Looking at these Ultraterrains as well as their basically the lightest LT E I can find in 33's. How do you like them and how to they compare to the duratracs?
What did you settle on? I'm looking for a new boot similar to the Briksdal. I want something flex 3, preferably lighter than the current Lowa Tibets I have, and I'm thinking leather. I'd be open to synthetic but I keep seeing mixed reviews about how much the leak. Looking for something to be my...
Sorry if I'm misreading but are you advocating for the federal government to regulate tag draws for federal lands?? And then the state has separate tags for non federal land? I can't see how that would go well.
As a non res to all western states I 100% accept that as a NR I get way worse odds...
The whole concept of the north American model is against this. Just bc you own the land doesn't mean you own the animals. There is no "the kings deer".
Yeah I've learned there really are a lot of opinions and people who defend the LP tag program for good reasona. But at the end of the day it's a public resource that's being given to the highest bidder.
Haha yeah I get that sentiment. Don't have the money yet but in 10 year it's something I would consider. But still, it feels dirty. The wildlife is supposed to be owned by the people of the state and held in trust by the state for the people. And the resource allocated democratically. This is...
Just finished listening to the most recent Hunt Quietly podcast episode. It covers the issues with tag allocation in New Mexico. I've always heard there's a lot of landowner tags but apparently around 40% of elk tags go to land owners. WAY more than any other state with similar programs...
This is actually really good advice. I've been hunting out west for 4 years now and one of the hardest parts is picking a unit from so far away.
Typically I start with terrain/elevation for the season I'd like to hunt, then start making a list of units I can draw and comparing buck:doe, harvest...
Been hashed out a while ago. Basically it's just a rough odds calculator for over years. For myself and others I think it can be helpful to mathematically show why it's not worth applying for some tags. It's helped me focus my budget building points.
Yeah that's what I was thinking as far as sticks. The new latitude carbon fiber seem cool, but without colapsing they'd get in the way more I'd think.
And that's good to know, I'm considering just getting the 30 the more I look at it. I really don't need a crazy amount of pack storage...
What sticks/platform are you using with the popup 28? And are you putting them in the load shelf or attaching on the outside? Same question for everyone using that really haha
Yeah I've seen the new pop up 30 and it looks like those additional attachment points would be perfect. But the 28 you can find on sale for 200 currently, and that's hard to beat.
And what I've used the the past is my kuiu frame just left in the truck. It was way too bulky to bring into the woods with me ontop of my climber. Not my favorite for white tail hunting just bc of how deep the main compartment is. I'd be open to switching it up and getting a new pack.
I know this is mostly a western hunting forum but I figure a lot of yall hunt whitetail in the east, and are more familiar with pack frames, so I'm coming to yall for advice. I'm ditching the heavy/bulky/loud climber this year and plan to give saddle hunting a try. So I'm in the market for a...
