    Yeah, we realized the snow factor. We have warmer clothing for if it does happen. It’s not the greatest, but it will work fine for us

    Fat boy clothing

    I’m going on my first elk hunt in September. I’m down 40 pounds so far, and plan to continue to lose weight. I’m looking for hunting clothes for the big man, I wear a 2x in regular clothing on top and wear a 42x32 pant size. I have huge thighs (genetics) so I’m trying to avoid “athletic” build...

    First ever western hunt- help (idaho)

    Thanks for the help everybody, we decided to roll the mule deer trip back and start entering the draw, and 2021 will be otc archery elk or mulies, most likely in Colorado. I assume the gear will be similar just with less need for extreme cold weather clothes. Either way, thank you for all the...

    Any one have experience with this Hammock Sleeping bag system

    i've done some hammock camping in the winter, and what I've noticed is an underquilt and overquilt seem to be way warmer than what you posted. I was car camping and not hunting during this so i'm not sure if the weight of an underquilt and overquilt are worth it while backpacking.

    Sleep systems

    If your backpacking, I like an insulated and inflatable sleeping pad, with a mummy bag rated 15-20 degrees colder than you expect it to get. You can always shed layers or unzip, but getting cold while backpacking is terrible. Also, the smaller the tent, the easier it is to get condensation, so...

    First ever western hunt- help (idaho)

    Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't even think of checking that. Of the units that are still available, they have generally low harvest rates or a lot of private land and according to GoHunt are pretty slow. do you think that an OTC archery option for deer or elk somewhere else would...

    First ever western hunt- help (idaho)

    Hi, this is my first post on here. My buddy and I decided that we want to go on our first western style hunt, and were going to target Mule deer. We are doing OTC rifle, so we are thinking that Unit 28 is the best bet for us to be successful and not be around too many hunters. I've done some...
