    Best packable Tipi/tent for 4 people

    Looking for a 4 person tipi with stove setup. Not interested in Kifaru. So far the Redcliff seems to be the one i'm most interested in, what else should I look at? I want to have a stove and enough room for my family.

    Best hunting videos that don't pimp product?

    Nothing against people promoting their stuff, everybody has to eat. But is anyone making good hunting videos that are just about hunting? Preferably western big game but upland/waterfowl is good also. I don't mind the occasional youtube video but most of these guys are tying to make a living...

    Best Cold Weather Pants?

    I've got almost no experience hunting in colder weather. Sometimes we hunt ducks below 20 but that involves sitting and sometimes a heater. I've got an 11 day mule deer hunt in Nov where I expect to encounter 10-20 degree weather. Do I need a heavier pant? I have Kuiu attacks and long johns...

    WA state quality hunt draw--Chewuch

    Hey all, I drew a tag for the Chewuch late rifle Nov 1-20 in WA state. It's not the tag it used to be but still worth doing. If anyone has any info they would be willing to share it would be much appreciated. I've been there in the regular season but never in the migration and rut. Thanks!

    How to research outfitters

    I thought I’d ask my question a different way since the silence on my last thread tells me a lot! How would you recommend finding and researching outfitters who offer drop camps for mule deer? Besides word of mouth or a google search are there any other ways to discover people who offer this...

    plantar fasciitis, the last 10%

    For you guys who have rehabbed PF, when did you start exercising again? I've had it since last march, 90% of the pain is gone but just can't get to 100. Is this just the new reality? Wanted to start exercising again but worried it will just blow back up.

    Gloves when its wet

    Washington state hunter here...looking for a glove for those long damp rainy days. I have the KUIU Yukon pro and consider them to be overpriced garbage. The fit is clumsy, they are difficult to get on and off and your hands will be soaking wet after 15 minutes of light rain. What do you wear...

    Cordura or Canvas Duffles

    So I love everything about Kifaru and Filson Duffle bags except the price. Anyone have leads on similar bags at lower prices? No offense to both brands I'm sure its a superior product but I just can't spend that kind of cash on a duffle.

    So I just fried my waring pro grinder because a piece of bird shot went in. I try to be pretty careful but it's bound to happen with grinding ducks and geese. It happened pretty fast, just stuck and whined then quit turning. I guess it has plastic gears. this must be a common problem with...
