    Wool hunting clothing

    I guess I’ve gone down both roads. Kuiu, for my western ventures as well as spring/early fall here in MN. By the time deer season and ice fishing seasons come around the wool starts making sense. It’s heavy, and wind can penetrate, that permeability though keeps the sweat moving out away from...

    Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!

    New half ton truck, what is your thoughts??

    Saved me a bunch of typing. Ive owned both Coyote and Ecoboost. Both are powerful, ecoboost gives a bigblock vibe. Coyote has a hotrod vibe, and I think an edge in reliability.

    First truck and current truck.

    First, hmm, ‘73 (?) International Scout II. It was as rank as you would expect, fuel fill pipe rusted off at the cap for example. Neither it nor I cared about how it was treated, man that’s liberating in a hunting rig. 36 years of other sport utes followed, had company trucks at my disposal and...

    The January Topic: KUIU vs Sitka!

    I could be a Kuiu slut I guess. The thing is I have the sizing figured out, as well as how they are meant to work together. Customer support has been very helpful. More than once I’ve been reimbursed for items that have gone on sale shortly after buying at full price.

    10+ Years of Use, What Worked

    Surefire 6P flashlight w/ LED upgrade. Polar tec power pro (waffles) base layers. Platypus gravity water filter system has been good in a multi hunter camp.

    BS hunting pants sizes

    Married a girl with sewing skills. Sure it’s $2500 a year in fabrics, but if I need something mended, I’ve got access to her machines.

    Help getting boots to dry

    Sounds like sole and liners are laminated together and moisture has gotten between them. The desiccant bags are a good bet. Put them out in the sun for a few days to warm up too. Id get them dried out, and send them down the road. Mold, mildew, foot funk, all growing down there? Add sweat, and...

    Swift A frame vs Nosler Partition

    Word. Took my most likely only Elk hunt 16 years ago. Have gone back 12 more times. You need to find a core of 3-4 guys that are ate up with it. Fall in with them, with any luck they are the arm twisting sort. If they are tight with a buck even better!

    300 Win Mag ammo for elk.

    I’ve had good results with both Accubond and Partitions in 180g from my Tikka. It’ll throw 200g Partitions just as well. If you like collecting bullets go Accubond if you gotta have complete penetration Partitions are more likely to pass through. Try the loads that are common on local shelves...

    7MM-08 for youth

    I picked up a Ruger Hawkeye Compact for The Junior. He’s danged small and might never outgrow it 😉. 16” stainless barrel laminate stock that adds weight. I’ve put together some 120 NPT loads with a modest amount of Staball. Have loads from 2450 to 2750 ish. Being Shrek sized I’m having a heck of...

    Does anyone carry tools to clear a barrel obstruction (mud, etc)?

    Great idea, I tend to have plugs with me everywhere.

    Does anyone carry tools to clear a barrel obstruction (mud, etc)?

    Kahtoola Micro spikes for the win! Most comfortable supportive boots I own are lousy on wet and snow. The Kahtoola micro spikes make a D-7 Caterpillar out of me.

    Does anyone carry tools to clear a barrel obstruction (mud, etc)?

    I put a length of weedeater line in my pack. Heat up about 3/8” of one end and mash it flat to about your bullet size. The theory being you can force that line through the mud obstruction. Having done that you figure out a patch to thread onto the line, the glob you melted will act as a jag to...

    Suspenders

    One needs to keep track of those straps too. Never trust them to fall where they should, never.

    Congratulations, raised 3 girls they are great. Then came three sons in law, like getting a trained dog, zero drama raising them!

    Suspenders

    I wear em all the damn time hunting. Probably the best are attached with buttons on your pants. Then there are hooks that grab your belt loops, I’ve always feared then simply jerking off the loops. Next are similar but clip into your belt, but your not a belt guy… Finally there are leather loops...
