    Best kryptek for western orego

    In terms of how the elk see, it won't make a ton of difference. Mandrake seems to have a bit more contrast to my eye.

    Idaho Moose

    I'd be the wrong guy to ask. A once in a lifetime tag means everything's a shooter to me, just depends on the day.

    Benchmade Hunt Knives

    I have the Dymondwood. WyoElk nailed everything I was going to say. Mine was a gift from my father before our hunt this year. I'm sure that it will last me for all the rest of my hunts and be able to be passed on. It's truly a fine knife.

    Benchmade Hunt Knives

    I have the Saddle Mountain Skinner. Very very happy with it. I wish I could get a left handed sheath from them for it.

    I'm looking at a benchmade knife

    I have the saddle mountain skinner. My father bought it for me as a gift before our hunt this year and it has been fantastic at it's job. Sharp, holds an edge, and profiled just right to make skinning/boning out easy work.

    Hunting/Skinning knife appreciation thread

    My father bought me one of the new Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner knives as a gift before our hunt this year. I'll cherish it forever because he gave it to me. I'll use it forever because of how well it has performed. I'm over the moon with this knife.

    QAD Exodus Broadhead

    I bought a pack earlier this year but haven't gotten them bloody yet. They fly incredibly well and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about them.

    What are your favorite "meal replacement bars"?

    ProBars. Hard to beat in the cals/ounce dept.

    Is untreated down okay to use?

    I've been using untreated down in alpine and sub-alpine environments for 15 years. Several of those years was full-time use. Knowing how to store your stuff, drying it out in the mid-day sun, and general down care is necessary whether you are using treated or untreated down. If you get treated...

    EE Quilt or Kifaru Doobie?????

    I have a woobie, but not as a sleep system focused item. I was sitting here researching quilts as your post came up. I would go EE quilt all the way in your situation. You'll get more warmth for the same weight with an EE quilt vs a doobie.

    I'm jealous! All I wanted was a cow this season, and I haven't been able to get on any.

    Gore Tex boots are ALL a joke.....c'mon

    x2. I'm on my second pair of these boots. This archery season has been really wet and I've spent multiple morning and evening hunts walking in dew or drippy conditions. Even in a heavy downpour the gore-tex in these boots has kept my feet as dry as can be expected.

    MBG Slider Sight Tape

    If you want to figure out your vane contact, just throw an arrow in backwards with the point through your d-loop and your rest up in position. Then just roll the sight down to where it makes contact and note the yardage on the tape. It works pretty well.

    MBG Slider Sight Tape

    All the way up. I can't why someone would do it differently.

    Thoughts?

    In my opinion you're over thinking it. I've got two dozen different axis 340 shafts that are from at least 5 different lots and I cannot tell the difference in how they shoot. 3 weeks ago, I shot a 3" group (with 1 flyer) @ 101 yds. There were 3 different batches of arrows in that group.

    New Bino Harness on the Market

    The mesh on the back of the FHF appears to be the same and it doesn't cause any discomfort. It's actually quite comfortable and seems to keep sweat from building up there.

    WM alpinelite vs. Marmott Helium

    I've owned 3 or 4 Marmot bags and they have always seemed to over state their temperature rating in my opinion. I think WM is a better bag all the way around.

    Vias or Verde?

    Makes no difference. Both patterns are pretty good at breaking up your outline and if you think of it in black and white the colors of either pattern don't matter.

    What did you forget.

    Last week I forgot my harness with my rangefinder, and binoculars. Consequently, I blew two shots on the biggest buck I've seen in 2014. I'm still pissed at myself.
