tough crowd.
Thanks for bringing this information out. It is one of the metrics I like looking at and although like many have said is not 100% accurate, it is a metric that one can use in making tag decisions.
I find it odd though because in looking over some units for species in another...
Gentleman-
- meats coming from (originating) NZ directly into the US are allowed.
- meats transiting through US to another country- as long as the products are checked through and no overnight layover are not regulated in the US and allowed to continue on to their final destination. The final...
Ditto to this. K2 was a great pack- if they made it in a 26” version and not the 25” I don’t think I ever would have needed to buy another pack. Run the K4 now
In reading all of Forms tests and opinions my major take away is that there can be lemons in good scopes and diamonds in bad scopes- both are just as rare.
The tests and results are a “guideline” for scope purchases so that you don’t have to drop the guns and scopes to test for failure- I...
Take a look at your hunting style as well. Some packs function better for a bush whacking still hunter than others.

Effective range currently...
1- I have always favored the ability to use a meat shelf over the bag so I can adjust the meat higher to fit my frame and curved back better. I was disappointed when I saw the new meat shelf was Soo long- however after some testing - for me maximizing the height of the meat shelf fit perfect for...
I don't have a K4 5000, however all of EXO bags over the years have had the same basic layout.
For day trips: I would divide my first aid kit, game bags, knives, saw This would fill about 1/3 of the bottom and leave the main bag open for rain gear, clothing layers, food, etc.
backpack trips: I...
I would recommend the 3 blade Wac’em .. never liked the 2 blade- even with bleeders. They penetrate, but overall cut is smaller and can produce poor blood trails.
Wacem is true COC head, not the chisel kind with razor sharp blades.
