On Wednesday my wife and I welcomed our first kids into the world, twin daughters Caitlyn Anne and Makaela Marie tipping the scales at 5lbs 13oz and 5lbs 14oz's. We are very glad both are happy and healthy especially after 17 long weeks of partial bedrest for my wife and her putting up with me...
Thanks for the heads up Paul. I'm still getting my new Razor binos broken in so guess I can wait a little longer for the spotter. Maybe next rounds.
Cant wait to hear from Beastmode and Dotman on how they like em.
Good point Jeff. It looks like my current setup is about 39.5 ounces, 2.46 pounds. My pot is a lot heavier than I thought. I usually only go through one of the 230g canisters a week depending on the weather.
Looks like the 2.6lbs was for the heaviest one, they have a medium that is 2.1. I'd...
REI minimalist bivy sack - did not breathe
Leupold RX-2 rangefinder - could never get it to work reliably
Badlands sacrifice - most uncomfortable ever even with light loads
Mike, I like your timeshare idea. If anyone in western Oregon is interested in this let me know. I'd love for my goats to get out more than they do.
Brian, I haul mine in a horse trailer only because I happened to have one. I have friends that just use the bed if the pickup with wood racks.
Out of the six goats I have three are alpines, two are boer sannan crosses, and one is a pure sannan. I've paid anywhere from 125 off of Craigslist to $300 from a breeder for a trained goat. All of them have about the same work ethic but I'd recommend the money for a trained ready to pack goat...
Oh and I don't have any issues leaving them high-lined in camp while hunting. They generally are very quiet. My favorite part is that they don't drink very much water at all. For example on an 8 day mule deer hunt this year with temps in the low 80's each day they only drank every three days or...
I have been packing with goats for about 5 years now. They are awesome and easy to keep in the off season.
Generally take between 2 and 4 depending on where we are going and whether it's elk or deer. Pack a 12 man Kifaru tipi with a medium stove. My goats will pack between 30 and 45 pounds...
Not match while hunting!! I agree the gunmetal would be pretty useless for hunting but I figure I'd only be wearing it while glassing. Plus I've always wanted to wear my spin-drift around town but not much into rocking camo everywhere.
What I should really do is just not buy it at all since I...
