As mentioned above, drive the Rim road and side roads. They will be in the open and burn areas, usually hillsides. The peak season seems to be end of July through August, depending on rain.

Big score on the raspberries this weekend.

Wow! Great buck! Especially for a first. Good story. Thanks for the magazine link...looks like a good one. I may have to join.

Congrats Evan! You guys have more luck than... Let me know what deer hunt you got, when the results are posted. Brad

Awesome video! and awesome hunt! What an adventure! I can only dream of it.

Great footage!! Really enjoyed it....thanks!

WOW! What a great trip! I would love to do that!

What engine does this have in it? Not familiar with Dodge.

A little more detail and pictures of the features would be nice. Website doesn't have much.

I have a $25 Cabellas gift card I'd like to trade for a Sportsmans Warehouse gift card of equal value. I am in east Mesa and rarely get to Cabellas. I prefer to meet face to face if possible. I work in west Chandler and can travel a bit if necessary. If no other option, we can cross them in the mail.

Thats helpful info....thanks!!

Do the pants fit true to size? I am in the market, but am hesitant to order without trying on. I prefer a stretch waistband that can adjust to my gut. I am 5'11" 170lbs with a 34" waist. I buy 35" jeans. I have the Kenai jacket and the Super Down hooded jacket. I love them both, which serve different purposes. They are both very light weight and compressible.

Nice tent! Looks like the total weight is around 4.5 lbs? I am in the market, but wanting to stay around 3 lbs or less...so probably gonna have to be a 3-season 1-man tent.

Any updates to this thread? Any pack-out pictures? Are you still loving the pack?....specifically the Icon Pro 3200. I just bought the 3200. It took some messing with it to get the fit right. Originally I ordered the tall frame and ended up ordering the regular frame, which seemed to fit me better. I am 5' 11" 170 lbs with 18" torso. I will send back the tall frame once I am sure which one I will keep. I still need to hit the trail with it. I have had it loaded with 50 lbs and seems comfortable. I am still trying to get used to the lumbar pad, as I have not had a lumbar pad on a pack before, so I am not used to the feel. I love the quality of the materials and assembly, the many pockets, the adjustability, the strap management, the comfort with a load, and customer service. It seems it will be large enough for a 1 - 3 night backpack trip. I can't wait to do a hike...maybe this weekend.

I have a Kodiak and havent needed a stove yet...propane heater is plenty. I also have the Alaknak 12x12 with wood stove. It is great for cold weather. It has a zip-out floor panel so the stove sits on bare ground. There is nothing like laying in the sleeping bag, listening to the crackle of burning wood and watching the glow of the fire.

I want to give a big kudos to Kuiu and Tim. I ordered the Icon Pro 3200 and received it just a few days later. I had a couple issues with the fit, so I posted on their FB page. Tim responded promptly and asked me to call him. He was very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. We decided I may need the regular frame instead of the tall, so Tim expedited the order and I had it in two days. I now have a better fit that should work for me. Now I just have to hit the trail for a real test. Thank you Tim and Kuiu for a good experience!

What year, model Kuiu pack? I read they had trouble with the older frames. I believe they redesigned it last year. I just bought the Icon Pro 3200. I had a little trouble with the fit using the tall frame. Now I have the regular size frame and fits me better. The pack looks like good quality materials and assembly. The true test will be when I get it on the trail.

What's the difference between bonus points and preference points? I know some states have a preference system.

Great information!! I have been thinking of doing this for a couple years. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I bought my wife one of these, without the safety. I like it so much that I want one now. I do not want the safety though....otherwise I would consider this deal. I have a Kytex mag pouch for my XDs .40 and really like it. What is the Talon grip? Is it a grip tape or wrap?

I think there is a rodeo going on in Cave Creek.

Cougar rodeo. A couple lassos would stretch him out.

B.S.!!

I saw them at the show. Very nice!...great job!!

My hunting buddies are not tech savy. They rely on me to do the map work. I'm the one making/printing custom maps for new areas, which can take hours. I hand them each a map and it never comes out of their pack...if it makes it to the pack.
