I lost weight and these are now too big for me. I was a XL at the time, but sized up in these so they would fit over cold weather gear (something to think about).These are the heavier weight pieces from Cabela's. I purchased them a few years ago and have worn them many times while fishing in the...
I lost a bunch of weight and these are now too big for me. I take care of my stuff and these are both in good condition.

Firstlite Allegheny bottoms. Mid weight. No holes...
Good luck to you as well. I'm focusing on antelope and elk this year, but next year I'll be up in the `tooths and hope you're able to give me some pointers on how you killed your ram ;-)
I would definetly check it out. Be up there AT LEAST an hour before first light. You will be able to see other hunters lights as they come in on the trail and watch how the animals respond once you can see well enough.

Two years ago I was about 90 pounds heavier then I am now. I still hunted and had fun, but now I can go further, longer, and with less pain.
I hate the answers you get from the "how much does your pack weight" questions. Everyone includes/excludes items that others don't. I feel the only true way to figure weight is from skin out. Your body does not care if your pockets are full, what's in your bino pouch, if you count the weight of...
Like high_rise said, weigh everything and put it in lighterpack.com.
After that, make a list of what you want to replace and with what specific item and how much weight that will save you.
After you have your dream list of new items, figure out your cost per ounce of weight saved, then replace...
I've had the same experiences as everyone else.
I think it might be part smell, but also because we place them right at eye level for the animals, and they notice something is wrong.
Imagine you walking down your hallway everyday, everything thing in it's place, just as it always is. And then...
