    Wind proof puffy or liner recomendations

    I have a KUIU Teton puffy and love it for elk hunting but it sucks in a tree stand with any wind. I have a windstopper pullover from years ago but it's a bit too bulky. I'd like to find a lightweight liner to go over it, or a puffy jacket that is windproof (not many seem to be as they are for...

    How to get a NM landowner tag?

    After 20+ years of hunting CO and WY I'm looking at giving NM a try. Since I didn't draw a tag I'd like to know the proper procedure for buying a landowner tag. When can I do that? What's the best way to get one, is there a list of landowners you cold call? Also for ranch only tags does that...

    AK Sitka with a Traditional Bow

    It’s a dream on mine to take an AK Sitka blacktail with my recurve. That means being able to get close which is the key factor in figure out where and when to go. I would also prefer to hunt when the bucks are hard horned. What area and time would provide the best opportunity for a...

    MT draw question - refunds?

    I'm looking at trying to draw a MT limited elk permit but I never applied there before. My understanding is I have to first draw the big game or elk combo license, then draw the limited permit. If I don't draw the limited permit chances are I drew a general combo license? Does that net me a...

    Finding elk in central MT compared to other states?

    I've been DIY public land bowhunting elk in CO and WY for 20+ years but I always had an interest in MT, partly because it's closer. The recent thread if MT is worth the price got me thinking again as a combo tag would be cool as I could perhaps do multiple trips. But I don't want to hunt near...

    Sold FS: Kenetrek 10" rancher pac boots, sz 8 almost new.

    If you are like me you would be leery of buying used boots but have no fear with these. I bought brand new and only wore them once outside and put at most 1 mile on them. I wore clean socks and never sweated so they still smell new. They have a few scuffs on the rubber bottoms from brush and...

    Real outfitted AK drop camps, not just air service?

    I have a buddy that wants to go caribou hunting but doesn't want to do just the air service and then deal with camping equipment. Are there outfitters or services with fully supplied drop camps (cabins/wall tents, cots, cooking gear) like they do for elk in most western states? You know, show...

    Overboots, Overshoes for extra warmth?

    I'm going to be chasing Coues deer in southern AZ in January. Despite the warm daytime temps it can get quite cold in the morning especially when not moving (I do a lot of stand hunting since I shoot a trad bow). The problem is it gets warm pretty quick, too warm for insulated boots later in...

    Expired MH meals still good?

    I have some pro-paks from 2013 and 2014 that look in good shape. I know they are not spoiled but will they still taste OK?

    AA battery powered USB charger?

    I always carry spare batteries for my phone, camera, ipod when backpacking. Has anyone used one of these rechargers? The advantage is everything else I use takes AA (lithium) so I am already carrying spares, and I figure this will save weight and room if I only need this and a 4 more lithium...

    Kuiu or high tech fabric wanted

    I'd like to expand the forearms on my KUIU Chinook jacket so need 2 strips of fabric a bit more than 1" wide and 10" long. Ideal I'd like something synthetic with a bit of stretch, like attack pants. If anyone has cut-offs or a trashed jacket/pants of anything like this let me know. Color is...

    KUIU Jacket Alteration?

    I have a KUIU Chinook jacket. Since it's a small and was a limited run it's priceless, but the forearms are very tight so I was thinking of adding a zipper to get a bit more room for a puffy (as it is now i's very tight which defeats the purpose of a puffy). My options are a local tailor...

    Why all the KUIU sales?

    What's up with KUIU, it seems every week is another 10-25-30% off sale. Seems like a serious attempt to dump inventory like never before, so is that just what it is or are there other reasons?

    Most Durable KUIU Rain Pants?

    I learned a lesson last year, morning dew can get you very wet and gators are too short for me. I'm looking for rain pants that are durable first and lightweight second to wear in these situations. I have Cabelas space rain and they are not durable. I also have their MT050 which were until I...

    Fixing small holes in rain gear?

    I have a set of Cabelas MT050 and Space Rain pants that have a few small holes. I've fixed one hole before in the MT050 with I think silicone but that was years ago. Any ideas? I found the holes with a flashlight so it should be easy to fix them with whatever the right stuff is. Thanks.

    Best Elk Calling DVD Ever

    I've been out west elk hunting at least 20 times so I like to think I know a thing or two. I know I've made every mistake possible, many more than once (I'm suborn, stupid or both). Instinctive Elk Calling DVD by Joel Turner was a revelation and explains many calling situations I've been in...

    Kuiu Glove Sizing?

    Now that their forum is gone I can't remember how the Yukon gloves fit. I thought they ran a bit small?

    Kuiu Pro vs Kifaru Bikini Suspention?

    Not trying to open a debate here, but I have tried a Kifaru Bikini frame and thought the suspension, specifically waist belt, was good. I also tried a Kuiu Ultra pack and it was not. Like to know how the Kuiu Pro waist belt rates in comparison. I know it’s better than the Ultra but is it...

    Montana elk decoy pole lengths, Cow 1 vs Sept?

    I have a cow elk 1 decoy I've had forever, but the head "broke" (the plastic inside thing that pulls up). It doesn't look like an easy fix so I might be in the market (more like want) a newer version, but I made custom poles out of carbon arrows that weigh nothing. Miss Sept looks like it...
