    Upland pants?

    Orvis pro they are 100 percent water proof. Only thing it lacks is zippers

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    We push deer with bows. I’ve had them close enough I can touch them. I’ve also had a black bear 2 weeks ago about 10 feet away. It was close enough I thought it was going to run me over.

    2024 PA Bear Season

    @Lurch12 Looks awesome. Also looks like a blast. Congrats. Couple questions if you don’t mind answering. How many drives do you guys do a day with that group? How far do you on average travel between drives? Do you drive the same patches day after day? Or focus on new areas day in and...

    Outfitters offering cash for a pin

    Honestly if I was a hunter who had that tag why not just cut the guide out of the equation. A guide is meant to put you on game not pay for people’s spots.

    What trail camera has the best subscription service?

    I also run the edges. Pros- pretty cheap to buy and the service is also decently cheap. Battery life is great. No sd card. The ones I’ve used have lasted and worked. Cons- no sd card if something goes wrong oh well. Slow trigger speed at time. Blurry pics at times. All in all the pics...

    Morning sickness while hunting

    I’ve had anxiety issues for years. And while you may joke about it this is something I suffer with as well. Early mornings and anxiety for me do not go hand and hand. I can’t eat and I sip on coke or ginger ale to call my stomach down. But if I get up at say 6 or 7 I don’t have the same...

    Firstlite 308 Pant Pre Review *Updated with review*

    I ended up sending my lined 308 pants back. The good- Fit true to size I’m a 32 in Levi and these fit great length and width Comfortable Quiet Seem warm Light The bad- They feel similar to under armor sweat pants. Would not be anywhere near water proof (not even resistant) All in all...

    Sitka Stratus

    @jcsmitty21 Lucky you. I have the same exact set up. Except I have stratus pants and obsidian Marino pants instead of the equinox. I did layer the stratus over the first lite pants. I don’t want to call anyone a liar on here but if you guys are getting into the thirties your either a hell of...

    Firstlite 308 Pant Pre Review *Updated with review*

    Just bought the 308 lined pants. Hoping I made the right decision over the catalyst foundry for tree stand hunting.

    Balancing sleep with time hunting

    I don’t elk hunt yet however I hunt from September until January and work full time here in pa. What I do is I go to bed at a decent time. A lot of guys I hunt with party and drink. I do not. I also get used to running on little sleep. Everything comes to an end. Just a matter of getting...

    Boss shotgun shells?

    Bought a box to try patterning out of my browning a5 sweet 16 lighting The good? Well put together quick shipping shoots strong. The bad? Patterned for shit out of my gun (not bosses fault) Only 20 in a box. Ended up finding kent diamond shot. It patterns well

    First Lite new whitetail system

    One other thing I would say in regard to pricing is that first lite offers big discounts a few times a year. If you wait for those sales I think you can get these pretty reasonable.

    First Lite new whitetail system

    I can’t figure out why they insist on bibs. I’ve yet to find bibs that properly fit me. In turn I wear pants. Give me a pants option with the same tech and specs. I currently have mostly Sitka uppers

    Saddle Systems

    Anyone with experience on timber ninja saddles I saw them at tac and while I didn’t try one it it looked very comfortable

    What happened to Firstlite/Meateater

    I am not a me fan. I find Steve to be abrasive however he did a good job of selling or teaching the farm to table (hunt to table) aspect of hunting. Much better than a bunch of 20 year olds posting pics online of blood laden deer which turns all the soccer moms off and make them hate us. All...

    1/2 ton 6cyl diesel and midsize diesel experiences

    The oil for the 3.0 duramax is a bit more expensive. Admittedly I do not know the capacity for those. On my 6.6 I run rotella t5 (you can’t run that in the 3.0). I buy 2.5 gallons of t5 on sale for 45 bucks at tsc. The filter for my truck is 10 bucks (ac delco). I do it myself in the drive...

    1/2 ton 6cyl diesel and midsize diesel experiences

    No more def or dpf. No more sending hot exaughst gasses back through the engine. Better mileage. Better sound. It “un chokes” the engine. Usually more power. Be careful tho it’s not legal and it can be hard to find someone to do it now from all the regulations. Luckily pa is diesel emission...

    1/2 ton 6cyl diesel and midsize diesel experiences

    To be fair the 6.0 and 6.4 were both train wrecks just about from day one. Anyone who trusted ford enough to buy a 6.4 after the 6.0 has had a lobotomy. It’s a shame because the 08-10 fords looked great. At the end of the day expecting 500000 out of any vehicle 8 times out of 10 is not going to...
