    First Muzzle Loader - Knight UL Colorado

    Picking up my first ML and am thinking of grabbing the Knight UL with a nitride finish once they are back in stock. This is for my first ML hunt which will be in Illinois, but I'm also looking to use it in Idaho/Arizona/other western states. Is getting it with a FPJ breech plug and sights the...

    Living in Northern Idaho

    That's great. I'll be out there in mid-July, and we plan to move in late August or September. Maybe we can connect for a beer sometime once I'm out there! Certainly won't be bringing that attitude there or anywhere. Funny enough I have some relatives that just moved down to Arizona from the...

    Living in Northern Idaho

    I can empathize with that. The reality is that my line of work in software is all remote these days, and there's not much I can do about that. Regardless of where I live, it's going to be remote work. I also don't think 'milking' an area is a fair assessment. I'd like to think I'm an upstanding...

    Living in Northern Idaho

    I work in software and my job is fully remote - that's why I'm fixing to get up and move to N Idaho. If I don't do it while I have the flexibility now, I probably never will. That's great to hear. I've been up there before and loved it, but didn't spend enough time (especially in town) to get...

    Living in Northern Idaho

    I want to get some honest opinions on living in Northern Idaho as a younger cat (28 years old), specifically in the Sandpoint/CDA area. Trust me, I know everyone's default answer is not to move there since everywhere in the west is crowded these days, but it's all relative. I've dealt with...

    Adding to Tent Collection - 1 Man Backpacking Shelter

    Thanks everyone for the input. I'll definitely be adding the Durston X-Mid to my list of lightweight options. Here is the new Seek Outside shelter I was referring to:

    Adding to Tent Collection - 1 Man Backpacking Shelter

    Looking to upgrade my old backpacking tent and would like suggestions on what you would purchase next. I'm not looking for a one size fits all option, as I'm adding additional shelters to my arsenal over time that can fit all different use cases. My home state is Arizona, but I frequently get...

    Old truck guys

    Old vehicle projects are one of my primary interests outside of hunting. I grew up with Early Broncos (1966-1977), and my next project is to find one and fix it up into a hunting/skiing rig.

    Interpupillary Distance & Binoculars: How to know?

    I'm in the same boat. I typically have my binos much closer together than everyone else, but my IPD (using the apps to measure) is still within the range of most specs on the lower end. You can find the upper and lower IPD distance specs for binos online. I don't know if it makes any...

    Binos - Eyecup and Tube Spacing Adjustments

    I've never had high end glass until now which has resulted in me just adjusted my binos to what seems to look and feel the best. Now that I've invested in high end glass I'd like to get the most out of them so I'm interested in knowing how you guys run your eyecups / tube spacing and what vision...

    Swarovski 10x42 EL - Sale vs. Normal Price?

    Thanks. Looks like I'll hold out a few months as originally planned. Outdoorsman's is a local shop anyway, so it won't be too much of a hassle bringing them in to install the bino stud rather than dealing with shipping to and fro.

    Swarovski 10x42 EL - Sale vs. Normal Price?

    Entering the world of high end optics for the first time and I've decided on the Swaro 10x42 EL's. Looks like they're on sale for couple hundred off everywhere including Outdoorsman's, where I will be needing to add their stud anyway. Are these on sale just because of the recent release of the...
