Crispi boots..... this is the way.

Got a pair on sale a while back and I love them. I probably won't go with anything else.

Which model did you get ? I wear them for work and trips to the woods, finding that different models work for different seasons, terrain, etc.

I’ll add that I haven’t hunted for about 6 years. Powerline work does, however, drag a guy out there.

Mine were specifically bought for hunting and hiking. I got the crispi Nevada uninsulated version.

It had zero break-in required and is one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.
 
I was hunting Sunday morning and had a fisher come through about an hour before this happened and looking at the other video, this isn’t the same one. This video is also much better due to the length and how damn close it got! No clue what it wanted other than to say hi I guess lol.

What does this group think of binocular/rangefinder combos? Specifically the Vortex Fury 5000? I know there are much more expensive sets out there. Really liking the idea of the combination in one system. I have used these before and they worked great (for me). Vortex additionally has them with advanced ballistics software (for an extra $500) that I don't know much about, so probably don't need...right? Interested to see if anyone has any additional feedback.

if its $500 extra its EXTRA good so you DOOOOO need it

that's the smallest bear I've ever seen

I saw 10 does and approximately a million turkeys but no bucks. It was still a great day walking around in the woods.

I've had more than a few hunts spoiled by a flock of brain-dead turkeys bumbling into my shooting lane at the worst time. It's taken considerable restraint to prevent me from blasting through them with a .30-06 to teach them a lesson.
 
Found some success yesterday morning on my plains muzzleloader deer hunt! :cool: Got a good shot quartering towards me on this Whitetail doe at 120 yards after a 45-minute stalk to get within range, closing from 350 yards, crossing a river (creek, really) in the process. Center punched the close lung, severed an artery, and almost cut the kidney in half. She dropped dead ~50 yards away. Massive blood clot in the body cavity. Missed the heart and other lung, but no matter. Bullet stopped right under the skin just forward of the far side rump. Not much meat damage. :thumbsup:

For anyone wondering, the smokepole is a late 90's vintage .50 cal Remington 700 MLS with some trigger work, Williams Western Precision peep/hood sights, and a Badger Ridge 209 conversion I recently installed (which I'm extremely happy with). Shooting a 348 grain Hornady ELD-X Bore Driver over 100 grains of Pyrodex. Very little elevation change from 25-100 yards, I see less than 2" at the range, zeroed at 120 yards. Starts dropping around 135 yards. The gun can do better, but I can't see that well to make it do better without a scope! (We can't shoot with optics here in CO during muzzleloader season.)

Field dressed her with a CPK EDC2 and FK2. Quartered her out after the ~1 mile drag back to the truck with the same 2 knives, plus a CPK "Bad Idea" FK2! :) Some CPK content below!!!

My son with his FK2:

Cutting the sternum with the FK2. Just give it a tap. Tap, tap, tappy... 🤣

Great trip!!! Saturday was a bit hot, hit 85 degrees. Yesterday was lovely, about 68 degrees. Sunny and not much wind.

Unfortunately, my son missed a buck at 99 yards on Saturday morning. Since he hasn't punched his tag yet, we might head back out this next weekend (close of the season) if the weather isn't too bad.
