I’m looking to seek my Lowa Renegade’s GTX 11.5 W. There used for 5 days on a Colorado elk hunt last year. Still in GREAT condition. Normally $230 brand new, looking for $180, or OBO. PM me.
I use subalpine for archery elk in Colorado. It works great. Also, Kuiu Verde is an awesome choice for early season hunts. Just depends on your budget and availability of product. I have the Kuiu verde pack and am considering alternating Sitka and Kuiu camo.
Hopefully the drought is all we have to deal with. If there are fires too, it’s going to be like last year, silent! Look for water or areas with good feed.
I just purchased the Kuiu 2300 and love it! I had a pack from RMEF that I bought from Scheels last year and it was too bulky and heavy. I’m happy with the Kuiu pack. Super comfortable and light weight. Of course you’ll probably want a bigger size if you are backpack hunting.
