    Dedicated Big Woods Whitetail Setup

    I spent some time this fall thinking about a specific type of hunt I do, and what rifle setup would be ideal for it. I'm going to lay out what I've come up with and also some questions that remain for those who have more experience than I. It's the off season, and we need productive things to...

    Tell me about tire chains-4th gen 4runner

    I'm headed to CO for 3rd season this year. I'm going to be taking my 04 Sport 4runner (full time 4x4). I'd like to have a set of chains with me just in case. Tires are 265/70/17 A/T. In looking online I'm getting mixed thoughts. Some guys say only on the rear, and some are putting them on all...

    New (used) hunting rig

    This showed up at a local lot. 04 4runner Sport, V8. 233k. Drives straight, everything seems to work. I bought it this morning. I think I'll get the timing belt done in the next few months, as a preventative measure. Other than that, it seems to be fine for a hunting, camping, errand running...

    Fire on bolt closing

    Had a rather unpleasant experience tonight. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor that has sort of been upgraded 1 piece at a time. I really, really like the rifle. Currently the only original parts are the action and trigger. It started as my 1st rifle 22 years ago, and I have a lot of good memories with...

    Locking unit info request threads

    I'd just like to thank the mods for taking a proactive stance and locking the "not looking for honey holes" threads this spring. This public land hunter appreciates it!

    Hunt Backcountry MM162-Chris Way

    Many of you are probably ahead of me, but I just listened to this podcast this morning. It's a really interesting discussion with Chris Way. I really like a lot of what Chris is doing. It's common sense stuff, but it seems very few hunters are thinking about shooting like he does. If...

    Simplicity

    What value do you put on simplicity in your hunting? I get that gadgets are cool, and this is a gear website, so maybe it's the wrong place for this. But I have worked to simplify numerous aspects of my hunting in the last few years. I feel that complicating ones gear or processes results in...

    WTS Kifaru- MC Highcamp 4800, WG lid, pocket

    Some misc. Kifaru stuff for sale. I'm selling because I switched to Seek Outside. - Multicam Highcamp 4800. This piece is in good shape, I bought it on here used and have used it for a couple years. I don't think anything has been cut. You will need a few buckles to attach to your frame...

    Going from Kifaru to Seek Outside

    I'm going to try to keep this as brief as possible, lol. I've used a Kifaru frame for about 7 years now. Currently have a DT1 and Highcamp 4800 bags. I also have a Mystery Ranch Scapegoat 25 for day use when I'm not packing meat. My Kifaru has been solid, and feels great under a big load...

    Logistical Tips and Techniques for Air Travel to Hunting Destinations

    Having flown to and from elk hunting twice, and having learned a lot from various threads on here and elsewhere, I wonder if we could have a centralized thread for this topic. I know there are a bunch of you on here that have lots more experience than I at this. I don't intend for this to be...

    Cold weather sleeping pad

    I have quite a stash of credit card rewards that are available, and I've been trying to decide where to best use them. One hole in my gear is a cold weather sleeping pad. I've been looking really hard at an Exped Ultra 5R. I'm curious about opinions on these. Also, how quickly will the...

    John Barklow/Knowledge from Storms

    I haven't see this discussed on here yet, but John Barklow has his own website now called Knowledge from Storms. He has some videos about layering, shelters, stoves, etc. He also has a pretty good monthly newsletter. I consider John a trusted authority on backcountry survival and recreation, and...

    Sold Nikon Monarch 3 10x42

    Selling a pair of Nikon Monarch 3 10x42. I've used these for probably 5 years, so they aren't perfect, but are absolutely functional. See pics for condition. One eyecup could use a little glue as its a bit loose, I'll let the buyer do that if they wish. These are obviously not alpha glass, but...

    Shortening a Badger dbm lever

    I have a Badger M7 bottom metal on my 6.5. It has the standard lever hanging down under the trigger guard. Has anyone here shortened one? How short can you go without it being an issue? Pics? I really like the system, just wish that lever didn't stick out so far. Just not sure how short to go...

    Elk shank chili

    I think I've posted about this before, but we had some of this last weekend, and I thought I'd mention it here. I took one elk shank, cut it into 3 pieces with a hacksaw, browned the pieces, and then braised it overnight in a crock pot. I put a bunch of chili type of stuff in my braising...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Seeing that the 223 thread is such a success, I thought maybe I would start one for the Creedmoor/260. Seems like people are asking a lot about using them and various bullets, especially for elk. I've used mine for the last few years almost exclusively. I have some pics of bullet damage, albeit...

    Best ROI on upgrades for November elk hunting

    A good friend and I have been working on figuring out November elk hunting over the last few years. I'm just back now from hunting 3rd season and, of course, I've been reviewing the lessons learned. We had a good hunt, and both killed decent bulls, and of course now I'm kind of wishing I was...
