    Idaho Swan

    How white they are mostly. Size can be a factor. The yellow spot being more pronounced. A lot of folks “accidentally” shoot gray ones (juveniles) being impatient. Back when they used to put blue collars on them was a big deal. I just try to pick out the biggest and whitest bird from a group. The...

    Idaho Swan

    One or two decoys with you and a couple buddies whooping will pull them right in. It’s actually pretty dang fun. Here in Utah during Swan season you’ll hear people whooping all over the marshes along the wasatch front. It’s pretty funny but effective. I’m not sure what your limitations or areas...

    Mounting a rifle on a mystery ranch pintler

    I’ve got a slick sling on my pop up and it’s awesome!

    No BS - Best Bino Harness w/ No Magnet

    I’m getting one to try out. People either love or hate the RY harness. I’m kinda over having an extra heater right in the center of my chest all day.

    Getting away from higher end clothes.

    Ummm I’ve worn these pants doing commercial construction work which is waay harder on pants than a back country hunt and they actually held up damn fine. This is several pairs. I’d have no problem using these as a primary early season type pant. One things for sure, you definitely don’t need to...

    Best rechargeable headlamp

    If you want some really solid info go check out mindful hunters review on YouTube. The only kicker is he didn’t compare the exact same batteries when doing the test. I will say though I’ve taken both my sofirns out for me and my boy on camp outs and I’ve never killed a battery. Even upgrading to...

    Too many choices, help me choose a daypack

    Really like the MR pop up for a daypack. But it would be nice to build up a whole system with one of the pack companies with a small bag and a large bag to swap out on one frame system. But overall for myself I am very happy with the pop up I own. I use it for everything.

    newbie duck hunter, give me advice on a super basic set of decoys

    This comment is about as accurate as they get! I’ve had lots of hobbies but waterfowling is by far the most expensive. It doesn’t have to be but if you end up loving it you’re in for a ride!

    Another vehicle thread

    My dad used to tell me this all the time. And he sold cars for a living for a long time.

    What's your favorite caliber?

    I’d say a .270. I’m just a fan of tried and true with easy to find ammo.

    Daypack: Kuiu Venture divide 3000 vs Sitka Mountain 2700

    I know you said you don’t have need for meat hauling but the shelf can be used for so much more. I have a hard time thinking of a better day pack than the mystery ranch pop ups. Pick your size. I’d definitely at least watch a couple videos on them. I use mine all the time. Not just hunting...

    Best hunting pants for short legs

    Almost forgot I also bought a pair of the xkg field pants and they’re also perfect size. Have t had a chance to use them as much yet but the fit is good.

    Best hunting pants for short legs

    Kings short inseams are on point. They make most of their pants in short inseams. I’m a fan. Own the lone peak, preacher and Freyr. All 3 fit perfect. Love the lone peaks for when it’s cold. Wouldn’t do any crazy hiking in them because they’re insulated. The preacher pants are my favorite all...

    Alternative to Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants

    Another fan of the wranglers here. Use them for work and daily wear. Especially for the price.

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Sounds like it’s time for a stake out!

    Recommend pants with knees pads

    I’ve been happy with the Kings Preacher pant. Can get them on sale fairly regular. Probably my favorite all around pant

    Curious on bullets for moose

    You’d be pushing it 😂

    Curious on bullets for moose

    Folks sure do seem to get over dramatic about moose. Either of those set ups should do the job just fine. I mean you could opt for artillery rounds out of a tank if you REALLY want to get the job done though

    Swarovski to release 14x NL’s

    This is not a bad thing at all :)

    Insulated or uninsulated for all purpose??

    Definitely uninsulated. Even 200 would be brutal if you’re hiking any amount. My feet can often get hotter than I care for in uninsulated.
