    liver shot with a rifle

    I have limited experience with elk but a lot of whitetail experience. Over the past 5 years I’ve liver shot 2 whitetail. In my experience they bed down fairly quickly but will take quite a while to die. Also both were archery hits. One was a doe that I jumped up after waiting about 4 hours...

    Extremely sharp

    I definitely have a love hate relationship with my havalon. While I have yet to cut myself while installing or removing blades, I have nicked myself damn near every time I’ve broke down an animal with it. Last year i went with the cut resistant glove on a pack in elk trip I was on. Had to...

    How often does everyone upgrade their packs?

    Same set up that I have. Would love to try the k4, just not sure it would be that big of an improvement over my k2. I love that pack.

    Truck Buying Help

    I drive an 03 silverado and plan on keeping for a few more years before I’m looking to upgrade. I was talking with a buddy of mine that is a 35 year mechanic at our local Chevy dealership about replacing my truck. He says he wouldn’t buy any of the newer GM trucks. He says the 2015 - 18 were...

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    - Platypus water filtration system. Took my old sawyer filter with me without trying it before my trip last year. It was almost completely plugged. Good thing I was with a buddy and he had a new system. - Puffy pants. Got a good deal on a puffy jacket from a guy on this site. Just need to...

    Kuiu fit recommendations

    There is know way you could wear large tops. I’m 5-10” 165 and a large fits me perfect. You will definitely want to start with XL. The pants are fairly true to size for me, maybe a little more snug but not much.
