    Stretching/yoga routine

    Has Yoga helped any of you with Shin splints? side hilling for multiple days has gotten to me in the past, and I am looking for ways to do more in the off season. I notice the issue most right now if I snow ski multiple days in a row. I ski 40 days plus a year, but if I ski hard I notice...

    Suunto watches?

    Has anyone tried the TomTom Adventurer? I have been looking at Suunto Traverse and Garmin Fenix 5, but wanted to see what the experiences were with the TomTom.

    new Mex. unit 52 game processor

    Mel's custom meat processing in Antonito, Colorado. We did not use them, but saw several animals being brought in. We had processed our own last year and didn't need assistance, but we had lunch in Antonito and saw lots of animals coming in. Best of luck

    single pin hunting sight?

    I have a vital bow gear site that no longer exists. I would be looking to HHA or Black Gold if I were to be in the market for new one.

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    . with regard to the length, I think you are correct on 22 inches long being too long for the pocket. my spotter is 14.75 + scope cover. I would bet the pocket is about 17 inches long, maybe 18 at the most and with narrow tripod, maybe you get a 19 inch in the pocket, but not likely on 22...

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    I have not had that issue, but I haven't been hunting on that wet of a day recently. snow, yes, but not rain to that extent. I also bought the rain cover for the pack for that reason, because I know it is a matter of time before I do have a wet day or wet week.

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    It is about preference. I use the STS - straight, because I like the target acquisition better in finding the animal faster being straight similar to binoculars or a rifle scope. I have used the ATS and it has some benefits, but it comes down to preference.

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    what set up are you trying to put in it? I am in Spokane if you would like to check it out at some point this spring.

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    this would be accurate that an 85 won't fit in the side pocket of a 6900. my swaro sts 20-60x65 HD fits perfectly, and on the other side I have an Outdoorsman Compact Medium with a pistol grip head that fits in the other side with room to spare.

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    I use it for everything, because it still weighs less than 5lbs. I break it down to bivy mode and take the lid off and either put it inside the pack or leave it at home on day hunts. I don't think it is too big, because of the way it compresses down. Day hunt for archery season. I have a few...

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    i have been using the SG for the last couple of years. I had the Sky Archer 6200 and last year upgraded to the Sky Talus 6900. This bag set up is perfect for me whether in Day/bivy mode or in 9 day alpine hunt. There was nothing wrong with the 6200, but I lost enough weight that I needed to...

    $2500 Budget for Spotting Scope

    The ATS or STS 20-60x65HD is currently $2268 through most vendors. However, If you are not in a hurry Swarovski has been doing a sale almost every August that gets down another 10%. I think they have done that sale 2 out of the last 3 years.

    Cooper's "Name the Rifle" contest- win $500 off a Cooper rifle

    Scapegoat - which would be after the Scapegoat wilderness, but with an underlying meaning of the actual definition or understanding of what a Scapegoat is "A scapegoat is a person or animal which takes on the sins of others" May not be the image you are looking for, but I liked it.
