If you’re looking for a pack to carry baby in go with the osprey poco. Also get the rain cover for it. It adds an extra layer to keep wind and precipitation off your kiddo. I have a 9 month old and have been using that since he could hold his head up. He rides so smooth he falls asleep half the...
I have a Springfield waypoint 6.5 prc that has roughly 350 rounds through it. I started blowing primers out of Hornady eldm 147 grain factory loads. Blowing primers is inconsistent meaning I can shoot 2 rounds and third round blows. Shoot 10 rounds and round 7 and 10 blow. Very random and...
I have had issues at elevation with canisters before. It's only happened to me two times and its been at or above 11,000 feet. The best thing I've found is to take a knife or something with a fine point and push into the canister to equalize the pressure.
Fritschi FT-88 bindings for sale. I picked them up a few years ago and have never used them. They are in good shape, they have small cracking on the heel lock pins. These bindings allow you to use any kind of boot with them, including hiking or hunting boots. Comes with all hardware and mounting...
I have the Revic Hunter tripod. I've had it for about 6 months now and so far, I'm really impressed. I've done some shooting off of it using varying calibers and as long as you manage your recoil it holds steady.
My one issue is the weight. For backpacking it's a pig to carry around but it...
I have a pair of Crispi Colorado's and they are super comfy for my feet. I wear them everyday. And I wear them for early season stuff, like antelope, archery deer, rifle deer. I step up my boot game when I hit elk season or I'm in high mountains. For those trips I wear La Sportiva Grand Dru...
I've had more success with cow calling during that time frame than bugling. If I remember right, some cows will go into a second cycle if they didn't get bred the first go around. I'm no biologist so if I'm wrong I apologize. But they will come into a cow call.
I have a solo hilleberg. I did what everyone above mentioned. Cut the zipper pulls and the guy lines and replace it all with 1.8mm cord. I also tied a purrisk knot on the guy lines for tensioners. Beyond that you're going to start shaving weight at the cost of durability and functionality.
Most of my guns are right at 3 pounds. I usuually hunt later seasons where I'm wearing gloves. I played with 2 pounds for a while, but I was clacking off rounds when I was ready.
The best thing I've found is pack a lightweight tarp with you and use it as a sun shade. It helps keep access light out which also reduces glare.
Also understanding wildfire behavior. Generally, you will have more smoke/haze at first and last light, which of course screws up the ideal time to...
A rear bag is a crucial piece of equipment. I've been playing around with several different styles. The only not home made one I've used is a Red Tac Rear bag. It's pretty firm and is filled with the hard plastic beads and weighs 1lb 7oz. Now When I'm backpack hunting, I keep the mantra of...
I grew up on the opposite side of Wyoming from Cheyenne. Best state in the union in my opinion. I went to college in Laramie. Really fun town. The college football games are an absolute blast.
The snowy range is a great area to cut your teeth on western hunting. Particularly archery hunting. I...
Hey what's up everyone. Been on rokslide for a long time and finally decided to become a member of the forum. I've been a consumer for so long I decided to contribute. Hopefully my 30 short years of experience can help someone.
I am originally from Wyoming and moved to Eureka Nevada in January...
