Well, i just picked up a used/ slghtly modified rambler so I own both of the lamest bags made now!
For my style of hunting they work just fine. I used my nomad on a quebec caribou hunt and it worked great. Easy access to raingear and optics, and when it got to killing time it packed four...
I've got my fingers crossed that the draw is similiar to last year. We were looking at about 75 % odds based on last years stats. 11 more days and hopefully the planning starts for real!
That's good to hear. I thought i was going to grab a Reckoning to put on my "loaner" duplex, but that may have to wait.This would be perfect for a daypack to hunt antelope from the truck. I sometimes find myself miles from the truck, and would have to back track to pick up a kill. With the meat...
I hae multiple pieces- didn,t like the first gen hoodie, it pilled up, but it was more of a stylistic issue, i don't wear hoodies much. I have the ailos armor pants- a little noisy but super comfortable and really well built. I love the borealis hybrid- my son wears it more than i do but i put...
I think that my best bet to kill a good haired up goat is to go to Kodiak Island. So I am looking for suggestions on who to book with or who to steer clear off. I have enough points elsewhere to keep myself busy if it takes a couple two- three years to draw. Unless I can find a last minute deal...
I drive by the cabelas in Dundee, MI. Basic rules for myself. 1) Never shop without having a discount card in your pocket. There is a never ending supply of them. 2) Always have a plan- know what you want and wait for a sale. 3) these rules are especially true with optics and guns. It has to be...
How are things looking in the central region in regards to snow pack and winter kill? I was planning on using the 6 points both my son and i have, but I'm a little spooked by some of the reports on the potential for winter kill. Granted, most of the reports are focused on deer, but there has...
I had an unusual experience tonight- i stopped by the Cabelas in Dundee,MI and strolled into the gun library. I usually give it a quick once over to see if there are any interesting "premium" rifles.
Tonight i was able to compare side by side a kimber mountain ascent, a fierce, a christensn...
I pulled the trigger on the mountain pants. Most of my hunting will be in September or October, so i think they will be just right. Thank god for the Sitka sales n January. I picked up the mountain pants and a traverse cold weather hoody. Inhaven't receved the cold weather hoody yet, bu based on...
Great feedback, it was what I hoped to hear. I think i'll give the mountain pants a go this fall for some antelope hunting and exploring some new ground in Wyoming and Colorado. They should be just the ticket for tromping around hunting and scouting the high plains. The timberlines will get...
I am trying to wrap my head around the differences between the three pants. Even though i have a cabelas close, they don't have any of those pants in stock. The only pants they have are the whitetail series equinox. Those reminded me a lot of my grinder pants in the waterfowl series. Has anyone...
I just returned from a caribou hunt in Quebec, and was able to really put my duplex/nomad combo through a good test .
I chose the nomad for it's flexibility as a daypack, and it worked great for that purpose. I was covering 8-10 miles a day hunting from ridge to ridge spotting bulls and was...
