    Where are the Bears?

    Well we took everyones advice on a long walk on logging roads. Didn't know how well it would work with the wind, but somehow we stumbled up on this guy at 3:45pm.

    Where are the Bears?

    We are currently out on our first ever bear hunt in Montana, we have hunted other western game in the past but this is the first time specifically targeting bears.

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Nothing better than a successful hunt! How did the frame hold up to packing 2 bulls out? Did it have any sort of bending?

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Thanks for the feedback. I decided to rule out the Traverse just because I didn't think the frame looked heavy duty. Now I think Im just going to go with the Commander X. How do you like the frame? Does the job?

    Spotting scope dilemma: 2016 Vortex Razor Model Vs 2018-Newer Vortex Viper

    Hey everyone, looking to buy my first spotting scope. I had been doing reading online and thought I was set to get the Vortex Viper spotting scope. Looked like relatively good glass for the money. I ended up stumbling on a site that is selling new Vortex Razor 2016 Models for the exact same...

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Anybody have any experiences with these packs? I have the PursuitX now and it works ok for midwest hunting. I'm primarily looking for a new pack for a Montana Spring bear hunt. I want a bag that has the ability to carry meat if (hopefully) we are successful. I'm only really looking into Alps...
