If you want one set of outer layer gear get a quality, silent set of rain gear that is one size larger than you would normally wear and layer underneath accordingly. I ran this system for years and it worked well until I decided I wanted to carry less layers and had some available funds to...
I have heard nothing but good things about the XC's. I have been using an Overwatch Orion for the last 3 seasons, before that I had a tethrd Phantom. I did not like the hip pinch I got from the Phantom. I hunted 7 of the first 8 days of the season this year with no saddle soreness, no getting...
I have hunted out of my saddle for 4 seasons and my alu summit has hung on the wall ever since. There are several reasons why a saddle works for me. The big ones are mobility on the ground, flexibility in the tree and that 99% of the hunting I do is on public most of the . The first 2...
I bought a pair of insulated Nevadas and really liked them. I found them very comfortable both walking in them and standing on a platform. I wore them May- August, scouting and hiking then hunted from my saddle with them September-October. For myself, once the temps got into the 30-40 deg...
My son has had good luck with the Deer Season XP Copper on the couple deer he has shot. Nice 2"-3" exit hole on a 130# doe. Small sample size however so far I would not hesitate to use it.
I have used the MR Treehouse 38 for the last two seasons and am very happy with it. The fleece material is quiet and durable. I have seen some complain about the zippers however I have not had a problem with them. I open them slow and keep them lubed. One of the things that make it work for...
There are a ton of loads that will do the job. The last deer I shot with a .308 was during covid and all that I could find were 150 gn. federal powershoks. I hit the deer in the shoulder at 115 yds from a stand, knocking it down. It ran off , we waited about 30 min. and then tracked it for 70...
I have had Johnson wool solid greens since high school (decades ago) however with the improved merino offerings of the last 10 years I no longer wear them hunting. I wear all merino base and mid-layers and a technical wind/water resistant outer layer. I find that system much more adaptable...
Silencing Tape!
My only issue with the Kifaru Bino Harness was the noise of the Cordura rubbing against its self or my gear. I took care of the noise by covering the cordura on the bino and range finder buckets with micro fleece silencing tape.
I really like the form and function of this...
