    Which SG Frame?

    I went with the X-curve because of my torso length. I'm 6'3 230, large belt. I had no reference because only had used day packs for white tail hunting the last 30 years. I have now made the x-curve my white tail pack. I pack my stand on the frame with a small bag. It is amazing and I really...

    MeatEater and Weatherby?

    I bow hunt (big game, small game) and I bird hunt (duck, goose, turkey, quail). I don't shoot archery, but I practice, and I don't shoot trap or clays, but I'm not against it. I couldn't tell you the first thing about re-loading, dram weight, cam lean, timing, etc. I bought a shotgun from a...

    Spike Camp Planning Tent Help

    That's a crazy story. I can see how things can go bad quickly. Last year at base camp after about 3-4 days of warm weather with an occasional thunderstorm rolling by we got blasted one night by a big thunderstorm followed by a 30 degree temperature drop down into the mid 30's. The next...

    Spike Camp Planning Tent Help

    Never thought about a tipi style. Here in the south bugs dominate the conversation so it is imperative to have well ventilated but functional mesh closures and a well defined floor. Lots of skeeters and creepy crawlies. Thanks for mentioning tipis, definitely opens up some more options.

    Spike Camp Planning Tent Help

    Ha! Good question, but since it's my little brother and we lived in the same room together as little kids 30 years ago we can deal with it just fine. A week last year was a piece of cake. We were so dog tired it didn't matter.

    Dang guys, awesome feedback. I appreciate the great info. Seems like forums are at their best when talking about gear and techniques, not spots and ethics.

    Spike Camp Planning Tent Help

    Guys, Don't know if this is the best place to ask this but have hunted for close to 30 years, (Southeast area for Deer, hog, turkey, waterfowl, etc.) a group of us did our first western archery elk hunt last year on an OTC area. We didn't get one, but had an opportunity on a great bull (6...

    Stone Glacier De Havilland Jacket and Pant Review, by Jared Radosevich

    Thanks for the review. I am very interested in these as well. What do you think the high temp breathability limits would be? I'd like a 3-4 season pant at that pricing structure.

    Your apparel layering technique?

    BCH2 nailed it with his response but here is my twist. Last year in my planning, (first time) for me on an out west hunt I had some low cost and higher end base layers. I really liked the First Lite merino on my skin. The cost is high but damn is it a good feel. After a couple of scout hikes...

    Parking during archery

    In my planning I would never assume access through private. Also in some areas/states it isn't legal to access from private even if the landowner gives permission. I share your anxiety in leaving a vehicle somewhere that isn't a designated parking area.

    Favorite Organizations

    Ducks Unlimited gets a ton of flack from disgruntled duck hunters when they feel that their area isn't getting any love, but they have one mission, and that is to protect wetlands in the high priority breeding and wintering grounds for waterfowl. They are a proven organization and have operated...

    Article made me question my manhood...

    Awesome story, a lot of times when you hear about a wildlife attack there is some shady stuff that the human probably shouldn't have been doing that put the person into a situation that could have been avoided. So far all the reports have been consistent that this was just a dude out for a run...

    Advice for flatlanders?

    Just went for the first time last year, live in Florida. I lost 50 lbs for the trip and needed every bit of that. Cross fit, run, train like a maniac. I'm already prepping for 2019. If you can lunge, push, or drag something that seems to best simulate elevation and back pack weight on flat...
