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)...
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...
For sale post-64 Model 70 chambered in .300 WSM. This gun was sold to me new, and it's only had approximately 50-60 rounds through it. It is a 2007-08 build.
Currently it is in a vertical grip carbon fiber stock from Stocky's with custom Kydex riser. Also included is the original wood stock...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Alright, someone post up a photo of a bear taken this spring already.
I am going out this weekend even though the weather looks like shite, because who knows what will happen with the schizophrenic weather in MT right now, and it is better than not hunting and seeing what's out there.
The custom turned, all-wood Ron Jeremy Squealer has done well for me. Just wail on it and get ready for some 'bearly' legal action.
Not legal in all states.
But I have used the fawn in distress successfully!
Here is another gem we get to consider:
The Trump administration's proposed 2027 budget includes a $10 billion "Presidential Capital Stewardship Program" for D.C. beautification and construction, while simultaneously slashing National Park Service (NPS) funding by roughly 25% and cutting over...
