    Hi there... I plan to build the kids a treehouse this summer and maybe get a little personal use out of it in the fall :) Does anyone have any experience with this type of platform? Seems to be the simplest but concerned how long it will last with the growth of the tree. Any thoughts or...

    Kuiu: Chugach Rain Gear vs. NX Ultra Light

    Here's that question again... anyone have experience with both? Lots of Chugach reviews but can't seem to find too much on the NX Ultra. Is it just too light weight? Not durable enough? I pretty much am after the NX exact description but what if I'm sitting on abrasive rocks etc. Thanks in...

    Hi there, I have a set for sale. It's the Mothwing pattern. Which if you're familiar with it, it's much more quiet than current versions. Size XL but it's quite adjustable so I would say if you're a large or XL this will work. Excellent Condition. $300. Thank you.

    Montana Trophy Mule Deer Areas Are In Jeopardy

    I'll first say I had mixed emotions about raising any attention to this matter. But ultimately I trust the Sportsman to make the right decision. FWP has proposed an increase to the tag allocation in unit 261 and 270 (top 2 units in the state). An initial reaction might have some excited about...

    KUIU Buckles.... Yes buckles

    Howdy all... Totally random question, I'm aware. Does anyone know where you can pick up some extra buckles off the Icon series packs (side release/snap)? I believe they are made by Duraflex but Duraflex doesn't sell small quanities and I only need like 6. KUIU sells a bundled package but the...

    Antler Dog

    Well... We just picked up a rescue dog. This could be interesting. We are a German Shorthair family and were on a rescue list. He is 3 years old and it appears he was just a house dog, little to no outside training. I'll get the basics down but has anyone done any formal training specifically...

    How does everyone organize your preference points??

    Keeping track, when you apply for multiple states, is a bit of a task for myself. Anyone have a good system?

    Any Reviews? Primos Trigger Sticks (tripod)

    My wife and I were at the sporting goods store last night (yeah date night with no kids :)) and I saw this tripod trigger stick. I've always had my eye on these but then read "mount spotting scope" and my head started to spin. So for the next 10 mins I sat there and fiddled with it. Yes... sat...

    Speed Goat Down

    Number 2 goat on the hit list down. Posted some pics of him a couple weeks ago and was able to connect on opening weekend. My buddy was able to connect on our number one wish list goat, scoring 76. I know Antelope aren't the hardest thing to hunt but they sure are fun:)
