    WTS/WTT Kuiu Superdown Ultra Pants- XXL- $125

    Great glassing pants, but I've lost weight and these are way too big for me. Asking $125, but would also be interested in a trade for a puffy vest or jacket, size L, in a solid color.

    Kuiu Super Down Ultra vs FL UnclePadre Pants

    Opinions on which is better? Warmer? They will be an outer layer for glassing out west, and an insulating layer under my FL Sanctuary bibs for treestand hunts. Not planning on moving around in either pair. Kuiu is lighter, and in stock, and more expensive FL- the rest of my kit is FL, they're...

    2nd Boots

    I'm rifle hunting in Idaho in the Sawtooth zone in October next year, and its a drop camp hunt. I have a pair of Crispi Nevada's that are awesome, but I'm feeling like I should bring a backup pair (especially since weight isn't a concern). If you were me, would you bring something like a muck...

    1st Time Elk Hunter- Calling during Idaho Rifle Season

    Me and a group of buddies are headed out rifle hunting in October of 2020. We're doing a dropcamp in the Sawtooths, and are curious about calling. I'm already competent using diaphragm calls in the turkey woods. Is it worth learning to call for a rifle hunt? Diaphragm and/or external reed...

    I'm looking for an upland vest with enough room for the basics, a large water bottle, and a pouch I can load several pheasants in without taking the vest off. Any recommendations?

    Frog Gigging

    Anyone do this? I love eating frog legs, and want to try. I have a canoe, kayak, lights etc but I don't know where to start. What type of habitat should I look for? Rivers, creeks, farm ponds, lakes? Any tips are appreciated!

    Leasing Land

    I've been able to find farms to hunt for free in Iowa for all my life. In the last 12 months I've lost rights on my two main farms (one owner passed away, the other is letting relatives hunt instead). I'm frustrated and considering paying to lease some ground, but am curious if anyone has any...

    Cheapest Spotter That's Worth Carrying

    I have a set of good 10x42 binos (Vortex Viper HD) that I plan to run on tripod for an Idaho Elk/Mule Deer hunt, and am going back and forth on a spotter. We are getting packed in on horses, but its DIY from there. I know a lot of time will be spent glassing, and that a spotter could make that...
