    Boots for Wide Feet

    I basically have Flintstone feet. Lowa felt like European torture devices from the jump. After trying Lowa Tibet, Hanwag Ancash, Kenetrek MEs, Schnees beartooth, and Meindl cofort fit extreme and vakuum hunters. The Hanwags and Kenetrek fit my funky wide foot the best. The Hanwags have broken in...

    Hanwag Ancash II?

    I bought my ancash in spring of 2022. Felt great when I first bought them. I have a fairly wide foot with an odd heel. Started to feel more and more uncomfortable in the beginning of the break in. I almost gave up on them. After about 6-8 months of really working on them and trying different...

    The spotter bug is getting me

    I am leaning towards a spotter with a few hunts I have planned. I dont think my 10x will be enough to tell me the hike will be worth it if you catch my drift.

    Colorado Fall Black Bear Hunt

    It would awesome to hear the elk while chasing bears. I have kidding myself that I would want to pack an elk out solo, but a bears seems more managable.

    The spotter bug is getting me

    I could see the "fun" with a spotter. I have a pair of diamondback 15x56s and even those are fun to look through

    Contact wearers' what's your secrets

    I have always put my lenses in without a mirror. I use those heavy lenses and they always fall of my finger when I tried to use a mirror. On the backpack hunts I have done eye care is one area I always plan for redundancies. I wear monthlies, but bring one backup pair of lenses and glasses with...

    New guy from Kentucky

    I am brand new to the forum and just saw your post. I did the LBL draw deer hunt this past October. No deer but it was beautiful country to explorer. I have driven over it hundreds of times and never got the chance to really get deep in the country.

    The spotter bug is getting me

    I hear you on the OTC hunts. I am aiming more for the early deer rifle hunts. I think with the much "bigger" country I might invest in a good spotter.

    Colorado Fall Black Bear Hunt

    I am also interested in doing the fall bear hunt. Maybe a stupid question. Just a quick one about preseason scouting. If I am able to scout over the summer, family vacation, I would be looking for feed and likely terrain? I assume your'e looking for beary areas as opposed to individual bears...
