    Using Osprey pack for backcountry hunt

    Using Osprey pack for backcountry hunt

    I’ve done quite a bit of backpacking and have an Osprey Atmos 65 pack. This fall I’ll be doing my first backcountry hunt and am on the fence about get a hunting specific backpack.

    Montana Castle Mountains

    We’ve got the combo, so deer are definitely on the menu. Were the deer on public or on the surrounding private?

    Montana Castle Mountains

    I’m headed to Montana this year and looking at the Castle or Little Belts for general rifle. One thing I‘ve noticed with the castles is that they are extremely wooded with minimal glassing points. For those who have hunted either the Castles or heavily wooded areas during rifle, how difficult is...

    Anyone have a Bergara rifle

    I’ve got two B-14 Hunters—one in .270 Win and one in .243 Win. Both shoot sub MOA with factory loads. Here’s a picture of my son (11 yrs old) with 6 shots at 100 yards with the .243. Using Winchester Deer Season XP factory loads.

    Kuiu Axis vs First Lite Catalyst Foundry

    Do you know if there is much of a difference between the Corrugate Foundry and Prana Brion/Zion pants? I’ve got the Prana and really like them.

    Questions on Kuiu Axis Hybrid Jacket?

    I have the Axis and wouldn’t wear it deer hunting at those temps. It’s a pretty thin soft shell. It breaks the wind alright, but there isn’t much for insulation if you’re static. But if you’re a warm body, it might work with a furnace and fanatic under it, but personally, no.

    Kuiu Axis vs First Lite Catalyst Foundry

    I’m heading to Montana on a elk/mule deer hunt in late October/early November this year. Has anyone done a direct comparison between the Kuiu Axis Hybrid pants and the First Lite Catalyst Foundry pants? I can’t find a review of someone who has experience with both anywhere.
