    Considering investing in a pair of gaiters, are they worth it?

    I have used kenetreks, however my biggest complaint about gaiters are that when the weather is a bit warm the strap that goes around the bottom of the boot tends to make a snow/mud ball making life a pain, and also the increased sweating of the lower leg. The people at firstlite had a soft-shell...

    6.5 Weatherby RPM

    I have the TI in RPM, it likes the 140 accubond, I broke it in on Hornady interlock and it shoots that damn well also. Used it on a blackbuck and a axis deer in Texas back in March with excellent results, and no it wasn't under a feeder but spot and stock, 280 was longest shot. I believe the...

    Bad outfitter practices in central Montana.

    Federal Land for the Homeless

    You could give them a 10000 square foot home and they would defecate in the closet, store the garbage in the bedroom and rip the copper out of the garage for the habit they endure. Their is a small percentage that could succeed with a little help back up, but the vast majority of homeless or...

    More deer killed by wolves than hunters in some Wisconsin counties

    He did tjones lol, Now I may be wrong but my understanding is that the canadian grey wolf that was imported to the U.S is not the same wolf that Lewis and Clark or my ancestors would have came across back in the day. With that said I do not dislike the wolf, but I wish the politics would stay...
