    Kifaru Day Pack Recommendations

    Would you go into a little more detail on this, to compare a Stryker XL shelf, comfort, and modularity? Thx. Comfort when loaded, ease of use, quietness, bulk etc. A main attraction of the Stryker XL for me has always been that it provides the best option for carrying a hang-on stand + pack...

    Is it illegal to pack deer out?

    South Carolina: Possessing any deer with the head detached while in transit from the point of kill is prohibited (50-11-400). Years ago, I thought I saw a way to read the rules that allowed me to pack out deer from remote areas in a non-idiotic fashion, but I think the regs might have been...

    I liked orange before mxgsfmdpx made it cool…

    That is the most god-awful thing I have ever seen.

    Are we really hunting?

    Italics mine. I think the arguments are healthy, within reason. Somewhere between the spear-and-loincloth argument and the as-long-as-it's-legal cop-out is The Truth.

    Hog hunting tips

    Ruh-roh! Make sure he doesn't booger up all the stands before you get there. Pigs are very smart about baited stands, even at night, and you don't always get a favorable wind where you want one when you want one., so you will want a robust selection of virgin territory. Scouting and camp...

    Got $5k to spend on myself - what should I do?

    LOL ... I'm just glad I can contribute something useful around here every once in a while ... @TXHunt had $5-6000 to go toward a hunt and was looking for ideas a while back. My actual advice (still true today, including inflation adjustments) was this: Apparently a lot of people felt this...

    What do I want for Christmas

    Around the 23rd ... maybe the 22nd if you still haven't figured out where you're chopping your tree from.

    What do I want for Christmas

    New-issue Winchester Extreme SS 7mm-08 (SC?) ---Would it be asking too much for a McMillan stock? --And, oh yeah ... Whirled peas ....

    $500 rifle scope. Best bang for your buck?

    I'd gladly take the pissing matches if their search function would work ... LOL

    $500 rifle scope. Best bang for your buck?

    Thanks. I haven't been a serious scope shopper for a good while. May be easing back into it, though ... LOL

    $500 rifle scope. Best bang for your buck?

    I do I don't think the Hurons dial, though ... Correct? OP's looking for a dialing scope. And aren't the Credos and Accupoints often mentioned in this thread well north of his budget? --Even used, I'd guess.

    Nosler Model 21

    What rings and bases are trending for lowest scope mounting at this point? Any bolt knob replacement going on? I can't find much info on line, so -- tag, y'all are it. One-inch tube, prolly. Can't see where a 30 is moving in the right direction given the starting point with this rifle, but...

    Turkey Hunting Crossbow

    My suggestion would be to pre-range landmarks in your kill zone just the same way as I would think most people do with a shotgun, where you want to know what's too far. My other suggestion would be not to give up on the compound. "Missing" is correctable with effort toward skills, plus a good...

    The “mobile hunting” push, vs. the lack of LW/packable whitetail clothing and equipment?

    Clearly, sir, you have no experience with this miracle product... But that's not important right now ... Speaking of collaborations, I stumbled across the info that Arsenal is teaming with Eastern Woods Outdoors on a one-stick system, which I thought was interesting. Maybe the more dramatic...

    The “mobile hunting” push, vs. the lack of LW/packable whitetail clothing and equipment?

    I don't think it's because those products wouldn't catch attention among WT hunters, whether they're "technical" or die-hard or "mobile" or not. I think it may be because it's very hard to develop a high-quality product from scratch that has to compete with other high-quality stuff that's...

    The “mobile hunting” push, vs. the lack of LW/packable whitetail clothing and equipment?

    Maybe it's time to shift gears from " Why don't they?" toward throwing out some build and design ideas. I think it's clear some folks would like improved pack/carry/clothing systems, and from reading all this I bet mobile-hunting WT companies are ceding this market to what they perceive to be...
