I have a Dana that I used on a Dall sheep hunt. Worked great but very heavy. I borrowed a Barney's pack for a recent mountain goat hunt. I was great for hauling heavy loads but could be a little unsteady at times. I have a Kifaru EMR II on order. I have heard a lot of good things about it and it...
I went to the Cabelas in Glendale Az this morn. Showed. Up at 4:30. Got my stuff by 5:20 and was out the door in 15 min. You can get out quickly if you are not buying a gun.
I was just on the web site. When you look at the sale items you get excited about the deal. However, when you go to checkout, you find that all the items you selected are back ordered and therefore not on sale. I ended up not buying a thing. Big wast of my time . I like kuiu gear but don't like...
I was happy to hear that it will ship so soon. I was afraid there might be a backlog before Christmas. Now I will have time to hook up all my goodies( pockets,etc) before my Jan hunt. You are right about the Kifaru CS.
I just ordered my EMR II . Aron was very helpful. He patiently answered all my questions and had some great suggestions. Shipping is Dec 2. Can't wait to use it on my archery javelina hunt in Jan.
I recommend trying the clothes on. The Sitka 90% pants fit great on me but the mountain pants just did not fit right. The Kuiu Attack pants fit great and use them the most.
I also bought some C4E off camofire. I did not like it. Ok to wear around the town but not for hunting. Also the C4E boxers did not fit well with me. I now have the FL boxers and tops and love them. You can get good insulation depending on the thickness.
I brought my Dall horns and hide as a carry on. It was a nice 40inch ram and the horns stuck out of my daypack. It would not fit under the seat but the airline staff on Alaska airlines did not hassle me.
I'm going goat hunting in Alaska in three weeks . I'm using a 300 Ultra mag with 180 remington scirocco . My guide really wants his hunters to use at least a 300 win mag. Goats are tough and you want to put them down before they go off a ledge
