has been a long time since I've been on RokSlide. the other day I got involved in a chat on Bowsite and decided to take it hear also for those it might benefit.
I have had a 6 person Kifaru tipi for at least 10 years now. When I first got it I contacted Kifaru with the liner dimensions...
after using a pump filter for years I switched this year to a Sawyer gravity feed. granted, most of my sheep/caribou hunts are of a base camp style but the ease of hanging a bag of water in a tree is so much nicer than kneeling at a creek and pumping. the biggest plus is that the filter, dirty...
everyone always forgets to include KOWA. when I bought a scope I had a Zeiss, Swarvo, Leica, and Kowa side by side. my eye could not see that much of a difference between them. I went with the KOWA because it was lighter and shorter, not because it was a grand less than the others...
if you want to start them on something other than 'wheels', check out BlackRhino bows. they make great youth longbows that they will take back in trade as they grow and need a heavier bow...
it was a hunt that did not go as planned. totally my fault for getting in a rush and trying to make things happen. won't make that mistake again. it was an adventure and I made a new friend. thanks for making it possible Matt....[/URL][/IMG]

I have been applying for this permit for 14 years. it is usually split into 3 hunts. Oct 1-12, bull. Oct 11-22, bull. Oct 23-Nov 23, cow. this year there were 8 bull permits in each of the bull hunts and 20 cow permits in the cow hunt. the brown bear used to be a registration hunt but is...
I'm glad that Matt is going along on this trip and happy that he is willing to try to call for me. I would like to use my recurve the first few days of the hunt and if I could set up 100 yards in front of his calling position it would really improve the chances. We have 7 days of hunting, we...
