    KUIU System Questions

    If any one has additional input on vests I would appreciate it too. They seem fairly popular but I guess I don’t really get the point. I can’t think of a situation where a vest would be more beneficial than a full layer, no matter the weight or material.

    Yes I think I would have preference for the full zip too, especially over the 97 hoodie

    KUIU System Questions

    I have Sitka DewPoint rain gear, I can try that but there’s no extra insulation to it. I keep considering the Axis, because in my Sitka system I absolutely love the Jetstream. I hike in wearing a Tshirt and the LW Hoodie then throw it on whenever I stop and it keeps me warm to freezing temps...

    KUIU System Questions

    This looks a lot like what I was going to build. Do you ever feel like you would need an Axis jacket for windier days or riding an atv?

    Sounds like what I’ve heard about the guide jacket. I’ll definitely consider getting rid of a heavier mid layer in favor of an Axis and a puffy

    KUIU System Questions

    I was planning on using the 240 basically like a outer glassing layer when conditions allow for it. I’d most likely just be wearing one of the lighter base layers with the 97

    KUIU System Questions

    You find the 125 still worth it even with the 97 over top? Or would I be too warm when moving?

    KUIU System Questions

    If I wanted something 100% windproof for the late season, would I be better off skipping the 240 for a different mid layer and the Guide/Axis? Last season I ran a Sitka LW SS and Sitka LW Hoody when I was hiking in the morning. Once I sat down I would just throw on my Jetstream and it was...

    KUIU System Questions

    Which merino base do you choose for those temps? The 125 or 145? I don’t have a lot of time in merino but I’ll definitely be adding the 97 to my kit with the recommendations here.

    How has the strongfleece worked out for you? Would something like the Strongfleece 280 be better or worse for a soft shell outer layer than the 240?

    KUIU System Questions

    If I were to have the 97 on in the morning while I’m moving, would I be better off to have a 240 jacket/vest for glassing or should I jump straight to a puffy? I have the Sitka Dew Point rain gear, it’s great for rain but super thin and very loud to actually hunt in.

    KUIU System Questions

    I'm looking for some input on a KUIU system I am putting together for hunts this fall and winter. I've been doing some browsing on here and other places trying to decide on which number between 97 and 280 of KUIU shirts to buy. I hold two tags in Southern NM, one in November and one in January...

    First Coues Hunt Questions

    I'm looking for some advice on my first Coues tag. I hold a FAD tag for SW NM during the second rifle hunt, 11/12-11/16. I work in this unit, so I have pretty extensive knowledge of access, property lines, etc. I have identified an area that I can access that is surrounded by private. If this...

    Sitka - Help me pick!

    Seems like you’ve already gotten a lot of advice and decided on your purchase, but I’ll add some just because I’ve used that gear in NM specifically. Jetstream is probably the best clothing item I’ve ever bought. It does everything well, just don’t wear it hiking unless it’s super windy and...

    Let’s see/hear what’s in your quiver this year

    Kudu 125s with bleeders on FMJ 400s. Coming out of a 65lb 28in draw RX-5.

    Off topic, but I think you may want to look at the draw odds again.

    Leupold Tripod Head

    I'm familiar with this head, we use them where I work. They're very sturdy, but do you find it to be heavier than necessary for what you use?

    Leupold Tripod Head

    I'm considering the Sirui, it looks like a great option and fits the bill of what I want.

    The Outdoorsmans look great but they are very pricey

    Is a 70 pound bow with an Iron Will broad head enough to blow through an elk at 60-70 yards?

    If you can hit it in a spot where you can get a pass through, yes. Just better be able to hit that spot when you’re exhausted from not just a day, but days worth of hiking and hunting, maybe out of breath and with your heart beating through your chest and adrenaline pumping.
