ALPS OutdoorZ Elite Backcountry Pack System is a new, ultralight hunting pack perfect for hunters braving tough terrain and harsh elements for the ultimate game. The strength of the new Elite System stems from its Elite Frame, improving structural integrity while reducing overall weight.
Shotguns are different from rifles or muskets in that they fire multiple projectiles; most people know that. A rifle fires a single bullet each time the trigger is pulled. When a shotgunner pulls the trigger great bunches of pellets fly out the end of the muzzle. The pellets are actually round balls of lead, steel or other metal. Think BBs from a BB gun with the orbs varying in size, larger or smaller as needed.
How much larger or smaller? That depends.... “Buckshot” shotgun loads may only have the amount of pellets you can count on your fingers or fingers and toes. The number of projectiles in birdshot loads depends on the type of birds the shotgunner is planning to shoot. Generally speaking, the larger the bird, the larger the pellet. Goose hunters may load their guns with shells containing just over a hundred pieces of shot. Quail and dove hunters will likely choose shotshells with four or five times that number.
Serious hunters are already running with the big dogs, and demand a treestand that will measure up to their stature and hunting potential. The Millennium Treestand M150 Monster offers to do just that, as a working-horse hang-on stand rated to safely and securely support 300lbs.

I love harvesting and eating Chanterelle mushrooms!
In fact, Chanterelles would be part of my last supper if I knew the exact date ahead of time!
Stopping on a trail above a large pool on Clear Creek near Harrodsburg, I wipe sweat from my brow while peering down at cruising shadows below. The carp are schooled up and actively feeding just below a small rifle. They are prime targets.
