    Talk me out of, or into a canoe

    Have had both canoes and kayaks. Been dumped out of both. Enjoyed them both. Still have kayaks. Sold last canoe during Covid at twice what I paid for it. Sounds like you need that canoe, living so close to water.

    Maven RS.5 - low light performance?

    I've only used an RS.5 for a year and have had no issues with it. It isn't as good as the Swarovskis that I have at dark thirty but for the price I think that it's a great option. I like the cross hair as it isn't as busy as many are today. I would/will buy another.

    Boots for whitetails and elk?

    Last year I hunted Vermont, New York, Alabama and Idaho. For me the answer is Meindl.

    MEAT your maker products

    I have had the #22 - 1HP grinder, with the foot pedal for several years and I really like it. I only do 5 or 6 deer a year, but it makes the work go super easy and fast.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Over my years guiding elk hunters, I was much happier to see a hunter come in to camp with their beat-up old .270 or .30-06 then I was seeing them come in to camp with their shiny, new magnum. Before our hunters rode into the backcountry, we took them to the range. We had a big hunter, (6'2" -...

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    Granted, I have a few miles on me and my pack frame, but after packing out the cow that I shot last fall, just a mile and a half, my buddy looked at me when we got to the truck with our second loads and said, "you know that you could have shot a calf!" I think that in the past 10 years, together...

    What to do with a pre war Model 70 Winchester

    I can feel the stress and pressure that old gun is putting you through. Therefore, I will be "kind" and gladly store it in my gun safe so you don't have to fret over what to do! I guarantee that I will not modify it BUT I will also guarantee that I will shoot it for you, but not with the old ammo.

    What am I doing wrong?

    As a nonresident that has been hunting in Idaho almost every year since the 90's. I usually hunt in the SE corner and central part of the state. The SE took a pretty hard hit with a tough winter in '16 and again last year. Deer numbers, from my perspective, are down. Elk seem to be down in...

    How did you pick your pack?

    Shot an elk way to far back in and a buddy told me to leave mine in the truck and use one of his. Bought my own Outdoorsman's when I got back to town.
