Hanwag Alverstone II
I just purchased a pair Alverstone II's and wearing them around they feel great aside from the rubbing caused by the fabric at the very top of the back/collar of the boot. Is this something that resolves itself after the break-in period? Is it an issue caused by tying the boots too tight? I'm... -
Where to look when no food sources
That is contingent on the ecological landscape you find yourself in. The short, easy answer is where pressure isn't. Assuming your hunting mature bucks, they'll travel miles to their primary food sources. That could be thick CRP cover, marshes, swamps, or even overlooked areas along roads / near...- MIedge

Run n gun system?
This past year I took the Kifaru 22mag off of my 24" tactical frame and strapped my LW assault / sticks / hunting clothing to it with compression straps and a guide lid. It worked great and was rock solid especially on the long hikes in. Even with this comfortable setup I found myself avoiding...- MIedge

The Hunting Public
They're the best whitetail content out there right now, super relatable and they keep things fun which is something that I think is lacking in a lot of shows today. Their mouse hunts in the house had me rolling. I haven't tried their wind bump strategy but I plan on ordering a guillie suit in...- MIedge

What do you use for a Bino Harness?
I started out with the Vortex glass pack and it got the job done but I didn't like it overall. Moved on to the FHF Pro-M harness and I love it so far. Only part of the system that I think is crap is their leash. It flops around and makes too much noise, so I'll be looking to upgrade that this...- MIedge

Do you hunt for the hunt?
For me personally, I have stand/ambush hunted MI my entire life. So when I am lucky enough to head out west for a trip, the novelty of a spot and stalk hunt is what it is all about. We sit and glass high points in the early AM but if we don't bed anything down then I like to go sneaking. With... -
Lightweight climbing stick and stand options?
The height I set my stand at is situational. If I'm hunting a swamp or marsh, I may only be 8-10ft off the ground because A. that's as high as the trees in the area allow or B. that is as high as the cover in the trees will allow me to go. You generally do not want to stick out like a sore thumb...- MIedge

Lightweight climbing stick and stand options?
I have a LW assault and like it a lot. But if that is the route you're looking to go, I always suggest going with the XOP vanish or XOP's version of the Alpha to save a good chunk of change. They're essentially the same stands with significantly different price tags. I also used the Millenium...- MIedge

Jetboil Counterparts
Another vote for the MSR Windburner. It has worked flawlessly for me the last few years. Somewhere down the line I'll find my way into the reactor but the windburner works great for me as of now. As far as Jetboil is concerned, I watched my buddy's hopes and dreams crushed as his stove melted... -
New to Whitetail/Muddy Gear
Scout, scout, hunt. Scouting any time you get a chance is extremely valuable, especially during the season. Have multiple locations in mind when entering an area and then scout your way in to set up on the hottest/freshest sign. It is also important to scout/pattern other hunters as well because...- MIedge

SE Whitetail Saddle Hunters?
I'm 5 weeks into the 6 week lead time on my order of a Tethrd Mantis saddle so I don't personally have any experience with it yet. There has been a lot of times the past couple of years where I have wussed out on humping all my gear a couple miles back on public so I mostly made the jump to the...- MIedge

Scent control
Play the wind and go out of your way to take the right access to your destination. Also merino wool baselayers are antimicrobial so that always helps for those occasions where showers are out of the question. In most scenarios, I'm sweating by the time I make it to my desired tree so I really do...- MIedge
