    Home turf Michigan Upper Penninsula WT

    My fall plans with an anticipated trip to Eastern Montana didn't come to completion as I wasn't able to make the hunt. I did have a successful hunt on my home property with a 10 pt. eastern count whitetail buck. First chance to use my 6.5 Creedmore and I couldn't ask for a better result...

    Montana blaze orange clarification?

    I'll be hunting Mt. for the first time. What's the situation with camo blaze orange? The regs. only state that you must wear 400 " above the waist. I have a Kyrptek Inferno vest. I have no idea if it meets the 400" threshold. You that have been there, done that. Does a camo blaze orange vest...

    Guide Jacket Fit?

    Hello once again. I believe I'll start with the Guide Jacket as it's getting favorable comments from its users. I originally wanted to "buy American" but that seems impossible as about everything I researched was made in Asia. That being said I have a question on the fit/sizing. How's the cut of...

    Guide jacket or Chugach?

    I've pretty much decided on Kuiu. As a first piece I'll buy a jacket. First impression was Guide jacket, however the Chugach seems to have about the same desireable features. I did notice that the Chugach is a hard shell. My question is this. Is there a difference in the sound(noice) made...

    Kuiu Canadian Made?

    Hello: I'm planning to give myself a Christmas present and purchase a few pieces of high end clothing. Is it my understanding that KUIU products are made in Canada? Seems most of the stuff I've looked at was Asian made. Just a personal quirk but I'd rather buy Canadian than Asian.

    Tripod Recommendations?

    Hello: I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm going through a bit of pre-hunt equipment anxiety. I'd like a different tripod for my "packing" spotter which is a Vortex Razor 11-33x50. My present tripod is too heavy, bulky, and not needed for the smaller Vortex. Any suggestions for a...

    Sorry if this is a topic that has already been covered but I'm looking for recommendations/reviews for GPS handheld devices and the usage of the onx maps.

    Leupold CDS or B&C Reticle?

    Hello: I'm looking to put a new scope on a rifle I intend to use mostly for open country hunting. I'm leaning strongly towards the Leupold VX3. I'd like a system or reticle for the long shot if that is what's needed. By long range I'm talking 550-600 yards as that is the limit for me and the...

    300 Weatherby reloads

    Hello: I recently acquired a dandy rifle made by Brown Precision chambered in 300 Weatherby. I'm not sure that chambering would be first on my list, however it was a very good transaction. Hopefully some day I'll make a trip somewhere that the 300 Weatherby at full throttle will be needed. In...
