    Pack for someone with a bad back?

    Have an L5, S1 fusion and Laminectomy/otomy with titanium plate and screws at the same level. No other pack made feels better for my back than Kifaru (especially with heavy weight). I believe this is due to their hip belt. I have a hoodlum and also a Stryker with Sherman Pocket, and switch...

    Meindl Boots questions???

    I already have Meindl Boots that I bought from Cabelas quite some time ago. I am looking at getting another pair. Trying to decide between the Vakuum Hunter (Closest to exactly what I already have) or the Air Revolution 4.1 Hiker. I really like the current boots, but also think it would be nice...

    Oregon Tioga Green Dot Road Questions???

    Thank you everyone for the replies. I feel like I am not alone in thinking that it should be about the hunt and ethics. Breaking the law seems like a huge ethics violation to me. And I agree that I would like to put in the extra work to get to the animals. Feels more rewarding to attain...

    Oregon Tioga Green Dot Road Questions???

    Not sure on this one, but the map I have from ODFW does not specify that any dates are excluded. Made me believe they were Green Dot restricted all year.

    Oregon Tioga Green Dot Road Questions???

    Well, I was supposed to be hunting in the Snake River Unit again (1st trip was in 1997 and been hunting there consistently for over 10 years), but Fire said otherwise. So, the ODFW allowed us to exchange tags for General Tags. I have questions about the Green Dot Road system. I read the map I...

    Broadheads and Success!!

    540 grain arrow (Total) with a Kudu Contour 125 grain point. Killed my spike bull. Bull only ran @ 40 yards on a 40 yard severely quartering away shot. Arrow went in just in front of the back ham and came out at the front shoulder. Not a ton of blood, because the arrow was plugging both holes...

    What’s New for Kifaru?

    I wish you could get that shelf/panel from the Strykers and now the Straight Jacket sewn onto a 2nd gen 22 mag! Anyone else like this idea?

    2022 Oregon Archery Elk Proposal

    I don't hunt this unit, so I can't speculate. I can tell you I trust my own eyes more than I trust any ODFW numbers by someone that probably spends less time in the unit I hunt than I do! In fact I trust their numbers about like I trust the Covid numbers the CDC throws out. Unless they...

    2022 Oregon Archery Elk Proposal

    This is only true if you believe that hunters are affecting the numbers. They are not! Predators Are! It seems they are only using this strategy on the East side of the state, where most populations are at or very near objective as well. Do they not care about Elk populations in the Cascades at...

    2022 Oregon Archery Elk Proposal

    Just my opinion but I think the whole ODFW proposal is a joke, and more about revenue than hunting opportunities! Not sure the ODFW cares about game much anymore?.?. My proposal would be as follows: 1. For those that have been applying for years to one day draw their opportunity of a lifetime...

    Stryker vs. Stryker Xl for day hunting Elk

    How well does the camp bag ride in between the frame and bag? In pictures I have seen, it looks like it makes the Stryker ride really low if it has much in it. Thank you everyone for the input! It is much appreciated! Keep the comments coming.

    Stryker vs. Stryker Xl for day hunting Elk

    I am curious if any have seen this XL pack in person. I am an Archery Elk Hunter in Oregon. I Hunt the Snake River unit and am looking for a Day Pack bag to go with my Kifaru Frame. I don't carry a ton. My food and a 3 liter water bladder. Kill kit and game bags. Minimal survival gear and first...

    .270 Round Combo?

    Unsure of the twist rate of your rifle, but pick a grain bullet that will stabilize if shooting any distance. That said, for Elk I would suggest the heaviest grain bullet that will stabilize and group well in a bullet that will stay together like a partition.
