I received my Sitka Gear shipment today and when trying on...the Jetstream Jacket in large is snugger fitting in the body and arms than the 90%...I thought this was rather strange. I am wondering if anybody has noticed this with theirs and if they would recommend ordering a size bigger in the...

I am looking at some binoculars for hunting. They will be used for glassing far ridges out west for deer/elk/sheep and also in the midwest whitetail hunting in the woods/fields. specifically, I really like the Nikon EDG 10x32 and have been comparing to the Vortex Razor 10x42, Atlas Intrepid Ed...

Excellent. Thanks for the thoughts. I like the flexibility of the Wolf Alpha sytem. It is the Wolf Alpha pack and the Wolf Pup removable Sleeping System Department that can go on the bottom of the pack if you need the storage. THis way it can be a 3 day pack to a 10 day hunt pack. I still...

Thanks for all the thoughts. I really appreciate it. Does anybody have any pictures of classic timberline mule deer country?

For those who have hunted Muleys in the high country...I am wondering if this far mountainside looks promising that it will hold Muleys. Plenty of water in the area, it is a south east facing slope. The valley is at 9500' and the mid part of the mountain where the Pines start (middle of the...
