    Badlands Point bacpack discontinued

    There is one on ebay right now. I just picked up a Superday there in excellent shape for a pretty good discount over new.

    Youth compound bow?

    I bought one of the Mission Hammr bows to rehab my shoulder and I'm pretty impressed with it. Good deal for the money imo. Adjustable pull weight from like 11 pounds up to 70 and draw length is adjustable as well. The one I bought was the RTH package and all I added was a stabilizer.

    supressor ready and caliber suggestions

    A 20 inch factory threaded barrel is going to narrow the options a bit. I bought one of the Ruger American Predator rifles in .243 with a 22 inch barrel and use an AAC 762SD suppressor on it for ground blind hunting. The rifle shoots a lot more accurately than I expected for the price. I...

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    The Army surplus wool pants are about as tough as any I've used and NOS pairs or lightly used can still be found on ebay. The older American made LL Bean wool pants are high quality as well. I don't know who made them for Bean but they are excellent for the prices they sell for on ebay.

    Steiner Predator vs. Leupold BX-4

    I just went back and forth with the same choices. I finally decided on the 10x42 Steiner Predators and ordered them yesterday. Steiner Predator binocs I've owned (and still do) a lot of Leupold scopes and one pair of their binoculars that turned out to be Chinese made and I used Steiners in...

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    I feel your pain! I missed one of the biggest bucks I've ever drawn on at maybe 5 or 6 yards. :oops: He came down a trail through some thick stuff and I could see the rack coming in plenty of time to be holding at full draw when he ambled in front of me broadside and stopped to stare at me...

    What is on your hunting bucket list?

    Mule deer and elk out west. The biggest thing on the list has always been Alaska. Moose, Caribou etc. Unless I win the lottery my chances are pretty slim though.

    Fish out of water, a guided(ish) whitetail hunt

    A couple of the disposable hand warmers earmarked only for gutting deer. Ever since a miserable late season gutting job on a doe that had lost most of its body heat I always save a couple for that purpose on cold days. Being able to grab one and warm my hands up occasionally makes it a lot...

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Holy cow! That'd make my teeth sweat thinking about the gubmint paperwork that would be involved if I lost one of those things. :oops:

    Best hunting knife

    I used a Buck 102 and 110 for years and still do sometimes but my main knives the last couple of years has been a little drop point made by Mike Miller and an Esee Emerson game knife. The orange handle on the Esee has saved me from losing once already.

    Old stands- probably some great memories

    I've found several old stands built in the national forest. Once I find one I usually hunt nearby since folks don't go to the trouble to haul materials in and build them unless there's a good reason.

    Hiker style boot

    I've had good luck with Vasque Sky Walk's and an ancient pair of Keen's that still do a pretty good job of keeping water out after quite a few years of use.

    Where to cut budget?

    I've gotten most of my hunting clothing from thrift stores. 3 Filson single mackinaws, Patagonia fleece, wool and a light goose down jacket, All in great shape and bought cheap. I prefer my old issue woodland and desert BDU pants over most other types I've tried so far. Good boots are where...
