    New Digiscoping Option—MagView **Review Added 8/3/22**

    I regularly send gear to buddies in NZ - I can help if you get stuck. No charge, just cover the costs. Shoot me a PM if the freight co ends up being a hassle - I can provide NZ references to confirm it’s legit.

    KS Deer Draw 2022

    Is anyone seeing mule deer results yet? I was under the impression that the mule deer upgrade was drawn after the initial draw, but having never drawn it before I’m curious how soon that info would appear in a user’s account. I drew the whitetail tag and definitely applied for the mulie upgrade...

    KS Deer Draw 2022

    Confirmed - the topic of deer draw dates was not discussed by the commission. They did, however, confirm dates for each of the various deer seasons, as well as set the season dates and quotas for 2022 antelope and elk hunting in KS. Until now, I was unaware that archery antelope hunting IS...

    KS Deer Draw 2022

    Yeah, I'm hoping that's errant information and they get the KS draw done before June 6th. If it runs late, it makes sliding a backup Iowa application in under the deadline problematic... Might just listen in to that commission meeting so see if its discussed.

    KS Deer Draw 2022

    Does this mtg of the KDWP commission tomorrow have to get resolved before they hold the draw? https://ksoutdoors.com/KDWP-Info/News/Weekly-News/5-16-22-KDWP-Commission-to-Hold-Special-Meeting/KDWP-Commission-to-Hold-Special-Meeting

    Rucking pack recommendation

    My 2 cents... I've used the Atlas trainer for the past few years and put lots of miles on it. I've got no complaints with the quality of the build or any of the components - its both solid and still functions like new after extensive use. The system holds the plates tight and is stable on the...

    ghillie suits

    I too am looking for recommendations on a new ghillie jacket. Been running the Arctus Ghost Ghillie (its available on Amazon for around $100) in western KS and western NE for the past year, but am looking for something that blends better with the CRP in that part of the country. See attached...

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    I'm not familiar with the hills around Hokitika and Harihari, but I think the areas you listed are far enough north that you shouldn't have to contend with the Tahr Ballot Blocks in May/June - all the same, you may want to follow up with either DoC or the local pilots in that area to confirm...

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    Where in the South Island are hoping to hunt? There's a pile of operators, so specific hunt location will dictate heli options and cost.

    Newbie from New Zealand

    Mark - I’m in the same boat re the 10pt thing (also a Newbie) so don’t know if I can send/receive PMs or not at this stage. Anyway, if PMs are an option for you, I can help with info. I lived in NZ for several years, have hunted free range sika and reds in a few places around your way, and get...

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    Per the peroxide being available at the local chemist in NZ, I’ve found that’s highly variable. Some places won’t sell it to the general public - I chased it all over the lower North Island in 2016 before settling on some absurdly expensive hair bleach that wasn’t as useful as the creme. Anyway...

    Fly fishing New Zealand

    Sorry, late to the party here as I’m a new member... Anyway, I lived there for several years in the 00’s - fished all over both islands, with a particular focus on the volcanic plateau in the NI. Fished a bit in the competition scene there too. I get back there every couple of years to fish and...
