Personally for me, I like the Safariland system for retention and with minimal practice the thumb rides the release, trigger finger rides the rail and out it comes. If you have a longer coat, which with the amount of walking I wouldn't see why one would, but if you do this, one could run a...

I'm sorry, that was a mistype, SST.

6mm, have a Remington 742 Woodsmaster, beautiful gun. I can sell it with a Leupold VXii or not.

Outdoor edge razor lite and an old K-Bar. I don't get the K-Bar super sharp, because I want it to hold an edge longer, I use the Outdoor edge so I can swap blades easier if I need to do that.

I have a 6.5 Grendel with a 17 design folding stock and 12" barrel. I bought a 24" padded monitor bag for it to fit into, this bag carry's several clips and other paraphernalia in one compartment and the gun in the other. I've killed them out to 150 yards with no problem with Hornady TSX ammo...

I use cheaper merino wool, Merino.Tech from Am#$%, for layers close to me. We are all different in how we handle cold. I have a 165 weight with a zipper for warmer days, I have a 190 weight and a 250 weight. Some days I will use all three of these together as a layering system. This is their...

I'm short legged, so I have to buy my pants by size and length. A general small or medium will be too long for me.

Just-Jon: I use a detergent made for hunting clothing because they do not contain the fragrance and UV brighteners present in most grocery store detergents. I keep my clothes in large storage totes with diy ozone generator hookups. Because I hunt from the ground using traditional archery...

I've had the same pair of Cabela's Gore-Tex camo gaiters for the past 20 years. I've used them for both hunting and back country skiing and only had to replace the underfoot cords. And those Taslan shoelace cords are now coated with Shoe Goo to increase their resistance to abrasion. Works very...

To prevent your sling or other sling straps from slipping: Try silicone waterproof sealant, I use loctite, but shoe goo makes basically the same thing. Just put a few dabs where it meets your shoulder and where the sling meets your elbow for having to shoot off hand. That cheap Walmart sling...

I have Benadryl, regular and baby aspirin, a small trauma pack with quick clot, and water and a urine bag. The Benadryl and aspirin are swapped out yearly at the beginning of the season when I buy my hunting/fishing license. The urine bag is for sitting in tree stand in our Eastern woods. I'm...

You know this may help one of our members, he has missed over 5 deer this year, all under 150 yards. No, that is not long range hunting, but . . . He does well at the range, but is a terror in the woods. Some of you are making this too hard about finding a target big enough, have you seen...
