    Trekking Pole to Shooting Stick Adapter "Quick-StiX"

    already ordered and showed a few other hunters up in AK. This is hopefully the solution I have been looking for. Several Kodiak bear, mountain goat, black tail deer, and moose hunts I can think of where this would have been the fix. Usually able to go prone on the sheep hunts, but now I've got...

    Trekking Pole to Shooting Stick Adapter "Quick-StiX"

    Will use the backpack for prone rest instead of bipod, been doing that for 20+ years of hunting in Alaska, but maybe I don't know what I'm missing? What bipod do you use? There has been quite a few scenarios in my neck of the woods that brush or slopes would not allow for bipod to work. Need...

    Best pack for mountain hunting

    Have been using the Kuiu icon pro 7200 for the past 6 or 7 years. Love it! Majority of dall sheep, caribou, mountain goat hunts I have been on require substantial amount of gear, as they are 4-10 day hunts. Only draw back to this particular pack, is you can put more weight in it than you should...
