These are my third pair of Quest 4Ds and I absolutely love them. Unfortunately, the waterproofing hatched out on this pair much earlier than my other two. They still have a ton of life left in the leather and tread so they would be perfect for summer or dry hunts. I already have a pair that are...
I really tried to like these boots but they were simply too heavy for my style of hunting.
Treated with Kenetrek's leather treatment and only worn for a couple hikes to break in. Then hunted no more than 20 miles. Tread is 90% and the only damage is one small scratch in leather. You can see...
I had the exact same problem with a pair of Kenetreks. Felt great in the store and breaking in on flat land. Started up a steep hill and my heels were shredded in half a mile. Tried countless sock, insole, and lacing techniques. Nothing would work. Had to go back to my Salomon Quests for the...
Draw odds for rifle deer in ND have been pretty bad recently. So one of my friends has decided to try archery. I told him that he should prepare for a $1200 bill for a new bow... Minimum. He had a little sticker shock at that and was wondering if you can get a decent setup for less than $700 or...
After a couple years of making a lot of "swish" noises every time I get into some brush or my ankles or fatty thighs rub together, I've decided to check with you guys. I archery hunt some thick cover and seem to get close to deer and elk to the point where sound concerns me. (Ok maybe not so...
Correct. Not sure why the have DWR on the alpine page... And then even mention that it is featured on alpine pants. Still haven't heard from Kuiu on this. I'll update you all on their response.

This review was either completely made up or my alpine pants are not the same. There's no way you'd think mine are water repellent.
Kuiu Alpine Pant Review
I just took a walk outside in some new Alpine pants and noticed they soaked up the light sprinkle like a sponge. I checked all my other stuff when I got home and even the Tiburon clothing has water from the faucet bouncing right off. Water on the Alpines soaks in immediately. Has anyone seen...
A distant relative of mine owns multiple ranches in western North Dakota and has enrolled one of them into ND's PLOTS (Private Land Open to Sportsmen) program. 22,000 acres! While I am slightly bummed about no longer having access to private property, this is a great opportunity for DIY, public...
I've had good success with diaphragm cow calls but seem to always be working smaller satellite bulls. My hunt has always been a little later in September and the larger herd bulls pay ZERO attention to any cow call once they've herded up. I've decided to try my hand at bugling to see if I can...
I've had a pair of Quest 4D 2s for the last two early season elk hunts. They have been very comfortable and I've had zero hot spots even after 10+ mile days. I want to step up to a better mountain boot as I've felt the Salomons don't have the ankle support and my feet would be hurting after...
