    REI CEO to head Interior?

    *shrug* I could be wrong. Strange and unexpected things sometimes happen with the government, I know I work for it, but eventually things revert to the mean. I hope she turns out good for hunting, and lord knows I've spent a lot of money at REI, but despite your example I'm staying skeptical...

    REI CEO to head Interior?

    How much actual say do you all think she'll really have in setting policy? Given this administration, and how Washington works generally, she'll go along with whatever policies and views are en vogue with the ruling party. Whoever gives the President and his party the most money is who sets the...

    Crossbows

    Damn really? No sabots? wonder why? (watch, sabots vs. no sabots in muzzleloader is probably yet another third rail :D)

    Sweet Hunting Clothing

    Wow, the price is right for their merino base layers, might have to get me some. Lot cheaper than Sitka or even Smartwool.

    Quebec bou

    Quebec Caribou Hunt 2012: the AAR We were signed up to hunt early December at Nouchimi camp for the late caribou hunt. It was an amazing experience, I'd recommend it to any hunter, but it went completely differently than expected (but expectations that were grounded in complete ignorance) and...

    870 Pump Deer Gun

    I have a rifled barrel for slugs and that plus saboted slugs is very nice as you say. There are counties in my state where centerfire rifles aren't allowed but shotguns w/ slugs are and this way you can get close to using a rifle. The only problem is that saboted slugs are very expensive, like...

    Permethrin and fancy hunting clothes

    Just FYI, I applied the Permethrin to sitka clothes, no problems and no ticks.

    Which Sitka Jacket

    Do any of you wear any of the treestand stuff (I know this is a threadjack but I am in the East)? Specifically the Fanatic jacket? I wear layers under my ascent and/or downpour jackets and it's ok but it's going to eventually be too cold for that. It looks great but pricey, wonder what folks...

    what is your backpack tent and bag

    My backpacking tent is a Eureka! Spitfire 2 tent I got at a Bass Pro, it doesn't suck - light and packs down fairly small but it fits one man-sized man, not two. My bag is a Snugpak Softie Elite 3, which is a great bag and I add a silk liner which adds 10 deg. F to its low temperature rating (so...

    Quebec bou

    Hi all, This december (2nd week) me and a few other people are going to Nouchimi camp in northern Quebec (east of James Bay) to hunt caribou. Two of us are from Virginia, the other two from Minnesota. We've got all the official propaganda, tips and what not, just wondering if any of you have...

    Permethrin and fancy hunting clothes

    Thanks for the replies, all. I'm gonna go ahead and do it and will report back progress. Sitka should make me an ambassador or something for voluntary product testing. :D A few weeks ago I was scouting some of our leases and was so concentrated on scent control I completely overlooked tick...

    Permethrin and fancy hunting clothes

    Hello forum, new poster here. I recently upgraded and bought a Sitka "system" which I can't wait to wear out to the woods come Saturday when bow season opens. This being eastern Virginia, our woods swarm with ticks so I'd like to treat the Sitka clothes with Permethrin which works a charm...
