    SKB bow case - # of padlocks for airline travel?

    You might want to check out the lockpicking lawyer channel on YouTube and then never use a masterlock to secure anything you care about. Most of them appear to take only a couple of seconds to open without keys.

    BaseMap vs OnX

    Once for me. It has problems, but the way Basemaps deals with offline maps is unacceptable. I usually don't hunt where there is good reception so offline maps are everything. Basemaps individual offline chunks provide a horrible experience. It needs to be seamless. With onx I download my whole...

    329PD Very Shootable

    Care to debunk this instead of just make unsupported comments? I see the same thing with my .357. 200gr BB loads impact higher than much faster 125gr practice loads.

    Family RV trip advice

    If you are going through Missoula stop in and check out the RMEF info center there. They have some awesome elk mounts.

    Wrangler outdoor pants

    They do! I'm 6'3" with a 32" inseam. What we really need is some of these hunting clothing companies to start making tall shirts instead if crop tops. ;) But on a more serious note, that is disappointing you can't get ones that fit. Have you checked their website and not just in stores? Do they...

    Montana?

    The organization Montana uses is NBEF https://nbef.org/ They appear to be pretty universal so I think one of their courses should count for most of the USA and Canada. Montana requires a field day along with the online class, so I'm not sure how that works, but I'd expect them to just honor a...

    Montana?

    Your previous years archery license IS proof of taking a training course. If you didn't have a previous archery license you would need a bowhunter ed certificate. They are working off the assumption that other states also require education before getting an archery license. Sent from my Nexus...

    Bino harness?? Badlands or horn hunter

    I have the XR and like it. Opening away and the magnetic closing is nice. I use the cellphone pocket on the back all the time for ready access to maps and land ownership. I really don't like systems that have the rangefinder off center and on a thinner strap that sags. It just isn't comfortable...

    What's the smallest mule deer buck you would shoot?

    Well, my goals for hunting are two things: Spending time with family and bring home some meat to slightly offset the cost and have healthier meat in the house. With those in mind I try not to shoot tiny guys the first few days of the season but realistically I only get out for maybe 10 days...

    Trekking Poles into Bi-Pod

    I have a larger sized S-biner and can clip it to both poles and it will help hold them in an X. It works a little better than just crossing the straps for me.

    Meat tarps

    I'm normally for the visqueen/painters plastic, but I think I may be switching to dollar store tablecloths to get it less slippy and more durable.

    Packs for Longer Torsos

    As a fellow long torsoist (6'3" - 32" inseam pants). I'd say you can skip Badlands. I like their stuff, but I tried on 5 or so of their packs at Sportsman's and none of them were long enough to use the waist belts. I have a daypack from them with no waist belt that I like but they don't work for...

    When is a binocular "bright enough?"

    If think it mostly depends on how you hunt. If you hunt from a tree stand or blind with a trade bow then you probably need binos that can identify antlers at 20 yards or so during shooting light... The way I hunt we usually drive out well before first light and have a couple of small mountains...

    Smartphone compatible lightweight gloves?

    The kryptek ones are. It depends on how light you want though. They are super thin/light. The touchscreen bits are black on the ones I have. Krypton Cold Weather Lightweight Camo Hunting Gloves | Kryptek

    Time for a range finder upgrade

    I'd say go with the Leica unless you have hand tremors or can't swing the money. I bought the Nikon and the one I got was a dud. I returned it and got the Sig. The Sig is great. I've done side by side comparisons with all three. The Leica 1600b I was testing was slower to range but could range...
