    My Arizona Coues

    That's a very nice coues buck! They are the prettiest deer with Sitka blacktails not far behind. I'm still working on my first Coues and have yet to hunt Sitka. Isn't it ironic that some of the most desirable deer sport the smallest antlers? I always wants a coues mount so when someone asked...

    Which pack raft for Charley River?

    We were debating (i.e. cost cutting) if we could get by with 2 hunters per Legend (sub 200# humans). Dexter, it appeared by your description you and your wife were in 1 raft? Also your entire group started and ended in Circle? Who did you fly with?

    Wind proof puffy or liner recomendations

    I've got fleece but facing a 20 mph wind on a 20F day on a hill top 20 feet up in a tree on the edge of a cut cornfield only a true windproof fabric will work.

    Wind proof puffy or liner recomendations

    I have a KUIU Teton puffy and love it for elk hunting but it sucks in a tree stand with any wind. I have a windstopper pullover from years ago but it's a bit too bulky.

    2020-24 season structure options

    Xop vs lone wolf

    By the time I found this I already ordered a LW assault, mainly because of the weight as I'm flying to Arizona with it. Was a bit bummed as it doesn't come with the ez hang hook, but it's very solid and weights 11.5# with everything. I think I'm going to drill a hole in the seat post to mount...

    Xop vs lone wolf

    So does the XOP batwing function the same as the LW for use on crooked trees? Not the quick hang bracket but the batwing that comes with the XOP. The bracket is a separate accessory?

    AK Sitka with a Traditional Bow

    Thanks for all the advice. I'll likely have to do the boat thing since I'm solo as I can't seem to convince anyone else to go. That and being able to sleep at night instead of worrying about ending up inside a grizzly.

    Beautiful animal. That's one reason why I want to hunt them, best looking deer on the planet.
