Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu
Some former SIMMS guys are part of the mgmt. team for KUIU now, and KC Walsh has some $$$ stake. It won't be the KUIU of old, as the SIMMS playbook contains plenty of lifestyle pushes, retail expansion, etc. as part of the plan. At the end of the day, the core, DIY hunter (real or perceived)...- Jules Winnfield

Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu
None of these moves are inherently fatal, but together it is the same old PE playbook: widen the customer base, grow revenue, and eventually exit at a higher multiple. The risk isn't that KUIU's hunting gear will suddenly become garbage, I think it is less obvious than that. It's that R&D...- Jules Winnfield

2026 bears
This bear was at 7300', and fed his way up another 200' or so before I lost him in the timber across the canyon. I took these and some video through the spotter at 1300 yards from where I was glassing. There was zero snow above him to the ridgeline over 8k. Lots of greenery at that level, and I...- Jules Winnfield

Spotting scope tripod
I will second the Tricer set up. I have the lighter BC tripod, but that LP pan head is awesome; the panning feature (hard to explain) is really slick, and makes grid glassing much easier and more precise. That would be my vote.- Jules Winnfield

Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?
This is the most accurate statement I have read in a week. Just think if you had to interview and hire trump for a key role in any company, and you knew his background, bankruptcies, cheating, etc., or had to sit through his "answers". I don't think there is a business owner with half a brain...- Jules Winnfield

Montana draw 2026
Out of curiosity and my lack of experience hunting mule deer out of state, which states have a good/workable program in place in terms of mgmt? It would be unbelievably satisfying to see MT steer the mule deer ship in the right direction in terms of limited draws, weapon choices, rut season...- Jules Winnfield

Hunting backpack that works for carry-on
I would agree with the others on not doing it, and using a more airline travel friendly option. Hunting packs suck as carry-on bags. And if you get the good 'ol TSA random check at security and swabs on the pack, it is not a stretch that they will pick up gunpowder residue. I carry ammo in my...- Jules Winnfield

What are you guys paying for gas?
Just remember, if grandpa didn't get mad and start yelling at the clouds and his name in the epstein files 38k times, we wouldn't be taking out loans to fill up the tank....but hey, no new wars, right? This is just a 'little journey' so the markets can be manipulated for the top .01% and a...- Jules Winnfield
