First off, I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my previous post regarding the purchase of a new bag and what I should get. I ended up purchasing Mont-Bell Down Hugger 800 #1, which is rated at a 15 degree bag. I was having a tough time justifying that kind of money, but I happen to...

so i'm thinking of getting the kuiu 15 degree back but i'm wanting to know about some other comparable bags, or better bags that may be cheaper. kind of hard for me to pull the trigger on a $600 bag, but they seem super nice and i like the water resistant down they have. if it really is the best...

so i just got into this wonderful world of muzzleloading and i'm needing some help on a different sight system. i'm in idaho so open sights only. i've got a knight bighorn and i've been shooting 405gr powerbelts with 100gr of triple 7. this is about as good a group as i've gotten at 100yds...

so i'm thinking of getting a 24" varmint contour in 223 wylde. ive seen good and bad reviews. just curious if anyone here has any personal experience with them. any other suggestions on reasonable priced barrels in that configuration for under $250? thanks in advance. first build so i don't...

guys, i need a little help. i've got a knight bighorn that i bought new back in 2011. decided to finally get it out and shoot it. the first time out (friday) i got 6 shots and the nipple warped and had hairline cracks. could not fit a cap on it after that. thought maybe i dry fired it and caused...

so I send back a pair of burris signature select 12x50 for repair. burris couldn't not fix them so they sent me a new set of burris Montana 10x42's. I was a little upset that I sent in 12 power and got back 10's. I have a really nice set of 10x42's. I do not see a lot about these glasses and...

Looking for a quality overnight pack and looking for some insight. really have no direction thus far. going to be living out of my family's cabin in the cascade Idaho area with my girlfriend and plan on checking out a lot of lakes, trails, scouting, etc. a lot will be day hikes but we'll for...

so I recently purchased some new bore solvents to try out. I just finished using the kg-1 carbon remover. holy cow does this stuff work! from left to right: ran one wet patch/ran one more wet patch and let sit for 5 minutes/wet nylon brush and ran 25 strokes. re-wet and ran 25 more strokes/ran...

I've got 6pt that my great uncle killed years ago and I'm wanting to get them lightly stained and mounted on a nice plaque. they are hard horned but pretty dang white. any suggestions on a treasure valley taxidermist? I'd try it myself, but already know what the result would be. lol!! thanks in...

just curious if anyone has any experience with both of these bags and which one they prefer? I currently have two sets of the tag bags (deer & elk). I need to replace one of my deer bags after shredding it last week. completely my fault. tried stuffing a whole whitetail doe in one...you know the...

so I picked up a core4element 190 1/4 zip shirt this summer. pretty good deal on camofire, so what the hell. this is my first piece of merino clothing. anyway, I was up around 7800ft on opening morning and that shirt plus my russell primaloft jacket kept me quite warm and dry while hiking. the...

called Nikon on Monday and told them that my elevation cap was finally lost on my monarch. the fine threads seemed a bit stripped out and it must have come off. had a new cap sitting at my front door on Friday, free of charge. ive had that scope for over 10 years and its as good as the day I...

anyone have any experience with this knife yet? just ordered one today. I've got an edge and was impressed with it last season. I cant imagine i'll be disappointed with it, but wouldn't mind hearing some opinions on it. thanks.

has anyone used the weston pro 2300? getting tired of going through food savers and thinking of going with this model. would like to hear some input...pros/cons. thanks.

i'm looking to get a good wool sweater for my late season hunting and winter activities. can anyone point me in the direction of some good brands? just looking for a basic style/color. nothing fancy. thanks.

just curious how many have used both the hornady set and the rcbs precision mics? i have the hornady set and i'm thinking of switching over to rcbs. seems the repeatibilty might be better with the rcbs. not overly impressed with the hornady set. not hard to get a couple thou variance using...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-13 AT 02:23PM (MST)[p]so now, almost every page/thread i go to has a damn youtube ad that automatically starts playing...nice. it's never done this before. i take it theres nothing you can do to stop it except wait for it to load and hit pause?

guess they've got one now. this was news to me.

