    Between the Tactical stays and lite stays? And which one fits my old duplex hunter frame?

    Anyone Swap New S.O. Packs to Kifaru Frame

    Cause those Seek Outside specs are sexy... dang! I know the consensus in old threads is it isn't exactly an elegant match between the two. Has anyone figured out how to make it work better? Pictures are always helpful.

    Boots with tall footbox?

    I need some boot recs. I have used Zamberlan's and Kenetreks for the last 6-7 years. I don't have particularly wide feet, but I always run into issues with how tall my feet are. If zamberlan's had an extra 1/8th of height in the foot box, I'd never wear another boot I don't think, but if wishes...

    Floorless + 60-70 mph winds?

    I see guys talk about their shaped tarps holding up to 30-40 mph on occasion, but who has experience with floorless shelters in 60-70mph winds? I have a hunt in mind, and was considering a Silex or the new SO Guardian. But I know from firsthand experience the winter comes early, and a 30mph wind...

    When Trad is tough

    Nothing like whining to your internet friends when things get tough, right? By my count I've hunted 100+ different days (mostly Texas public lands) with a recurve since the last time I killed something bigger than a squirrel. I thought for sure I had it in the bag in CO this September when I...

    Musing on Pre Season Meltdowns

    I've always had some level of target panic. Joel Turner and Tom Clum's training has helped me manage it into remission. But every year, right before the season I have a meltdown of some sort. I've grown accustomed to it, and know how to handle it now (Joel Turner's stuff is pure gold). But I...

    My Gear List - CO Archery

    September needs to hurry up and arrive. I'm going crazy. Anyways, I was putting together a spreadsheet of what will be coming with me in CO in September and figured I'd put it here for critique/help for anyone who wants a jumping off point of their own. I don't have the food sorted yet, but this...

    WTS Medium Long Kryptek Takur Pants, NWT

    Need to do a catch and release here: Ordered a set of Kryptek Takur rain pants(assuming they're last year's model) from the discount section on their website. They came in the mail today and they're too tight in the quads for me. As they're discount items, there's no returns or exchanges, so...

    Kryptek Takur Pant Sizing

    I just wanted to throw some info out there so y'all can learn from my experience. I ordered some Takur rain pants from the clearance section on Krypteks website. I'm a 33" waist, with a 34" inseam, and have been for ages. But my quads and thighs are big, and I usually need a 34x34 wrangler to...

    Kuiu Chugach Going Away? I've been corrected!

    Apparently I waited too long to order a set of rainpants to go with my jacket... Chugach line is in the outlet, already out of camo options, and size large, and a call to their sales department yielded a bunch of hemming and hawing when I asked if they're discontinuing it. But they eventually...

    Heads Up Decoy for High Country Mule Deer

    Anyone used a bow mounted decoy for high country mule deer? Seems like it could buy yourself an extra two or three seconds to settle in and shoot when a big velvet buck stands up from his bed. But... I don't have any experience with it, and I don't hear much about the idea. Who's done it? Good...
