    Youth rifle idea's for western Montana

    So western Montana based with 2 kids coming of age in the 9-11 y/o range. Of course deer and antelope will be first but cow elk will be right behind or at the same time. I know there are a ton of threads out there on rifle brands and calibers. I've narrowed the calibers down to 7mm.08/6.5...

    Swaro 8x42 and 10x42 hmm which is larger

    So I got a pair of swaro 8x42 and 10x42 new here that I’m comparing. I’ve been playing around and after a couple days I thought I liked the “bigger” pair, well the bigger pair is actually the 8x. Weird I checked the specs and yes a bit longer and heavier . it’s funny that I seemed to like...

    Badland's vs Kuiu for best elk huntin pack

    Wow Ive been on shift for a few days. Looks like lots of responses to go through. I did check out that elk reaper and yes he's totally a company rep. Looks like he nows works for that Kafaru company. I always see folks on this forum talk about them but personally never have seen one or...

    Badland's vs Kuiu for best elk huntin pack

    I have read that the old KUIU frames are brittle as well as problems with Badlands zippers in the past, but I have not found any recent criticisms of these lately so Im guessing they have them worked out. I did check out that guy.....somebody above stated his name as Aaron or something and...

    Badland's vs Kuiu for best elk huntin pack

    For western hunts it appears the 2 best packs may be Badlands or Kuiu or more specifically the Badlands 4500 and the KUIU 6000. What's the best do you all think? Elk and deer and possibly black bear. Mostly will hunt 10+ miles from TH is the plan. I was checkin out another forum (see link)...

    Kifaru Dominating the Hunting Market

    Whoa!!!!!! I didn't know people backpacked elk quarters out. Crazy stuff. For $800 you could get a nice daypack and a shi**y pack mule. Then y'all could finally go deep! But since this is a backpack thread...Im not sure if my non equine set-up would be called a Super Kifaru or what? I run...

    Best briefing Ive seen on the virus analyzing data

    I loved the video.....great take on so many levels. They should have not extrapolated their stats and just left them at face value. They aren’t random samples but samples that would error on the side of maybe ”sicker” type folks being testEd. The only thing random sampling would do would be...

    April 14th Camera Land Update

    Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium Stove

    Any follow up on this......I have the Seek 8 man tepee and xl stove......the tepees awesome and the stove is light but have never been overly impressed with it. Puts out a lot of smoke at times as it doesn’t draft very well plus like many have said I hate setting it up. Keep us posted....

    Glass vs contacts while hunting and scouting

    Texasbuckeye Like a few others have mentioned I have a bad astigmatism...... is this still a no go for Lasik. I was always told in the past by my optometrist that I'm not a candidate......but I never really know how much I can trust their opinion/knowledge on the subject. There seem to be a...

    Thinking too much? - Vortex Razor HD or Swarovski SLC 10x42

    I did exactly the same as you except didn’t even try the EL’s or nictovids....just not going to spend that. Compared vortex razor, Nikon monarchs hd’s, Swaro slc, zeiss conquest, and a few more I can’t remember. i came out with similar results as you. I did take all of them outside and came...

    HR 1349 "Wheels over Wilderness"

    Everyone should read the wilderness act of 1964.....simple and beautifully written. If you have not read this you probably should not comment on this issue. The intent of the act was to keep wilderness WILD. Easier said then done, but this act should not be tinkered with ever....it was meant...

    Meat Grinding: plate sizes? regrind?

    Did you just hand mix the beef fat in before your single fine grind? Also how does this unit work in conjunction with the poly burger bags? Half the battle is filling those bags. I'm eyeing this same grinder right now.

    Kifaru Native pack on IG

    Did somebody put some Johnny Walker into the k-koolaid? If anyone buys this for a lid on their pack.......well I might just be speechless! At first glance I thought it was a brown $150 stuff sack mating with the camo pack. He he he !!!! Don't take this to seriously but as a distant...
