    Are they good eating ?

    I’ve eaten quite a few northern BC caribou bulls and it’s easily one of my favorite wild meats. All the bulls we’ve had were killed in the first two weeks of sept. I find that the meat at that time has a bit of fattyness to it that leaves a little bit of a film in your mouth. I haven’t...

    Wyoming Antelope Results Tomorrow!

    Got very lucky this year. My group drew antelope area 83 as first choice. We must have got drawn in the NR random draw because we had just over 1 pref point avg for the group. There were only 6 random tags available and we must have gotten 5 of them, unless I’m reading all the info wrong lol...

    How many points do I need for a decent hunt in WY?

    Starting in 2012, myself and family members have hunted NR antelope in Wyoming 5 times. Our last trip was 2019 and was the only year we used pref points. I think we averaged just under 6 for the group. We’ve always gotten an area we are familiar with as a second choice. In 2013 we actually...

    Kifaru Lost Park Parka questions

    Thanks for the reply’s guys, I appreciate it. Here’s the reply I just got from Kifaru. Looks like sizing is the same. Good afternoon, Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, the fit for our parkas will be the same for the half-zip as well as the full-zip. If you find the half-zip to be...

    Kifaru Lost Park Parka questions

    I’m looking for some feedback on the fit of the Full Zip version vs the Half Zip version in the same size. I have the Half Zip Lost Park Parka in small and I find it to fit really big almost everywhere, even though I normally find a good fit with jackets in size small. For those that have...

    That looks pretty good as an all in one knife for backpack hunts. I haven’t seen these before.

    I’m not sure what knife is next for me, but you’ve definitely peaked my interest with this Semi Skinner by Dan Crotts. I guess I’ve started my way down the knife rabbit hole after 20+ years of using the same knife. No stopping now 😝

    Just to update this thread. I now own a LT Wright Small Northern Hunter, Benchmade Altitude, and a Grohman #1 belt knife. The LT Wright Small Northern Hunter is beautiful, but for me it’s not as ergonomic and nimble as the Grohman #1. I just used the #1 to get a Mule deer buck ready for...

    hot tent stove question

    Very hard to extend the burn time because it’s hard to control the air getting into these non-airtight stoves. I try to stoke the stove with the largest chunks I can fit, preferably knots, just before bed. I also use a damper on the chimney. I’ve used a folded and crinkled up slab of tinfoil...

    Kifaru Gun Bearer FTW

    My big pack is a Mchale Critical Mass ll, and the day pack is an Eberlstock.

    Kifaru Gun Bearer FTW

    Same here, I’ve been using one for 13 years or so and would be lost without. I have one on my big pack and one on my day pack. I used to just have one that I’d switch back and forth but one year on our stone sheep hunt I forgot the top strap at home on the day pack. Had to field rig a strap...

    Best Binocular Harness/Case

    I own 3 different brands and they are all I’ve ever tried and I tend to modify a lot of my gear rather than switching between a bunch of brands. I just can’t help it. I don’t know if there’s a perfect harness but I know I want 3 main things 1) simple low profile design, I don’t want a bunch of...

    Water filter recommendations?

    I’ve been using an MSR Hyperflow for over 10 years and it has worked well. This year we used a platypus 2 liter gravity on our sheep hunt and it worked great. It easily filtered water just as fast as my Hyperflow, but without the exercise. Then we went caribou hinting and used a 10 liter...

    Jetboil Minimo or MSR Windburner?

    I was going through this same decision a couple years ago whether to go Jetboil or Windburner. When you read reviews and comments, everyone seems to like the one they have so I don’t think there is a bad choice. The thing that swayed me to the Windburner was that every time I found a comment...

    Which sleeping bag and pad

    For backpacking trips I use either an Exped Downmat 7 or an Exped Winterlite Downmat. For sleeping bag the last couple years I’ve been using a UGQ down quilt 0 deg F.

    Things are getting out of control now :p I have the Small Northern Hunter on the way, then I found a Grohmann #2 stainless with resin handle, flat grind at a good price so now that’s on the way as well lol. I’ll probably become a knife guy now.

    Thanks again everyone. The choices are endless. I’ve never been a knife enthusiast, which explains why I’ve been deboning animals for the last 20 years with the same knife, but I may have to become one and start accumulating some knives. For now I’ve decided to order the LT Wright Small...

    I just checked their website and I could get a #3 factory second at a good discount and order a #1 for a good total price.
