    Hoka Kaha GTX Feedback?

    I have a pair that I originally bought for summer scouting. The con for that scenario is they are actually way warmer than i expected. Ive put a few hundred miles on them in rough Montana backcountry and havent encountered any durability issues other than needing to replace laces once. They are...

    I don't think many, if any, people are calling for a restriction in any legal sense. Just from an ethics point of view. A self policing code. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Same as the "bull stuck in a fence" scenario. If you walked up to a bull with his rack stuck in a fence...

    Thats a fair point. I suppose I view late season shoulder hunts more as harvesting than hunting. There's no trophy aspect to it, it's purely conservation so giving the animal a chance goes against the objective. Circle them up and meet that quota as far as I'm concerned. The main focus should be...

    I agree he talks like he's been stuck in a cabin too long, lol. I think his main objective has moved from trying to make an impact on ridding hunting influencers / hunting TV, he still rails against them but he knows you cant put that toothpaste back in the tube. His focus now is his non-profit...

    Everybody has a number, though, don't they? Most just base that number on how far they can shoot, but it's still an ethical decision. My point is that maybe we should consider more than just how accurate we are at specific distances to determine that ethical number.

    417 is very specific. How did you get that number?

    That's my question as well. Whatever the number, it is likely to be arbitrary. Personally, I feel like 500 is fair, but I would like to hear from someone with some sort of expertise on the matter to give a number based on some sort of scientific reasoning. I do know that even at 1000 yards, an...

    Accuracy is only one part of that argument. I could nail 700+ shots all day; I am confident and competent at that range. Ethics, in terms of fair chase, come into play as well. Say you were competent and accurate at a mile. Absurd, I know, but is it really hunting at that point? Where is the...

    I, too, consider myself a big tent guy. However, I also agree with Matt on a lot of issues. I am not against hunting media. I am just against how most hunting media is focused on self-promoting and recruiting for the purpose of selling products. When I think of being a big tent guy, I think the...
