    Kuiu Pant selection?

    This is my experience also with the Tiburons, Attacks, Pro Pants, and Katana's. The Katana's have become my goto AZ pant, from Aug/Sept archery deer and elk up north(ern AZ) to Nov - Jan coues/mule deer and sheep hunts in the desert. (For later season mule deer and elk hunts up in northern...

    Marsupial enclosed reviews!

    I've owned and used multiple different bino harnesses. I used the original non-enclosed marsupial harnesses and would get frustrated by the amount of dust that would coat the lenses on my geovids during scouting and hunting. I tried the new(er) KUIU fully enclosed pro bino harness, and while...

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf vs New Kuiu Pro Series

    I have an older MR Metcalf (gen1) and a KUIU 3200 (I can't remember if it is PRO model or not). On my son's upcoming elk hunt he'll be using the 3200 and I'll be using the metcalf. Overall, I prefer the metcalf. I tend to use the 3200 for day outing early season archery hunts. For rifle...

    KUTANA Question

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 170. I have a 33" waist and if pants are snug it is in the thighs and butt. I wear 34's in attacks, and they are about an inch or so too big in the waist. I purchased 34" and 36" KUTANA pants, with the plan to send back the ones I didn't like. I got the 34's in vias...

    Browning Hells Canyon Speed reviews

    I finally got to take an animal with my 6.5 HC speed this past week. I am really liking the rifle and it is shooting the Precision Hunter 143 gr ELDX's very well. My son has taken 3 animals with it, javelina, cow elk, and a 3 pt mule deer. All hunting kills have been 250 yards or under, but...

    Kuiu Axis vs Guide

    As you said, difference is in the details. I passed my old guide jacket down to my son, and upgraded to the Axis. After owning both, not sure there is a reason for the guide jacket anymore. Guide is a pure softshell. Only good for a slight chill in the air, as wind penetrates it and and the...

    Pick a 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet for Elk

    My son used my 6.5 CM last year for his cow elk hunt and mule deer hunt. Shot both animals with 143 gr ELDX. Cow was 220 yards. One shot kill, she dropped within 20 yards of where he shot her. Bullet was stopped/recovered in offside hide. (Thought I might have a pic of it, but couldn't...

    Canyon cooler 125

    I believe they charge $0.99 per pound. Extra for any sausage. I've been very pleased with Casey's over the years. I usually process my own deer, but we've used them for elk for many years now. I am pretty particular regarding meat cleanliness and always make sure to drop off as clean and hair...

    Canyon cooler 125

    Not sure about fresh boned out meat, but here is a pic of my son's cow elk when we picked it up from the processor in a Canyon Cooler 125qt. Pretty much filled it up. We had dropped off only boneless meat and 4 quarters.

    Kuiu Talus Hybrid Pant Review, By Jim Carr

    The Talus are a slimmer fit in the crotch/upper thighs. I compared the crotch gusset between my newest attacks and the Talus and the Talus is about an inch narrower. I'm wondering if they did this so that the fabric isn't rubbing against itself as much? I prefer the attack fit, but the...

    Salomon Quest 4 differences

    I don't know what the difference is between the 2 and 3. The lace lock system is the hook above the bottom lace eyelets that is on the side. It 'pinches' the laces and holds it in place. To undo the laces on mine, I have to give a decent yank on the laces. My view of those boots is they...

    Zip off base layers

    Feel like these are the most underrated piece of clothing kit out there. Friends have been skeptical about them, but after seeing them in action, they've become believers. I personally like the shorter length since it is easier to strip them off while wearing gaiters without undoing the...

    Golite Shangrila 4

    No, 2 and a stove would probably work, but be tight. Not sure if gear would fit with a stove and two guys. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Golite Shangrila 4

    Not the best pics, but might give you an idea of the size of a SL4. It was perfect for 2 guys and gear.

    Mystery Ranch Marshall vs Metcalf

    A buddy and I both did a 9-10 day early season archery deer hunt (in 2013) using our Metcalfs. We shared gear (tent/stove/etc) and had enough room in our bags. The metcalf compresses down extremely well for using as a day pack and is my goto bag for gear intensive day hunts and multi-day hunts.