so i just bought a leupold gr 15-30x50 spotter and have a sony dsc-h90 cybershot. i can't seem to find any adapters? can someone point me in the right direction? thanks.

just ordered two.

just curious if anyone could direct me to where i could find a neoprene spotting scope cover for my leupold gold ring 15-30x50. i've been looking online and cant find anything. any help would be appreciated. thanks!!

just curious how many, if anyone, has a wicked edge and what you think of them? i've seen some videos and it looks like it does an amazing job. but them i looked at the price and my heart skipped a beat!!

so i've been wanting a home defense shotgun for awhile and decided to pull the trigger and got a 870 express tactical yesterday. just curious if anyone else has one and what accessories you have added to yours and why. just looking to make it a bit more effective and efficient. thanks.

i've always wanted to toy around with leather and since my deer and elk seasons are over, i thought why not give it a try, now. picked up a few tools and some scrap leather today and started on a sheath for my havalon piranta. got the front wet formed and just started the drying process in the...

sorry for starting another thread, but i had some different questions and didnt want to hijack someone elses thread. so i just skinned out my bull head, removed the lower jaw, eyeballs and most of the meat. i've got a little trimming left to do and need to get the brain out. so here are some...

so, i'm not a lope hunter but i came across this good buck last week on my bull hunt here in idaho and had to get a picture. just curious if anyone can give a rough score. guess it may be a bit difficult with just a frontal view. i know if i had a tag i'd shoot him!

hope the wyoming boys get to have some fun this fall. we'll see... http://www.jhnewsandguide.com/article.php?art_id=8966

LAST EDITED ON Sep-01-12 AT 03:20PM (MST)[p]just curious if anyone uses the big agnes sleeping bag systems? found it pretty interesting that they utilize all the insulating material on the top while the underside just has a sleeve to insert a standard or insulated sleeping pad. if anyone uses...

looking to get some lightweight game bags. has anyone used the t.a.g. bags and/or the caribou gear bags? just looking for some input, reviews, pros/cons. thanks.

picked up my bull tag at the downtown f&g office this afternoon. they said they were "hoping" to have the unclaimed tags posted by friday. that'd be nice, but we'll see. also got a little clarification on another item: if you draw an antlered deer/elk, the one year waiting period only applies...

so, how the heck do you do that? i'm sure it's easy and right in front of my eyes, but i can't seem to locate ant clickable field/tab. thanks.

looking at getting one of each and curious what everyone is using and/or recommends. my current headlamp is a noname pos. i was looking at the optimus terra lite he cookset. seems like a decent, basic kit (pot w/a frying pan or lid). any input or recommendations would be appreciated. not a...

so i just picked up a garmin oregon 550t the other day and i'm extremely happy so far. very simple to use and a ton of features. i guess i never realized what you could as far as mapping these days...uploadong and downloading to/from your device/computer. i just downloaded a free map of idaho...

does anyone currently use this model? just looking for a little feedback...good/bad. from what i've read, it seems like a pretty good unit. cabelas has them on sale right now for $349.99. haven't been able to find them anywhere online for that price either. my local sportsmans warehouse said...

couple questions here.. what primer seating tool are you guys using and what are the pro/cons you're experiencing? i can't stand the stock priming tool on my lyman press and i'm looking for a handheld version. also, who has any experience with both rcbs precision mics and the hornady lock n...

so which of these two packs would you choose? pros? cons? if you have one or the other....or both, i'd like to hear your thoughts too. thanks,

should be an interesting event. http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/summit/

so i just purchased a remington 700 vsf (heavy barrel) and i'm thinking of putting a vortex crossfire 6-24-50 scope on it. i've had this scope sitting new in the box for over a year and was going to upgrade, but i think it'll do great on this .22-250. i'm curious if anyone knows if i could mount...

so, i am by no means an expert on judging tracks, hell not even a bear hunter (although a always have a tag just incase). anyway, came on these the other day and wondered what you would say the estimated size this guy would be. you can see my tracks in the right corner (size 12 meindl boot). the...
