    Hunted it last year with the wife. That unit blows. Burned alot of points. Warned by others not to do it.. I did. And I regret it 100%. Cool country. Awesome for goats.

    Kuiu zippered game bags

    Zippers are not the selling point to me, easy convenience i guess, (til they break). But that's pure speculation.. selling point for me is their size and the way they have been sewn. The more you put in them their shape is more evident and condusive to fitting amongst the framework and bags of...

    Kuiu zippered game bags

    No, i had my old game bags as well and my boys were with us, so they packed as well. I packed them kinda light. I personally went with small only due to as you get them bigger they get longer. I thought the smalls when full would fit in my packs well. Which they did. Definitely worth getting...

    Unit 34 deer

    I, and the wife hunted 8 days. Kept in contact with muleman quite regularly. Great guy, great help. Our paths did not cross but were close. 34 is one very, very sad unit for deer. I could see someone routinely pulling a 160 class buck out of that country, ( if you were powerball lucky or you...

    Walk in , access yes.

    Even though they (blm) show season access dates of 8/15 to 10/31. Does that mean a person couldn't go in there now and just hike the hills?

    Thanks for the help. After i posted, i saw the post below about packs. The "cabinet" looks great. Totally missed that the last time i looked on their site.

    Pack help

    I also looked at the mystery ranch divide. Kinda liked that idea. Buuuuttt. If u had stuff in the main center compartment, all of it would have to go for the meat bag to fit securely flat against the frame. Am i wrong on that design?

    Tag transfer

    Soooooo... i thought this was like unanimously shot down. Guess i was wrong. You thought drawing a sheep or moose tag was tough before.... now your odds are better winning the lottery. Big old ad in the moose regs this year... transferable to kid or grandkid.
