    Thanks. The Small Northern Hunter looks like a good compromise in size.

    If you were going with just one knife for gutting, skinning and deboning, would you prefer the #1 or #3?

    They definitely get great reviews. My concern is the opposite of yours. My hands are small and I’m used to using a smaller knife so I’m concerned that the #1 will feel like a machete in my hand lol.

    Knife recommendations

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I actually have a Havalon that a friend gave me, but it’s still in the box and I haven’t tried it yet. For some reason I’m not warming up to the idea of having more changeable scalpel like blades to deal with. But maybe I should be rethinking that.

    I’d like to try a fixed blade and willing to spend up to a few hundred bucks if it makes a big difference in steel quality. Ive been reading some reviews on the Grohman D.H. Russell Canadian Belt Knife and am interested.

    I’ve been using a Gerber Gatormate folding knife for close to 20 years. The majority of the animals I’ve dealt with are skinned and deboned on the spot and packed out. I use a scalpel for caping work. I’m not a knife guy so it’s all I’ve ever used, but getting tired of having to sharpen the...

    Replacement for Lowa Tech Lite Hunters??

    Hello, I bought Lowa Tech Lite Hunters from L&S in 2015 and have been using them every year for sheep hunts plus other mountain hunts. I absolutely love everything about these boots except they’ve always been terrible for keeping water out. Now after this years sheep hunt, they’re getting...

    Kuiu Guide Pant vs heavy wool pants?

    For those that have used both for late season deer hunting, which do you prefer? I’ve been using heavy wool pants for a lot of years for deer hunting in cold, snowy sometimes wet weather and now I need to replace them. Not sure if I should go with wool again or try the kuiu guide pant. Deer...

    Thanks for the reply. If you could only have one, would it be the BinoBro or the Marsupial?

    Kuiu bino harness vs OPW BinoBro opinions please

    I'm considering one of these two for my binos. I've never used a harness like these, I've been using butler creek flip up covers on my bino objectives for the past 10 years with great success, and a comfortable shoulder harness. But, I cant get a good fit on my new binos with butler creek caps...

    Kowa TSN-553 Review, By Luke Moffat

    I have been using a Kowa 663 with 20-60x eyepiece since 2011. I hunt stone sheep every year, with goat, caribou and pronghorn hunts mixed in and always carry the spotting scope for these hunts. I really like the 663 but recently got an itch to try the 773 with 25-60WZ so I sold the 663 and got...

    Wiggys waders. Opinions please.

    Wondering if people like using these waders better than shoes or sandles for water crossings? I've been using water shoes but it's so time consuming. Wondering if the waders would be a better choice. Thanks.

    Shell mitten recommendations please.

    I'm looking to get a waterproof shell mitten. Every year on Sheep and goat hunts we always get hit with some cold wet weather, rain, snow, hail....... Any suggestions for a good shell that hopefully won't wet out too fast. Right now I'm using a set of marmot goretex mitts but they have leather...

    Rain gear advice please

    Thanks for the responses guys, I'll be going back out for a goat hunt soon so I washed pants and jacket in tech wash, as usual, but this time I retreated with nikwax TX-Direct spray on. I couldnt find any revive-x here in town so I'll have to order some for next time. I think I'll have to be...

    Rain gear advice please

    I always wash them with Nikwax tech wash but sounds like I'm missing a step. I'll try the Revive-x. Thanks.

    Rain gear advice please

    I dont mind getting a little wet. The problem is getting soaked through with icy water that soaks my inner pants and keeps soaking through so that eventually it soaks all the way down my socks into my boots. At the same time it sucks the body heat up because the cold water keeps coming in. I...

    Rain gear advice please

    I've been hunting goats and stone's sheep for close to 15 yrs now, always using some form of "waterproof breathable" fabric. So far everything seems to soak through pretty easily. The last few years I've been using eVent jacket (integral designs) and eVent pants (westcomb). This year hunting...
