    Independent Gear Reviews

    Exo is going to be fairly unbiased, they actively refuse affiliates so that they can use the gear that they want and pick what they think is best. Sorting though the various comments on gear on rokslide gives you a great overall picture as well. I'd say most of my current gear list has been...

    Barriers for new hunters? (Poll)

    Weighted Pack Recommendations

    Looks like you got a lot of good advice, for me - 30-50 lbs for prep. Then a month or two before season,almost always 50-80 lbs. Use trekking poles for weights over 60lbs. Never had any knee or back problems doing this, and when season starts, my pack is delightful to put on compared to my training.

    First time archery elk montana

    If you are eager to kill an elk and want to improve your odds of finding elk, spend a fair amount of time studying Corey Jacobsons elk 101 course. He gives you info that will put you at least a couple years ahead of most new elk hunters.
