocked that I was willing to shell out so much cash for a quality piece of gear. I guess I was really that...

    Cabela's latest microtex

    +1 on the Microtext, The last set I bought was around 2012. It was in Mossy Oak Tree stand and fit me very well. The shirt had features that allowed freedom of movement, decent ventilation, and seemed to ware pretty well. Have an older version in Predator Fall Gray (favorite pattern) but was...

    Need input to Retro-fit a stove jack to accomodate a smaller pipe

    Here is my issue, Base camp tent is a 12'X12' Cabela's Alakanak. Have been running the "Hunter" model cylinder stove with a 5" nesting tapered pipe. Pipe is tight where it intersects the stove jack and there is a gasket/ring it must pass thru. The pipe is supported a good bit by this...

    Longest burning titanium stove?

    weekender7, The comments you have received on this post come from some very knowledgeable, seasoned veterans. I don't pretend to know what they have forgotten. These same guys influenced me to choose the models I have. I find myself "stove rich" at this moment owning both a 4-Dog...

    Unit 51 NM 1st rifle Elk

    Awesome result rgrx1276, congrats great bull! I hope my PMs helped to some degree. While reading your report I can't help wondering if the tank you were describing was the same one I told you about. I had not hunted that part of the unit since 2000. It is likely that the elk are still...
