    Early season archery deer. Solo or Group?

    I don’t see this topic discussed much on forums. I know elk hunters have a preference of hunting in groups of at least 2 but a lot of guys like 3-4 in a camp. This pretty much holds true for all times of year. So when it comes to deer, particularly the early seasons what’s the verdict? Is solo...

    Kifaru Hoodlum

    Just looking for a little clarity on the volume of this pack. The Kifaru website has it listed at 6,500 cubic inches. In the video from the product page Aron says it’s about 6,500 and that’s not including in the side pockets. Does anyone know if that’s correct or might he have misspoke? Thanks

    Hey all, Several months ago I posted a thread on boot help. I ordered a pair of scarpa charmoz really hoping they would work.
