    Help, Light Hiker vs Boot

    So I went and ordered some Nikwax waterproofing and some brambler gaiters from first lite. I had a gift card to FL that I was sitting on so it made sense. I'm going to try to freshen up my Moabs and train with the gaiters on with 60-70lb pack load and see if I'm liking the set up. I'm really...

    Help, Light Hiker vs Boot

    Hunted last year in some light hikers (Merrell Moab's), put 6-8 miles a day on them through some intermediate terrain (Colorado elk hunt). Had a little bit of an issue with wetness one day (post giant thunderstorm), but liked the overall performance. I do a little bit of running and a lot of...

    "Conservation" = "More ungulates"?

    You say you're a new hunter and I truly ask this with respect; why do you care what the cynics think? When you've been doing this for 30 straight years you learn after awhile that you can't worry about the cynics. Conservation, ethics, natural, restoration, pre-european, man-made, historic...

    Elk hunting pack

    Used Stone Glacier X-curve frame would be my recommendation. I haven't been in this game long but my group all got different set ups and they all liked my brother's and mine SG set up the best. EXO seems really legit too. From my little experience it seems worth it to focus the finances on a...

    There’s a special spot in hell for poachers....they’re punishment, Pat Durkin sits down and tells them stories all day.

    I like this last podcast and I like the comedy component. There really isn't/aren't many folks out there like us hunters that would laugh at "hunt" humor like we do.

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    I didn't say that, but 17% of CPW wildlife budget comes from PR alone as per their 2014-15 report. Those are CPW's statistics. It's already been mentioned but are you willing to give up the non Colorado funded portions of national forest, NWR's and BLM land. I'm leery of anyone who like to...

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    Are you willing to give up Pitman-Robertson and LWCF funds so you can "own" the game in "your" state. How about those pesky Interstates 70 & 25. I guess we should rip them out too. You know because then you CO guys could "own" them without all those pesky non-residents funding them.

    X curve

    Picked up a SG sky archer for my x-curve and am really looking forward to using it this year. Put about 2/3 my gear and a 40lb bag of salt on the load shelf and it felt great with plenty of options to compress down or expand out based on the scenario.

    Spot Hogg Hogg Father Review, by Zach Herold

    Just looking for some help with my new Fast Eddie set up. I haven't paper tuned the bow yet. Was wondering about where I should set the bar length? In my mind the farther out the sight is the better the potential accuracy. My plan is to slide it short for travel and extend to the longest...

    Backcountry First Aid & Survival Kits, By Travis Bertrand

    This was a confusing component of your first post. EFFECTIVE or INEFFECTIVE? All tourniquets or "makeshift" tourniquets? Like I have mentioned before, "tourniquet" discussion is dynamic and ever changing but stopping bleed, and the importance of doing so, is undeniably important. Thanks...

    Backcountry First Aid & Survival Kits, By Travis Bertrand

    Good article. There is no perfect kit and kits should be tailored to the capabilities of their owners as you have mentioned. The common things like allergy, blisters, splinters, altitude sickness, dehydration, exposure are very real and common issues. We worry about the big stuff even when...

    Are binoculars and a bino harness neccessary?

    I feel lost without bino harness and binos. Started wearing them for scouting ducks here in the east many years ago with the simple $20 stretch style straps. I hated the chafing of wearing them with the strap around my neck so made that switch early. I duck hunt lots of public land so I'd...

    A Little Help with Tent to finish my sleep system

    Noseeums seem to be getting worse every year. The Thermacells help a little but only take the suck level from terrible to extremely annoying. The good thing about hunting for 30 plus years in Florida is you appreciate any where else.

    A Little Help with Tent to finish my sleep system

    Thanks guys for the help. So many options I'm feeling like I'll probably be acquiring multiple set ups over time.

    A Little Help with Tent to finish my sleep system

    I'm whittling my choices down to a couple of options. My issues are slightly different than most traditional backpacking tent applications. The issue I have is I'd like the tent to do some odd double duty. I live in Florida and really need a bug proof, storm resistant shelter for the hot...
