I love my X2 as well, but it really isn't the best choice for multi-day hunts. You can get a lot of gear in/on it, but you have to be creative and you can't pack out your gear/meat in the same trip....

I drew September archery bull, 4B. That's 2nd choice. It's been 10 years since my last bull tag. I've had 3 cow tags in the last 10 years. None of my buds were drawn. Good luck.

I recieved my order (L1 Alpine top, L2 Tundra top, L3 Zephyr jacket and pants, Gale jacket...all in large). Thanks to Chad at Linton Outdoors for great customer service and speedy delivery! He was...

Well, more Russell gear is on the way. I ordered the L1 Alpine top, L2 Tundra top, L3 Zephyr jacket and pants...all in large. I decided to keep the large L4 Gale jacket. Should be here Tues or Wed.

I just got the Russell Gale jacket too. The feel/fit/look is quality. I haven't had a chance to field test it yet. i also have the Storm Cloth II hooded jacket. It is waterproof and light weight, but...

I have the original Alaknak 12' x 12'. I bought it in 2005. If the tent material is still the same, it is good stuff. Very sturdy in wind, never a leak, breathable (maybe not as well as canvas), much...

I have the Exped Synmat 7. It is well insulated and comfy. It is a bit heavy but packs small. Also, a bit noisy when moving around. The price was right at the time.

I am trying to get into the Russell gear as well. Without being able to try it on for size, it's hit and miss. I bought the L4 Gale. Looks like a great jacket. I am a slim 5' 11" and 170lbs. The...

If I have time to set up, I use my glassing tripod for the front rest and a Stoney Point collapsable bipod for the rear rest under the rifle stock. It's quite solid in a sitting position. I've not...

Guy's presentation at the Phoenix ISE, this past weekend, was great! Very informative and inspiring. The passion and dedication to hunting is obvious. It was nice to meet you Guy.

I bought the X2 last year and love it! It's the previous model. The newer model has improvements to the hip belt/pockets and has an aluminum frame. Can't add much to the previous posts....it's a...

I agree with the last two posts. You get what you pay for. A few years ago I bought a new Nikon Prostaff 65mm. It wasn't bad at lower mags, but did not have a crisp focus at higher mags. It didn't do...

I bought a bushnell tripod a few years ago, from Sportsman Warehouse. I think it's made by Slik. It's about 3.5 pounds and I can sit or stand. It was around $120. I've been really happy with it....

Try the Snipepod. I have no experience with it, but it has my interest. https://snipepod.ipower.com/index2.html

Tell me about it. My last archery bull tag was 2001. I've drawn a couple cow tags since. Resident archery early bull draw odds average around 10%, less for "big bull" areas. Some November archery...

1) current weight: 170
2) goal weight: 165
3) goals: develop cardio and endurance by running 3 - 5 mornings per week, weight training a couple times a week. I can loose the 5 pounds by eating a...

I've never hunted Blacktails. I can't imagine any deer tougher to hunt than the Couse Whitetail. They are more like goats than deer...the steeper, rockier, brushier the better for them. You will come...
