    Filling the freezer!

    Took my first deer with a bow in many years. Hope she will be the first of at least several more. Just got back into the compound game and being serious about it. It turned into a perfect stalk setup. Coming up the mountain really slow and methodical. Spotted a group of deer at about 45 yards...

    Western Mountaineering Opinions

    I just took shipment of the WM kodiak today. I've been eyeing them for a year now. I've fondled some of the higher rated bags at the local outfitters. I am very impressed the product out of the box. Do you guys find these bags as impressive as their billing?

    I picked up a Kimber 84M hunter pro in .308 in the gun library at Cabelas. It appeared to be new and unfired in the box. That particular version is on sale at Cabelas for 899$ right now.

    Washing Kifaru Frame

    Is it safe to soak the frame with the composite stays? The buildup includes wood. I soaked the whole frame a while back after a bear pack out. I have two deer pack outs now. I have it pretty well disassembled with the lumbar pad and hip belt in the tub now. That is with the padding in the lumbar...

    4 finger thumb release

    Looking to you guys for info on picking a new release. Do you see an advantage in the 3 or 4 finger thumb button over the wrist rocket. Am I understanding correctly that they are thumb activated? The one pictured is the one I was thinking about. Sent from my SM-J737V using Tapatalk

    Washing a pack

    I have a kifaru tactical duplex that I am running with a grab-it, guide lid and compression straps. I packed a bear this past weekend and afterward sprayed my pack frame with the hose and hung it to dry. It is good and dry now and still smells of bear blood. I am going to submerge it in a...

    My First Virginia Bear

    I've coexisted with a number of these guys in the deer woods over the years. When VA went to a pay to play bear tag a few years ago I went without a tag for a year or two. I bought a tag last year and didnt have any prime opportunities. As I was speed scouting some of my spots for deer...

    Dry fire! What now?

    I'll just own up to what I did. I was screwing around in the living room with my bow. Bare finger drawing and let it go somehow. It's a mathews halon 32. It derailed, the string came off and dinged the riser. Cams look okay to my untrained eye. Limbs look okay other than one little ding in a...

    CNOC Vecto 3L water bag

    Just got this in the mail for fathers day. It is a three liter dirty water storage bag that has a threaded bottom outlet that is compatible with sawyer filters. Looks like it will work good as a gravity feed. The wide mouth end is supposed to be easy to dip and fill with water. Has a slide that...

    WTS Bear Kodiak Magnum

    Looking to sell this bow. Not exactly sure of the vintage. You can look at the serial number and the badge on it and figure when it was made. Labeled 40# and seems to be a bit more than that at 28". Has a few scratches on it but nothing terrible. The glass is good with no signs of stress. Comes...

    Mathews Halon 32 6

    I'm feverishly awaiting delivery of a new to me Halon 32 6. I'm new to the modern compound game.

It is supposed to be set...
