    Gear for 2026

    I went with the Mainframe II because I'm a huge fan of the Mainframe I and this one has a few improvements to it. I've gotten so used to using the frame's shelf as a seat by laying the pack have down that when I have a pack without that shelf I end up really missing it. SG has awesome packs...

    Gear for 2026

    A possible Alaska float hunt in August, high country mule deer in Wyoming (backpack hunt), New Mexico elk in November, and we'll see what I draw in WY for antelope and elk. Most of my gear is pretty dialed but I'm always wanting to see what others are using to see if I'm missing something. I'm...

    Gear for 2026

    That will be convenient, for sure. I've been developing a gravity fed pellet stove for the wall tent so I don't have to get up and throw more wood on the fire every couple of hours. Here's what I came up with after months of trial & error...works pretty good so far (about a 5 minute video from...

    Gear for 2026

    Hey all, I'm planning some fairly epic trips this year (after not drawing much the past 2 years) and I'm going through my gear list again. I'm curious what new gear you've seen to keep in the pack, have at camp, new boots you're using, epic clothing layers you can't live without, etc. I'm a...

    In your opinion what 3-5 rifle cartridges are best for Mule Deer?

    Historically I've been a .30-06 guy, but the last few years I've really grown to love the 6.5 PRC. Last year I did some testing with that caliber and copper bullets....bomber combo!!!! This is my new go-to for most big game animals, including big bodied mule deer and elk. Love this combination.

    New Hunting Rig

    That air system for the tires is sweet. A few years ago on an elk hunt I drive through deep snow in my four wheeler, thinking if be by myself at the top of the ridge road...I was wrong. A few minutes into glassing I heard a truck coming. It was a 3/4 ton diesel that was driving up that road...

    Hey guys! It's been a minute since I posted. Been running like a chicken with my head cut off since September 1. I've had the pleasure of videoing Jim Huntsman's mule deer hunt in WY (host of The Western Huntsman podcast), and been with 3 of our 5 hunt winners so far...all great dudes who...

    Browning Primal Scalpel Kill Kit Review

    Thanks Luke! Curious...has anyone used this yet? I've been impressed with the game bags in the kit so far, and I like the ease of blade change in the knife.

    Archery Rangefinders

    Ya, they do have the angle compensation feature. Leica is the company that actually invented laser rangefinder technology back around 1990. They definitely have premium products with all the bells and whistles.
