    Creek Crossing Shoes

    This may apply to more than spring bear, but this is where I typically encounter the issue. With creeks running higher than usual this year due to heavy snowmelt, I found myself misjudging a crossing or two and having water over my gaiters ( not waterproof but generally ok if I am quick enough)...

    Kuiu Northstar Glomit vs Super Down Pro Glassing Mit

    Looking for any info on differences between the two glomits. It looks like the Northstars are a little heavier and possibly more waterproof? Are the Super Pro warmer? How is the Kuiu sizing on glomits if wearing a thin merino liner? Any info is much appreciated.

    Eldorado National Forest Closure

    Permethrin Treatment on Boots

    Do any of you treat your boots with permethrin? Any effect on materials or waterproofing? I have always treated my boots prior to spring bear, but my boots didn’t cost a small fortune until now. Any input would be appreciate.

    Bought these from Black Ovis last week. To stiff for my liking but clearly a high quality boot. I wore them approximately 6 miles with aftermarket insoles. I have replaced the aftermarket insoles with the original Crispi insoles. Unfortunately I threw away the box or I would ask to return...

    Last Bear Hunt of the Year

    Heading north to look for bear tomorrow. Any Redding area folks have any good public land spots that are accessible this time of year. I know there are several areas closed due to recent fires. Coming from Modesto, I am willing to drive up near Shasta but would hate to waste the hours driving...

    cA Black Bear Hibernation

    My understanding is that many ca black bear do not hibernate all winter but hibernate sporadically. Does anybody know how to tell when the period of hibernation begins in the d5-d6 areas? Do storms drive the bears into rest or is it food sources drying up? After hunting higher elevations last...
