Big or Bust

Great job bud... Looking a bit svelte I might add....

Just got through. No fire or shooting restrictions in Coronado Forest. All lifted.

O for 2 this morning on calls...

You actually got through. Congrats. Lol. I've tried. Still propane only or no info on that end?

The wildlandfire link above has all info about every forest in the state other than the Coronado as of last night.

That date has long passed and the above notice that restrictions are lifted says nothing about the Coronado.

Can find nothing on the Coronado Forest....

SWFA...

I've glassed up 7 this year this far and have another 20 on cameras. Southern AZ overrun. Water related for sure but on wet years it's almost as bad...

John is THE man...

Great job guys!

While trying to get a deer for someone else...

Classic thread on why good folks don't post on here or elsewhere much anymore. The guy who has likely helped more folks on this entire forum is getting flamed for asking for help by folks with nothing better to do.

Wish I could help bro. Same buck?

Mule deer we taking now? Not elk.. Was gonna say that's an interesting elk location ...grin ..

I thought we were talking backpack hunting coffee not best coffee at camp where you ain't carrying it on your back. If that's the case, I'll bring my coffee maker on an inverter or power station and have gallons of it...grin ..

Haven't tried either of those. I'll do it now.

Best instant coffee that I've tried and I've tried pretty much them all is Cafe Bustelo. https://www.google.com/search?q=Cafe+Bustelo+Instant+Coffee+Cafe+con+Leche&safe=active&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLVT9c3NEw3MMvIyi7JecRowS3w8sc9YSn9SWtOXmPU5OIKzsgvd80rySypFJLmYoOyBKX4uVB18vxiFAjILyjNSSxSKCjKTylNLim-xMLhpjhhsyHHq7MdrEyLWLWcE9NSFZxKi0tSc_IVPPOKSxLzShSc89PSUlMVwHLJ-XkKPqnJGakHWLsXPLk5e_Ocl5sYD7BeuX322qU7t0_aHWD9vnTt3qNLdr41P8C6Z_XM43-O7trYBVTROLvlxrNTx2dGH2C9-P_o5i27bx8XOsD6YvOuHcsvLNifeIB1_-P2v3ta3_fuBSq-c-bD6VNzN68KOsC689e6fxe275qVdotNkkFrahVXava3z_ukbjf6ev3IO7DaVnR3rEMOABw4voYnAQAA&prmd=sinv&sxsrf=ALeKk00tgCERJvHCK8IYByujPQWreESeVg:1600187088282&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiChOK3yevrAhUUsp4KHQnpAUAQ_AUoAnoECBgQAg&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=4

On average, lifetime warranty products are even lower quality than their price point as their lifetime warranty is factored into the cost. And you'll be using the warranty. It's great marketing however. Warranties are great until your crap keeps breaking when you're in the field. It can be a hunt deal breaker...

Amen .

For my back and fit, I'd put Kifaru, Stone Glacier, and Mystery Ranch above Kuiu for packs. Kuiu's zippers are weakish as well and their fabric is more prone to rip and tear. All of this is of course in my personal experience and I love Kuiu....

Amen. I'll be 9 days living here out of a Reckoning in a few weeks. Three shooters found this past weekend.

My setup too. I prefer the gun bearer on the front but the Reckoning is a kick-butt bag for sure. Kifaru gives you multiple options.

I have the Reckoning bag with the built in meat shelf and run the gun bearer and a couple of guide lids and smaller accessory bags. Lots of cool features and it's my do-all pack. If I have a pack on my back this one is it. It serves as my "daypack" or it can be used as an expedition pack as I'll be living out of it in a few weeks for 9 days. I've never understood the concept of a daypack. I want all my stuff plus space if needed for cape, meat, etc. on my way back.

Yes - Kifaru for the win.... Casey, I can stop by one day and you can take a peak if you wish.
