    Maven vs Swarovski Binos

    Nice set of 8.5x ELs posted this morning for a fair price. Might be worth a look. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Best Backcountry Bino Mount

    I prefer the RRS Cinch over the Aziak. I really wanted to like the Aziak since it's so streamlined, but you can't level out your binos if your tripod/head isn't level. The RRS allows you to level them out pretty easily. The offset thing doesn't bother me, but sounds like it does others. So I...

    Gear List

    Sleep system seems like the obvious place but not cheap to do. Where/when are you going? 4.5 lbs for pad/quilt/pillow is pretty heavy unless it's gonna be a fairly cold hunt. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Katabatic flex 22 in warmer temps

    You'll be just fine. That's the beauty of a quilt, its versatility. Zip the footbox up, unzip it, kick your leg out, tighten it around you, loosen it, button it up, use it as a blanket, etc, etc. I think the 22 is a good all around choice. I have the 15 and have used it in much warmer temps with...

    ISSUE>Sig P365>Magazines>Why So Stiff?>How to Fix?

    Grab a MagGuts spring. Much easier to load rounds and you get extra capacity. It's a win-win. That and the Maglula and you're set. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Flextail Zero Pump experience

    Avoids the dizziness/head rush, can be used to help start fires, and eliminates breathing moisture into your pad that eventually leads to mold. For such a small weight penalty I think it's definitely worth packing. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Katabatic Alsek 22 vs Sawatch 15

    Can't say I've ever been on a sheep hunt, but in your case I'd say go with the 15. I have a Katabatic Flex 15 and a 40 degree El Coyote to cover different seasons/uses. I guess I don't see enough of a difference between the 30 and 22 to make owning both a reasonable choice. Unless you end up...

    Tent for Truck Camping?

    Wood stoves are nice, but if you're not using it in winter cold/wet conditions and don't need to dry out gear, not sure that's necessary. I use a big buddy propane heater in mine attached to a 20 lb tank and it works great. Just make sure to vent the tent and keep a CO detector in it just to be...

    Tent for Truck Camping?

    My Kodiak Flex Bow is the best piece of outdoor gear I've purchased in many years. Can't say enough good things about it. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Whats your Favorite early seaon elk gear

    For a bivy style backpack hunt, weight is obviously important. Easiest way to cut weight is in your shelter and sleep system but there's a bit of a learning curve if you're planning to go minimalist. Could go on and on but there are a lot of different resources on this. So my one "favorite"...

    Whats your Favorite early seaon elk gear

    A few more details on the style of hunt will help. Backpack hunt (and if so, bivy style or backcountry base camp), truck camp, mix of things...? So many options and so much to consider. But if you like gear and have $ to spend, this can be a fun part of the whole process. Sent from my SM-G996U...

    NFL on Peacock 😡

    Five of the six NFL playoff games this weekend are available for free with an antenna. That's way better than you get with the MLB, NHL, NBA, or any of the major college sports. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Bourbon

    So many great options these days. But if I'm choosing one "go-to", it's gotta be Wild Turkey 101. Good proof, decent age, stands up in a cocktail (if that's your thing), and a touch of that Turkey funk. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Start Applying This Year? CO.

    Yes, go as soon as you can. Yes, buy a point because you'll become addicted. Yes, you can still buy an OTC tag and earn a point for the year. I can't forsee things getting "better" in the next few years here, especially for NR's. Have a blast, you won't regret it. Sent from my SM-G996U using...
