    Best Mapping Service in 2023?

    Hey guys - I've been using Gaia for about 7 years now. My 5 year subscription is about to be up, so I need to look into what to do going forward. Back when I made this decision, it was pretty much just Gaia or OnX, and it seemed like more people around here liked Gaia. I do hunt/use mapping...

    Leica CRF .COM Rangefinders - Best for the money?

    I know these are 2-3 years old now, but is there anything better for the money? I cant see much in my research. I think ballistics via a Kestrel or an app is the future, so I want something with that feature. Please let me know if I should consider something else, or sway me otherwise. I...

    Binos in 2021 - Where we at?

    Hey guys - 2 part question. I'm in need of some new binos. 1. ) I havent researched binos in 5-6 years since I bought my last set. At that time most western hunters were running 10x42 (or 10x50) main sets with a spotter, and some guys were starting to transition to carrying 15x56's as well...

    Tree Stand Etiquette on Public Land

    Hey guys. Whats the etiquette for tree stands on public land out West? Climbers only? Can you put up semi-permanent stands with ladders? If I put up a stand, will others respect it, or is it fair game if I'm not in it? I know there's other scenarios I haven't thought of, so please lay it...

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    Hey guys, I still can't decide what route to go and I'd love to hear some other opinions, especially from anyone that has tried both. I have a couple hunts this winter where average lows in the areas are 10-15 degrees. I sleep cold. I just stepped up to an Xtherm from my XLite, and that should...

    AZ resident looking to expand my hunting area

    Hey guys, looking to expand my possible hunting areas for the OTC archery hunt. I will be scouting 7E, 8 and 10 to help some buddies on their Elk hunts this year. I'd love to hone in on some areas around Sedona/Flagstaff (even if they arent in those units) to hunt for the Aug 25 - Sept 14th...

    Stone Glacier Sky Talus 6900 Mini Review

    Just wanted to give a mini review... not that others here haven't done better (such as Justin), but we are all gear heads and I am sure other people are as pedantic as me and hopefully my opinions can help someone else. What was most important to me and what hit me first when I got the bag was...

    Bag for Cold Sleepers

    If I'm a cold sleeper, should I be looking at bags rated for the negatives for nights between 0 and 10 degrees? I was playing with the idea of getting a WM Puma. I don't want to be hot and sweat all night, but as I said I sleep cold. My 17 degree bag really only gets me to around 30... I...

    Additional outwear peice for archery - Suggestions Please

    Hey guys, I am looking for something quiet to wear over my other layers. My insulation and rain layers are covered, with Arcteryx Cerium LT and Arcteryx Theta AR. I love both of these jackets, but neither is an effective outlayer for bowhunting... neither are camo, the Cerium is too prone to...

    Scope selection... I have to ask.

    Why do Vortex Vipers have a great reputation on the tactical and long range side? Do these guys research glass at all? Its fairly agreed upon in the birding / bino / spotting scope world that Vortex Vipers and below have mediocre glass and are marketed very well, hence their popularity. It...

    Reticle for hunting rifle?

    I did some reading around here, lots of opinions on scopes. A surprisingly large contingency that loves fixed power... also a lot of Leupold recommendations. I am leaning towards a 3-15 or 4-16. Its what I will be comfortable with. What reticle do you guys use? I have only used regular...

    Building vs Buying

    Hey guys... I wanted some opinions on building vs buying. Its really easy to get into gun that the manufacturer claims is MOA guaranteed. A Savage, Tikka, Remington, Browning, etc is going to cost me 600-1000 I'd say, depending on the model. From what I've read, MOA is realistic as well, they...

    Kifaru vs Stone Glacier - Specifically fit and frame comparison

    I am comparing these two packs. It seems that when it comes down to it, both are considered the top tier for comfort and heavy load hauling ability. It is hard to differentiate between the two when it comes to reviews. Are there any main differences between the frame design or inherent...

    Acute Lower Back Pain and Backpacks

    Hey guys. I have a pack, one of the 6 brands or so that is debated here. I have gone on 3 trips with it now, and also done training with weight, etc. So far, so good. I have the pack so it feels good, nothing slides, load lifters are at a great angle, I think it fits me well. My last trip I...
