    Rucking Gear Question

    I want to keep up on the weighted walks I was doing with my dog prior to elk season but I don't want to add unnecessary wear and tear on my hunting pack. So my question is, do you guys use plate carriers similar to mil style or the link below...

    Rant - What happened to respect for other hunters???

There was a lead cow that kept looking down our direction but didn't know we were there. She also kept...

    Folding vs. Regular Trekking Poles?

    I had the Wiser Quick-stix mounts on my previous poles and plan on putting those on my next pair as well. Leaning towards the telescoping poles because of this, but wanted to explore other options. Thanks for the input!

    6.5 Creedmoor Lung Damage Pic

    Very nicely done! I killed a decent bull and big mule deer 2 weeks ago with my 6.5cm Tikka shooting factory 143gr ELD-X. First animal I've killed with a 6.5, I'm a believer. Favorite rifle for the time being.

    Hornady ELD-X

    for those guys that have used a 6.5cm 143gr ELD-x bullet and killed elk, would you say there is an optimal distance/velocity that you find to be the most affective? my current rifle is pushing those out at 2616 fps point blank, and calculated 2137 at 400 yards. I'm guessing too close and the...

    Blaze Orange 5 or 7 panel hats?

    Anyone know of a company that makes 5 or 7 panel blaze orange hats? These styles fit my head well, but all I can find are regular baseball cap styles. Thanks for the help!

    Light weight fixed angle knife sharpener?

    it seems to have what's needed if you have good steel. and it did sell out pretty quickly when it first went live, but they've since done a good job of keeping it in stock
