After hunting big and small game with a bow and a rifle, hunting in dry conditions and in snow and rain, and hunting near the trail and in the back country, by foot and by horse, our team went through a lot of gear before we found the best options.
We are not biased towards products, other than their quality. We use the gear that we recommend, and aren’t paid to use the gear. We are here to help the reader attain their goals. We research and provide the information needed, so the reader can make a solid decision as efficiently as possible. We exist to provide you, our reader, with recommendations for the best gear for your hunts and the best hunts for your gear. We also provide you “how to” advice on gear from a network of seasoned hunters, fishing experts, trusted guides, wildlife biologists and other outdoor enthusiasts you can trust!
We want to save you time in the process of finding and selecting the right gear for your hunts without breaking the bank. We like “top shelf.”
tried the new marsupial no mag harness for some NL pure 10x42s with the head rest. Loved everything about the harness, but didn't love the way it fit the binos. The kuiu pro harness fit them better so that's what I ended up with. I will say the marsupial harness seems more functional all around (what even is the tiny kuiu front pocket for). I'm planning on picking up some of marsupial's other stuff. More impressed with it overall than the kuiu.
Thanks for the review. I’ve had my Kuiu pro for a few years and also had the version previous. I’ve wanted to swap over to Marsupial but I’m happy to hear that my Kuiu stacks up fairly well in comfort. Thanks !
I've owned four releases two thumb and two hinge and this one is by far the best of the bunch. If you set the tension just right you'll see the difference and what this fellow is saying is correct. In setting the tension use the method favoured by John Dudley. It's not a cheapie by any means but it's not Stan-type prices, I'm not particularly eager to spend tons of cash but I'd say in this case it was money well spent.
I may be a total green horn but how many guys does it take to shoot a bull.... putting a shitload of human scent up and down the mountain seems like everything would be blown out by day 4...... I guess if you are the only two hunters with tags it wouldn't matter. But I have never been hunting in Nevada for elk so heck if I know. Just an observation with all these you tube pro staff teams it's a little bit to much for me. One hunter and one spotter seems adiquate.
Social media has only made things worse. Hunters taking unethical 1,000 yard shots at elk, sometimes wounding them. Then making kills and whooping it up and yelling and high fiving when they kill something like its a game show. On the flip side, having extra pairs of eyes during a hunt is extremely helpful along with packing out the animal when you get one on the ground. Another reason is that Nevada locks you out of the draw system for 7 years wherher you harvest an elk or not. So hunters need all the help they can get. I harvested an elk solo this year and the pack out was brutal. They are huge animals. One hindquarter alone is more than 50lbs. You still have the other 3 legs, the head, organs and other cuts like tenderloins and backstraps as well as neck meat and flap/flank/ribs. Despite the bad stuff you see on RU-vid, thankfully there are many more cool hunters out in the field who respect nature and the animals they hunt as well as time spent with family and good friends.
I use my bow spider to hang bows on my wall at my house, on my belt at the range, to hang my bow when in a treestand and attach my bow to my pack. It's become a big part of my gear.
