I have now done 2 whitetails and 2 elk with the stonewall skinner. Very impressed with the performance. I haven't figured out the blade angle for resharpening perfectly yet, but the ergonomics, strength and blade shape make this knife awesome for skinning elk in the field. It is also a long...
Celcius midi is a great layer. It's a whitetail version of a puffy that's not down but synthetic. Not bulky at all. I haven't tried the ambient yet, but hear it's good too.
Sitka stratus with layering underneath is about as versatile as it gets for whitetail. It can take you from the mid-50s down to the low 20s with the right layers. The Windstopper is as good as it gets for treestand hunting. With that said, I can't say it'll be very good for anything other than...
If you hunt where it gets cold and there is wind, you cannot go wrong with Sitka. The Windstopper membrane is a lifesaver in the cold windy rut hunts of the midwest. Even if you have to buy a little bigger to layer underneath, it's the best stuff out there for treestand hunting the rut in the...
I have them on my RAM 1500 right now. I have about 35k miles with a ton of tread left. I also had them off-road in WY for a mule deer hunt after 2 days of rain in the high desert, and they performed way better than expected. Never got stuck and kept trucking along. As long as they make these...
I'll say the softopper is a great top. It has done everything I've wanted, including camping in the back and staying dry. The only downside I could see is security vs. the fiberglass options.
Either of the Axis options would be good. I'm building the 4mm LR match grade now with ethics. Hoping it'll be a solid setup. Personally, when I shoot an animal, I don't expect to get my arrow back. If I do, great but there is so much that can happen. As long as I get the penetration I need and...
PSE is the only OE that hasn't released their aluminum 2022 line yet. My guess is they will have the dovetail for QAD and the 2 holes for the COR set-up.
