I've been using the buck 141 paklite trophy kit made from s30v for two seasons. Great knives at a great price point. I have XL hands and they provide great purchase for me. I think they are definitely worth a look.
Big fan of MR marshall on GL frame. I have the pintler as a bag only. They both work great for me, especially as a "team". One big bag to get you in there and the smaller bag for day hunting.
Still a new member I'm not allowed to send Pm'S. I've been hunting in Montana a few times myself, never with the little man. I'm looking in the long John mountains. Seems to be a fair bit of logging road access. Do you think that's a good area to take a youngster? I think it's super important...
Good morning fellas, I'm headed to Montana for my first spring bear hunt the last week in may. Bringing my 12 year old on his first out of state hunt. Any unit suggestions for hunting with the little guy? Thanks
