Cabo Fishing Trip
My family used to hit up Cabo San Lucus every other year or so. They have moved a little farther north for better fishing, but have also started going in October. Not sure what the fishing is like in February, but I landed a 45lb Rooster fishing from a Panga along the shore between Cabo Pulmo...- Frenchy

Mystery Ranch Pop Up Pack Review
I had a buddy pack out the hind quarter of a raghorn bull this year with one. He said it did the job just fine. I met him on his way out and gave him my old cableas frame pack. he used that the last 2 miles and said he actually preferred the pop-up.- Frenchy

That'll do
Nice! I was up in the bridger's this morning with a buddy who has that tag. The only thing we could turn up were a few does and one lonely little 2x4 buck. It was a beautiful day to be out, but I came to the realization that maybe I'm just not a mountain mule deer hunter. That is some... -

2019 Kodiak DIY deer and goats
Weather can be a huge factor in success. The one time I hunted it, we filled two goat tags the first morning, and then a storm blew in and we were stuck in camp for the majority of the time after that. Doubtful that we would have filled two tags had we not got it done the first day. And i too...- Frenchy

Let me copy your muzzleloader process.
To clarify, Sabots are not illegal to hunt with in Montana unless you are in a weapons restricted area.- Frenchy

Are you currently shooting sabots, or something else? Lubed Conical, or balls?- Frenchy

Choosing the correct size Mystery Ranch pack
This is good advice. The waist belt obviously needs to be large enough to get buckled, but you generally tighten them up rather snugly. The more important fit will be just as described above. You need enough adjustment that the shoulder straps sit correctly on the shoulders while the waist...- Frenchy

Gear Priority List
I guess I'm one to not place boots that high on the list either. Should note that I've never spent more than $150 on boots. I've packed many a 90 lb loads on my Danners and never had a complaint. I'm also a a guy who will backpack in a pair of light trail running shoes over boots every day of...- Frenchy

Green backpacker
I should have also mentioned that the MR Metcalf is listed at 4333 cu inches. And I would not go any smaller than that for a multi day back pack style hunt. For a 5-day hunt you may want one a little bigger. So start looking at the 70 liter and up size bags. or like i said pick up a cheap...- Frenchy

Green backpacker
I did a 3 day hunt with a Cabela's pack frame that I picked up off of craigslist for $50. Used bungee chords to to strap my gear to the frame. Worked Great. The year before that I used my 15 year old North Face backpack, and hauled out camp and a front shoulder with it before heading back in...- Frenchy

Gear Priority List
Your set-up just fine for Car camping, so I'll respond as if you are moving toward the 2-3 day pack trip. 1) pack. You just can't use that small of a pack for the 2-3 day trip. I would go with something in the MR Metcalf size or larger. The SG 5900 would do it. 2) Sleeping bag/Pad. Get a...- Frenchy

Backpack for Christmas
Yeah, I've had my hands on the popup and it looks like the perfect day-pack. Haven't seen it loaded with meet yet, but if it can haul a load half-way decent I may end up picking one of those up just for a lighter smaller option.- Frenchy

Backpack for Christmas
I've been contemplating a new pack for the past couple of years. Just had a hard time prioritizing one. Had my list down to the Metcalf and SG Sky. Went and tried both of them on, and loved the Stone Glacier Frame. Then I found a good deal on a MR Metcalf this summer and decided to give it a...- Frenchy

Pillow?
I use the Therma-Rest one as well. It seems to work a lot better than the clothes in a stuff sack. I am one that will sacrifice a little space/weight for the comfort of a pillow to make sure I get as good of sleep as I can...- Frenchy

Mountain Bikes in Wild Places

All or Nothing - 2018 Missiouri Breaks Elk
What days will you be out hunting? First two weeks of rifle season I'm assuming? Take note of the available water sources when you are out on your scouting trips. Lots of years it gets dry up in that country.- Frenchy
