    Kuiu Tents - Summit Star 1P vs. Mountain Star

    Been researching heavily into Kuiu tent/shelter options for archery-early fall seasons in CO. Use case would be 1P. Since use would be early season, I don’t think a stove would be needed. Trying to be light-ish, easy to manage, and mobile as needed. Both seem to right around 3lbs if you use all...

    Elk Decoy as Cover to Stalk In?

    Anybody had any success using an elk decoy as cover to hide behind as you move in closer to elk? Elk area I hunt is open terrain so I’m brainstorming strategies to move to the elk if needed. Attempting to stalk around in the open, with pretty sparse and patchy cover has been a guaranteed loser...

    Elk Decoys - Open Country - Gimmick or Legit?

    Last few years I’ve have been archery hunting elk, typically solo, in a lower elevation location that has large open meadows and parks intermixed with rolling hills of oak brush. The mostly open terrain, with patches of cover, is a puzzle that makes it pretty impossible to be mobile in pursuit...

    Kuiu Tents - Summit Star vs Mountain Star

    Is the lighter weight of the Summit Star worth it? Expected use: early season: archery elk, summer scouting, and occasional mid-season: rifle deer/elk. Seems like the mountain star is definitely more robust, but still described as lightweight. Obviously the mountain Star is 2P and the...

    Axis or Talus Pants

    From my understanding, both have comparable waterproof paneling in the knees, butt, and lower legs. Talus has knee pads, while Axis does not. Axis is apparently just a little warmer? Anyone else that can provide some additional intel to help differentiate the features between the two, and...

    Pre-2020 vs 2020 Mystery Ranch - Metcalf/Pintler

    Have an opportunity to buy a metcalf/Pintler combo that is pre-2020 at a very good price. Has the guide lite frame, not the new guide light MT frame/belt on the 2020 packs. Are the new 2020 improvements to the frame, belt, and bags, really worth passing up buying the older models? Are older...
