After not drawing a tag to go west the last several years I decided to hunt with a friend that wanted to hunt Region W mule deer. This will be my first trip to the area and I would appreciate any tips anyone is willing to give me either here or by PM. From what I've read it's hard hunted and...

I got a call from the gunsmith yesterday to ask a couple final questions about the project he is finishing for me. I had a Kimber 84L Montana I bought in 280 Ackley that I could never get to shoot like I wanted it to. I bought it used and worried that it might not shoot and that's why it was...

I have two Krytek Helios Highlander pattern 2XL shirts for sale, $120 for both. I have a 2xl Sitka Jetstream light vest in open country $100. All are new with tags, stuff I bought and decided I didn't like better than what I was already using. Got busy and never got them returned. I have a...

I'm going on a 2 man drop hunt for moose in Alaska in 2018. I'm sitting inside watching it rain, cooking dinner right now and got to thinking about the menu for that hunt. The outfitter provides the cooking gear including a 2 burner Coleman stove and skillet, pots, plates etc. We have a 100lb...

I shoot both Bergers and Accubonds as do several that post here. It is interesting to me to see the different preferences of different hunters. I personally prefer the terminal characteristics of the Accubond but have been using the Berger for whitetail and antelope since 2012 and never had a...

I recently purchased this frame along with the F2 Transformer pack, the scoped rifle scabbard, and the J type dry bag. This is just a preliminary review, I haven't put enough miles or use on it yet to give a thorough review. This is more my initial thoughts after a few hours use. I'll...

Just curious if anyone had compared these spotters. They are all similar in price range (Swaro must be found used) and by good companies. I have a buddy looking to buy one spotter for everything and looking to spend under $1500, hopefully around $1200. For his needs I think a more packable...

I'm considering getting a new pack for a moose hunt I have coming up in 2018 in Alaska. We will be hunting from a drop camp so I'll just need a daypack and way to pack meat. I currently have a J34 that works well as a daypack and to take out the first load of meat, then I go back in with my...

I went the long route to the optics I have now and spent more than was necessary. I'd get something a little better than what I had and end up selling it to upgrade later on. I ended up going top notch or darn close on everything in the long run and wish I'd have taken the shorter and cheaper...

The elk unit in Wyoming I hoped to draw this fall took 4 instead of 2pts to draw this year so I'm looking for somewhere to hunt. I really enjoy mule deer hunting and haven't had the opportunity to hunt them for a few years, so I'm thinking of giving it a shot this fall. I know I don't have...

As I said in the adds for the tripods I'm selling, I switched to the Outdoorsman's system and no longer need this adapter. It's in as new condition and works great. Asking $100 shipped to the lower 48, and will ship it further but won't cover over $20 of the shipping. I can send pics via...

I have a Promaster 525T carbon fiber tripod with a 6160 fluid head for sale. I have had it a couple years and it has worked very well for me. At 5'10" I can stand comfortably behind it fully extended with my Swaro 20-60x80 ATS scope. It can also compact and spread out to lay prone behind...

I have a really nice Swarovski AT101 tripod for sale with a Promaster 6160 fluid head and spare adapter plate. It hasn't seen much use, I bought it for windy conditions and never used it to much. It's a very stable tripod for glassing from camp, neat the truck, or at the shooting range. With...

I'm looking for some advice on some good truck binos. I have Leica Geovid binos I use hunting or on serious scouting trips, but I'm looking for something to carry in the ranch truck day to day that's decent enough to keep me from wanting to drag the Leicas out of the safe all the time. I will...

The guy I hunt with just purchased a Swaro STS spotter and has decided to sell his Vortex. He is asking $1350. I included a copy of his Craigslist add here plus a link with pictures. Please contact him if interested. http://topeka.craigslist.org/spo/4707344816.html This is a Vortex Razor...

I have some money coming I want to use to expand my optics. I plan to splurge once on these and hopefully be done upgrading for at least the next decade, hopefully longer. As to my hunting style, I usually make a trip out west each fall for elk, muleys, or antelope. I put in lots of miles on...

I'm headed to the Bighorn mountains in late October looking for a trophy bull. I'll be hunting in a unit I've visited several times before, got a broken up bull that would have been around 330" intact and a 300" 6pt. Due to my flinch and an issue with the Remington style safety I no longer have...

I took a friend's son out and got his first buck tonight. It was on an early youth season hunt and he was down to the last night. They asked me last night but I was already committed to helping judge and participating in a family rodeo for the Cowboy Church so I couldn't take him. Tonight I...

Just curious if anyone was taking small game while in the backcountry on hunting or scouting trips, and how you prepare it. I usually pack a Snow Peak, or similar cup of around 25oz that I can boil meat in and a few bullion cubes, but don't seem to use it for more than boiling water. I ordered...

I have a Promaster 525T tripod and 6160 head that I really like for times when I plan to really use them. This head is pretty smooth and works very well for me. I was thinking though of getting a real lightweight head, maybe a ball head, for times when I don't plan to use the tripod much. I...
