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...
25-50% off lots of gear. I've used their merinos before and like them. Let me know if anyone's had experience with their Kodiak pants, thinking about getting some for my dad.
Okay I guess that makes sense. It's hard bc I really want to make sure the terrain isn't to demanding for my dad and that there's decent road access for recovery of an elk by myself. Good to know going forward that not everyone withholding that information is suspicious.
Gotcha so they're worried if I have the GPS coordinates then I could just call up the property owner and offer twice as much to cut out the middle man? I guess that makes sense but make me uncomfortable.
That's what I was thinking. I was listening to a recent podcast and they were joking about how a lot of fishing guides will lie to clients and tell them it's catch and release only - just bc they don't feel like dealing with cleaning fish.
I've had one or two on the phone, definitely better...
