    Backpack Recommendation

    I’m a big fan of Stone Glacier... have packed out multiple animals from Dall sheep to elk and they handle all sizes well. Also very light as a day pack. Only thing to consider is they don’t have a lot of pockets (you can add internally) to put a lot of small gear in... but I prefer small dry...

    Looking for a new 7mm Bullet

    Thanks for all the comments and advice. I’ve been trying out a few bullets and so far the gun still likes the Bergers the best....but the ELD-X a close second and accubonds third. Good thing I didn’t draw a hunt this year in NM so I have time to figure out a plan...not really ??. A 30 cal is...

    Looking for a new 7mm Bullet

    Buckhorn, There was never an exit on any of the animals...but maybe the Berger is my best option still. Thanks for all the responses.

    Looking for a new 7mm Bullet

    I might give the 195’s a try if I have enough length in the mag and see how they shoot. Attached is a pic of the 180 Hybrid after shooting a cow elk at 330 yards(pancaked). This was the best performance, The other fragments recovered on other animals were a lot smaller than this and in...

    Looking for a new 7mm Bullet

    Thanks for the info and results. And I agree completely that all bullets have their issues... If I stick with Berger, what bullet would you recommend?.. 180 VLd?...195 Extreme outer limit? Appreciate the help!

    Looking for a new 7mm Bullet

    I had a gun built and have had great results from the range, but not so good with game ..I shot 180 hybrid Bergers as a hunting round (was recommended) and killed a few animals in Alaska, but the bullet blew up into small shrapnel on all animals... although it was a very very accurate bullet...

    Spotting Scope for Backpack Hunting

    For backcountry hunts I use a Nikon ED50 and really like it. I also have a 65mm Vortex Razor but like the small, compact 50mm while packing in. Combine it with an Outdoorsman tripod and in my opinion, is a pretty solid set-up.

    NIkon fieldscope 50MM ED

    I bought this Spotter last year and I really like it. I have a Swaro HD 65mm and just wanted another option that was lighter and more compact for high country hunts(I am also a optics junkie). Although it is limited in its zoom capabilities, it is very clear and has smooth adjustments for...

    Camo in public

    I always find it interesting as to how each of us can read the same post and there can be so many different opinions and directions which the post can go. I also don't know why people can get so heated and pissy over a simple "what do you think" post.....maybe I have missed some long brewed...

    swaro 65 protective casea

    I had the same problem trying to find a case for the Swaro 65mm. Cabelas just started carrying a neoprene stay on case for the Swaro that works great. I just got mine in and they are on 39.99 rather than the Swaros expensive cover. You can find it at...
