    Ultraview UV3 vs UV3XL

    I've been doing a lot of searching for opinions related to this topic as well as contacting Ultraview and some of their largest dealers directly. The search hasn't yielded many results as I have not come across a forum post, article or youtube review on it and the answers I have received from...

    What’s your go to Sitka product?

    I primarily hunt whitetails in northern Michigan. For that I have scent lok early season and very bulky Cabelas late season jacket and bibs.

    Outer layers for September Elk hunt

    First time elk hunter headed out to Colorado for the last two weeks of September this year. I’ve waited until the last 2-3 months before we leave to dump a ton of money into gear that I should have been accumulating for the past year+ so getting down to what might be more of a necessity vs. what...

    Garmin inreach mini vs inreach explorer

    Looking to get one of these two for an early season elk hunt in Colorado this September. Most reviews I’ve looked into suggest to get the explorer for the added features with the biggest one being the screen of course. I do see this as a benefit but most of us use OnX on our phones so would the...
