Kodiak Mountain Goat

Likes
 1
If you've ever hunted Kodiak, or anywhere in Alaska really, you know the quality of your gear means everything. It can be the difference between a good experience and a bad one. If it can survive in Alaska, it can survive anywhere. I've put together this list of products that I personally use and would recommend to others.
