    Good smaller backpack for my son

    I am looking for a (relatively) inexpensive framed backpack for my son. If we tag out an elk this fall he won’t be packing out 100# loads, probably more like 30# so I don’t need a load shelf. I was thinking something non hunting branded (i.e., not Exo, KIUI, Kifaru, etc). He has been training...

    Boots for 11 year old for Western hunting (Idaho)

    Just wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for boots for an 11 year old for western hunting for elk this fall. He’s nowhere near done growing so an expensive paif of boots would not be my first choice, and since he’s young he’s pretty tolerant of footwear choices as long as they aren’t...

    Help me see the difference - NL Pure binos

    Okay so I have not had alpha glass before...I'm currently using a pair of 10x42 Athlon Cronus which are, in my view, excellent especially considering the price. Every chance I get at a store I look at the binos and in impromptu bino viewing this past year the NL Pure (10x42) has seemed...

    Deciding between separate bino/RF or all-in-one RF Binos

    So I'm a beginning hunter, I chose to use bow and I'm gearing up for both local and out-of-state hunts...local will be deer, remote will be elk, hog, pronghorn. So I know a lot of people love the RF Binos as it eliminates having to carry 2 devices and saving that weight. As well as the...

    Muscle fatigue top of thighs/hip joint with weighted pack hiking - is this normal?

    I just started training with a weighted pack (40#) by hiking trails and around the block. I get a muscle fatigue at the top of the thigh under the iliac crest - using the clock directions, if you picture it it’s the muscle that is at the 1:30 position for my right leg and the 10:30 for the...

    Newbie here, just joined

    Wanted to introduce myself, don't know if that's protocol around here...so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules. I'm new to archery although I shot a bit in college, after college life got in the way and it dropped by the wayside. Lifelong outdoorsperson, been fishing/hiking since I was a kid...
