    Bugle sounds

    No way to ever be sure so I always treat them all like it’s an elk. Hard to explain until you’ve been in it but I tend to be able to discern elk or human based more on the tendencies of the bugling than the actual sound if that makes sense. It seems like most people I’ve called in kinda went...

    Classified Ads $5 lowball offers

    I feel like it’s generally understood that if price isn’t listed as firm then people are gonna haggle. I price the item 10% over what I want to sell for. Plan on knocking it off. You get what you asked, they feel like they got a good deal and “won”. Everyone happy. Simple.

    Blisters and Boots, bad fit or deal with it?

    I tried a couple different brands of stiff soled mountain boots before my first trip out west and hated them. I thought how in the heck do guys ever get used to that. Got a pair of salomon 4d and never looked back. On my second pair now. Light and comfortable and little to no break in time...

    Scent Control?

    Lol my only scent worries on a 10 day elk hunt is when my brother and I can’t stand to be in the tent with each other anymore. All the scent control measures in the world are thrown out the window a half hour into crawling over blowdown or climbing a 500 ft bluff. Just try to keep the wind in...

    85 grain broad head for elk

    I built arrows to elk hunt. 125 gr cut on contacts and a 500+ gr total weight and love them for whitetail. They’ll blow through a whitetail and it’s made me tons more confident. Shooting 70 lbs with my arrow setup I feel like I can’t pretty much piledrive deer with this setup. You won’t ever...

    I built a 4ft x 4ft target out of 1x2 and some osb a tarp and some plastic. Plans for it are on elk101. It works amazingly and it's big enough to confidently shoot at long distances and I've got about $30 in it.

    Hush. New low in the high country?

    I love the "fire bull" video. Sits in camp chair. Flings arrow at 90 yards. Gets 6 inches of penetration. Wouldn't you know it..sits in the same camo chair day or two later. Same bull. Same shot. Miracle. Flings arrow at 90 yards. Has to wait overnight to track. I would venture a guess that the...

    First Colorado OTC elk hunt.

    My hunt last year was during muzzy season as that's just when our schedule allowed. We heard one distant shot in a week. Go when you can go and have fun with it. Also I'm gonna go against the grain and say don't let everyone scare you with the fitness stuff. I let it scare me to death. I'm 35...

    First Colorado OTC elk hunt.

    Last year was my first trip to co. Expect big temp swings in sept. 70s and tshirt during the day. 30s and frost at night. Get good layers that you can shed easily. We took too much food. Just for me I don't think I would like a hammock. It's cold at night and seems like a tough way to stay warm...
