    What chest binos do you run? Western hunters only.

    My perfect set up would be to have both Swaro 8x32 EL and a set of Swaro 12x50 EL. That way I'd have the choice to pick the most appropriate bino for the hunt I'm going on. If you had 2 pairs of great bins and a 65mm spotter you're pretty well covered. I have had Nikon Monarch 5's, Vortex...

    New truck?

    My last truck was a 2005 Tundra 4x4 Double Cab 4.7...I purchased it in 2010 for $20,400 OTD....I put 100K miles on it and sold it 8 years later for $14,500.....That's hard to beat. Not one issue with the truck. I just purchased (maybe 12 months ago) a 2018 SR5 Tundra 4x4 5.7.......It's the...

    Is this orange vest legal?

    Given the choice I wouldn't wear Orange most of the time. At most I'd wear a hat or a panel strapped to my pack if I'm packing out game. I absolutely despise having to wear orange in the name of "safety".

    Who hunts with newer/older archery equipment

    I think the bows that have come out in the last 5 years may be as good as it gets in terms of smoothness, speed, vibration etc. I don't see it getting much better either...all marketing. If you look at the weights and speeds of the bows in the past 5 years I don't see a lot of improvement if...

    Using a MR Guide Lite frame pack for normal, non-hunting backpacking

    Hunting packs for everything. They cost enough so use them as much as you can.

    Talk me out of a bivy... Please.

    I just bought the Seek Outside Silex. Seems hard to beat if you run trekking poles and are going to be on the move.

    Bear Safety in the Rockies

    I'm assuming you're all for the hunting of Grizzlies in WY. I put in a for a tag last year. I'm all for the state managing it's wildlife. Its pretty hard for the detached lawmakers in DC to come up with sound hunting regulations and policy for western states. I realize you have issue with...
