My favorite pant. They have great dwr as well. If they had a fancy name they'd be over a hundred bucks.- MtnWest

Moving to Boise ID!!!
Same here. Welcome maustin to an awesome place to live and explore. I do all my own bow work as well but needed a pro shop for a warranty issue last year. Danny at Archery Central was great and doesn't come off like he's Joe Bitchin' as some bow shops can.- MtnWest

2016 Idaho Bull
Shot this bull Monday 9/5 Idaho public land OTC. Backpacked into the area for several days with my son, the elk were quiet until rain came in Sunday night. Jake recorded video on his phone which was helpful because I could hear the hit and pass through. In the video I had a slightly different... -
Idaho activity
Cold rain flipped the switch Sunday night and bulls kept us awake at all hours. Stuck a 5pt chasing a cow yesterday morning as we were stalking another bull that was bugling a raking. Good luck out there.
