This year I had to splurge a bit to get some new gear for sheep hunting. I was looking for camo, needing some base layers, rain gear, and a puffy. I decided to go with Kryptek after talking to Butch at the outdoors show even though I had never seen a review on them, here is how they performed in...
So, I was really happy to get my Merino Wool top in the mail this week so I could have it for sheep season. I tried it on and it was really itchy, so I put it through the wash thinking it would get better, it didnt... I know everyone here really likes them, how do you get past the itch?

I dont know about you guys, but I am getting ready for spring black bear hunting which is right around the corner. Much like a lot of you other guys, I enjoy watching videos of other guys success and I stumbled on this guys video. I know I would be changing my pants after a night on the bait...
