    Camo shirt that is not $100 but good for multi-day trip

    Hey everyone, I'm in need of a basic camo shirt that I can use for rifle/archery mule deer hunting. Not looking to pay $100 for the fanciest camoflauge pattern out there but I DO like the idea of Merino wool or something that will help me hunt hard and stay in the field longer. I like the idea...

    Opinion of 10x42 or 12x50 Binos

    I have a pair of swaro 12x50s. Occasionally I'll glass something really close and be annoyed at how shaky they are. Glassing things at medium range to far off with just my hands is no problem. BUT once you put them on a good tripod they are AMAZING. I've only had them for one year and so far...

    Bowls and basins

    Thanks everyone for the information. Even learned a lot from the comments that have nothing to do with the original question. Am I right in assuming that there are "hunting bro's" out there? That's what I've gathered from this thread at least, lol. Going on leave for a week so I'll be doing...

    Newbie questions about packing out meat

    Meat directly in the stream? Or in a waterproof bag then in a stream? I always thought moisture was bad for meat but keep in mind I'm coming from a white tail background where we do things a bit differently. This is all new to me

    Newbie questions about packing out meat

    Gallon jugs is a smart idea! The BOMB bags look good. I wasn't sure if I'd be boning out or not so figured I'd go a tad bigger even though it would be some extra weight. I'll do some more thinking. It's possible I'd bone out but for that much money I'd like to buy once and use for every...

    Newbie questions about packing out meat

    Ok this is coming from an eastern white tail guy who is used to loading up the pickup truck. I'm in the west now and about to do my first mule deer hunt(s). Military guy who has buddies in NV and CA and got OTC tags and will at least have some help from experienced guys. First off, bone in or...
