    A moment of silence:my frame has died

    Well, after a lot of years, miles and pack-outs my beloved Kifaru Bikini frame broke. I tried a lot of other pack set ups over the years, but i always came back to that frame. It didn't owe me a single mile more, but damn it was steady companion and it met my needs. Ah well. The only constant...

    Ruger #1 Build suggestions

    A question for my fellow quirky rifle fans: What would your ultimate Ruger #1 "sort of back-country" rifle look like? Something in that 7 1/2-8lbs all in with the ability to be a consistent 450 yard effective round from deer through moose. A current take on a classic highlands stalking rifle...

    The future of BC Sheep

    Had a birthday last week, and acknowledging i have more seasons in the mountain behind me than ahead has had me in a reflective mood. I know a lot of the folks in this section of the forum are non-resident hunters hoping to chase sheep in BC (or elsewhere in western Canada) so i'll share some...

    B.C. Bluetongue outbreak

    With the drought year we have had this was a concern. https://www.castlegarnews.com/news/disease-reportedly-kills-off-dozens-of-bighorn-sheep-near-grand-forks/ Hope it doesn't spread into the Fraser population.

    WTS FS Kifaru Bikini and G2 Duplex

    A couple of bargain frames for young hunters or for those testing the waters of backpacking. These are bare frames (no bags or accessory straps). Both frames are sound, but they have seen a lot of use and as such have wear and tenacious tape repairs. The Bikini Frame is 26", flat back profile...

    Comparable to Leupold VX3i?

    Love the VX3i 2.5-8x36, but it seems they are to be no more. Any suggestions for a light weight dependable scope that is similar? I'm a "450 and in" shooter, so i don't need the big magnification or turrets.

    The future is...South Cox?

    It seems Mr. Cox has purchased not only A&H Archery but Dryad bows as well. I am curious to see what he does with O.L Adcock's proprietary limb designs. Might be time to look at getting on the waitlist...

    when the world made sense

    I was listening to the JRE podcast with Aron Snyder, and it struck me when Aron mentioned locking his rifle in his principal's office during deer season when he was a kid in high school. I had the same experience as a pup (i think i'm only about five years older than A.S.). The first day of...

    "That" gun

    I'm sure we all have one. "That" gun. It may not be pretty, or as light as we would like it to be. Maybe the caliber is on the edge what is considered effective (or overkill) for the game we chase with it sometimes. It may have sentimental value and bring great memories in the field or maybe it...

    It cuts both ways

    I was listening to KifaruCast with the Josh Bowman Interview (part 2), and i was struck by the double bind of language when they began to discuss the anthropomorphisation of predators (bears in particular) by the public. It went down the usual rabbit hole of "people think bears are cute because...

    WTS Tall Tines Longbow

    Triple Aught Design Pants?

    I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback on the Triple Aught Designs (TAD) Talon Guide Pants. They seem to be a lighter weight version of the Sitka Timberlines, but i am curious about how quiet and water resistant they are. Thanks.

    Balanced journalism celebrating hunting? It is possible..

    I was beyond surprised to see the often Left leaning/Urban-centric public broadcasting corporation of Canada post this: Filling the freezer for winter: Stalking caribou in the Yukon - Home | Now or Never | CBC Radio There seems to be hope when the focus is placed on food gathering by those who...

    B.C. Grizzly Hunt No More

    So, looks like the fall 2017 hunt is the last hurrah for grizzly hunting in B.C. We knew once the NDP got in that the days were numbered.

    Save my season!!!

    Long story short: Deer+Ducati a few weeks back has equaled a need to return to a compound after 25 years of longbows for this elk season. I borrowed a compound for a day on friday and i was shooting fairly well to 40 yards with a bow that didn't really fit me well (no desire to exceed that...

    Leica Warranty-Impressed

    I picked up a lightly used (basically new out of box) APO Televid 82 about five months ago.I'll admit I was a little hesitant based on Leica closing the Canadian repair depot a few years back, and hearing nothing but negative about the current level of customer service. It was a smoking deal on...

    A Quiet Kifaru?

    I am wondering if there is any chance that kifaru will ever offer a bag made out of a more quiet material. I am a bowhunter that hunts fairly thick,steep country, and i just can't stand the loud sounds of cordura going through the bush. I am fully prepared to get a little less durability out of...
