    Why no love for Kuiu packs?

    I love mu Kuiu pack. I’ve had it for a few years. My 5500ci (icon pro suspension with ultra bag) only weighs 4lbs and carries elk and bears out very well. No hot spots and I don’t find myself adjusting all the time with a heavy load. I use the same pack for day hunts as well as 5 day trips. It...

    Who’s forgoing new bows for older ones?

    Actually it’s lighter than most new bows. That is a bow designed to be smooth and quiet. Nothing wrong with that.

    How close is too close?

    Watch some slo mo videos on YouTube. That will hit during recoil.

    Skull Identification

    Bobcat skulls are much shorter with smaller teeth, like a house cat.

    Claims of a 20 mile packout

    I packed a bull out 22 miles myself, once. Took about 8 rough hours. The year was 1998, back when I still rifle hunted. I pulled up to the trailhead and parked my Jeep blocking in a Subaru that was already there because that was my spot I had been hunting and scouting my whole life, so they...

    Washington state bans recreational fishing until April 8th

    I'm not allowed to fish 5 miles from anyone to get my dinner. But I am allowed to go to Costco with all the doorknob lickers. :rolleyes:

    Rain gear

    I was looking at these at bass pro and when I started to open the jacket all the stitching came apart. I put them back and will look elsewhere.

    Arrow hit concrete... Now what?

    Is $10 really worth risking this? Any doubt whatsoever, toss it.

    Youtube hunting/fishing Shows

    Born and raised outdoors. Been following them for years. Tons of amazing content. Focuses on archery elk but has lots of bear hunting, blacktail, steelhead fishing. Based out of western Oregon, they hunt Roosevelt elk and travel to other western states for rockies as well. Family friendly and...

    10 mm pistol ammunition

    I do it for practice. Just make sure to clean the chamber before going back to 10mm. Also as far as I know it only works in glocks due to the extractor design. I also use Underwood hardcast 220 through the stock barrel with no issues, I just make sure to clean it often.

    ANOTHER Elk arrow setup question (I'm sorry)

    Practice with what you have. All the time spent changing arrow setups and resighting in could be spent practicing yardage estimation, verifying pin gap and tune and getting in shape, which is much more important than worrying about adding 30 grains to your already, IMO, perfectly sized arrow...

    External Attachments for icon pro 3200

    I hunt with my 5500 for everything, even half day hunts 30 min from the house. It cinches down to almost nothing and hardly wieghs anything. I would just use the 6000.

    10 mm pistol ammunition

    Underwood 220g hardcast @ 1250. Doubletap 200g hardcast @ 1300. Grizzly 200g hardcast @1250. I avoid buffalo bore because it’s $15 more for a box of 20 and the 3 I mentioned are the same or better. I use a 22lb recoil spring and have reliability with all three as well at cheap target stuff and...

    Ultimate Song/s You Listen to Prior to Huntin

    A country boy can survive. On the way home from a successful elk hunt 80s Metallica seems to be playing.

    Maximum Mechanical Accuracy v. Acceptable Practical Accuracy

    Don’t be discouraged by internet claims of accuracy. If you want to feel really good about your shooting, go to local 3d shoots where the real shooting is on display, not a picture of that persons best group ever. Like what was said above, the best shooters in the world are trying to keep all...

    Bear Encounters

    Been around LOTS of black bears, they’re very thick here in Washington. Every one has ran or walked off after they knew I was there, even the sows with cubs. I still don’t let my guard down or underestimate them, I don’t want to make that mistake. Last year elk hunting I was resting in a spot...

    Second bow - go high end or mid range?

    Bows haven’t changed much since 2010-2015. The majority of them have actually gotten heavier. For example, in my opinion Hoyt’s 2012-2015 bows are better than thier 2016-2020 bows. If you know your specs (draw weight, length, etc) I would buy a used high end flagship from around 2015. All of as...
