    We are up to 4 points this year and in no mans land.

    Rutting Bull vs onlookers in CO

    Love the chivalry of those manbuns watching her being gored. On another note, alligators will bite you and so will sharks when you are in their domain.

    I'm an addict

    We took Diamox that our doctor gave us prior to heading out west. We started taking it to get it in our systems to help with AMS. We never had any symptoms and we camped around 8800 feet and hunted as high as 11,000.

    Wife got it done today

    That is awesome. My wife has been my hunting partner for almost 25 years now. A couple of elk, loads of whitetails and even a few gators. She is a trooper.

    What would you do: Kill elk with wounded leg on border of private property?

    Not to do what again? Question yourself over shooting a game animal that you had a tag for? I'm not certain I see the issue here.

    .

    As an alligator hunter here in Florida, when the Swamp People craze hit, it was crazy. People everywhere, not knowing what they are doing. It wears off in time and like elk hunting, it takes years of experience to know what to do and when to do it. This was our 2nd year elk hunting and we are...

    Uncommon Ground - An Arizona Wilderness Elk Hunting film

    I saw this when he was releasing the day by day hunts in You Tube. Exhilarating to see this and know that people of Randy's fortitude with regards to public land conservation, can express a message through a short film like this. Bravo sir and two blizzards fro you!

    E-scouting for public land bull elk

    I hunt alligators here in Florida. Been doing it a long time. It is not what you see on TV from Louisiana. In Florida, its a whole different set of rules, including not using rifles or baiting hooks. TV shows and Youtube does bring a lot of fad hunters out, but I consistently take alligators...

    Need recipe for elk tenderloins

    Bruce, I might eat the plate when done with something that looks as good as that! Good job! I think you could fry a flip flop from a porta a potty in bacon grease and make it taste good.

    E-scouting for public land bull elk

    Adam you can show a lot of people a spot on a map and that doesn't mean they will get there. I'm sure that as you already know, a lot of people don't have the intestinal fortitude to go in to those deep dark holes. On my first elk hunt last year in Colorado, we had 500,000 acres to figure out in...

    Backcountry rifle weight?

    I weighed my fully loaded Ruger M77 Mark 2 with a Leopold VX3 3.5x10x50 and I'm at 9.4 pounds. I put a Hogue overmolded full bed block stock on it and it changed the weight by 2 ounces but the accuracy went up. We only have a couple of weeks to chase elk so I will grin and grunt.

    Starting my 2018 Season off

    That's awesome. We spent a week in elk country last year and can't wait to get back. It is already 140,000 degrees here in Florida and the humidity is 200,000% at 5 AM. Hard to get anything done outside .

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    Ironic as it is, but I had nothing to do with the past and those that live like it will never learn to appreciate the present or future. I treat everyone with respect, regardless of their race or ancestry. All I asked for was for them to be honest, which they haven't been. I would just rather...

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    I am only posting this as a warning to others who may try this in the future. We called the Inn of the Mountain Gods Big Game Hunt people and asked a specific question, "will the drawing results be available prior to April 3rd?" We were told the drawing would be on March 19th and we could call...

    The 14 Yard Shot!

    Great stuff Paul and congratulations to both of you. Me and the wife are going to be making our second trip out west this year after we got hooked last year. Got close enough to be barked at and had a bull cut us off a couple of times one afternoon. Man what a rush!

    First DIY Western Elk Hunt... Tell Me Your Story

    Very similar to what others have said here. It was a goal of mine to do this before I turned 50. Myself and the wife exercised for almost a year leading up to this hunt. I was dead set on a bow hunt, not because I won't use a gun but I don't want to deal with three feet of snow. We read every...

    Wyoming Elk...who's applying? Increased cost changing your plans?

    WE each have 2 points and will likely use the 2nd choice for a cow only hunt in a unit TBD. We are primarily bow hunters but will definitely use a rifle for elk if needed. The money isn't an issue so much for the cow elk prices. Considering the drive of over 30 hours each way and all other gear...

    Incline treadmill

    Never tried the sprints, will give it a go. We have the plyometric boxes that I built. I typically alternate the treadmill without my pack, I was told the additional weight is bad for the motor, and the boxes with my pack on. Thanks guys.

    Incline treadmill

    We have a 15% incline treadmill and I normally max it out for my walks for about 2 miles at a time. This take me around 40 minutes. I was looking to further the incline by adding wood underneath the front of the unit to give more incline. Has anyone tried this and what were the results?
