    Elk arrow setup

    Shooting an Evolve 35, #70 limbs cranked down to #60. Current arrow is a GT Velocity 340, 28" with 125gr point giving me 430gr. This is my 3D and summer target setup so far. I'm debating between slick trick mags with my current poundage and arrow, or buying some Velocity 300, adding another...

    Looking for ideas for stops on family vacation

    This was recommended by a friend but it was a little pricey. I'm open to suggestions.

    Looking for ideas for stops on family vacation

    Family of six, three girls and one boy (girl 11, girl 6, boy 4, girl 2). We took the kids to Disney world for each of the oldest girls 5th birthdays. My son turns 5 next year. Instead of Disney we are going to take a Griswold tour of the Midwest and the western States, 10 to 12 days. My wife...

    Small tarp

    I've read some recommendations to take a small tarp in the day pack on early season elk hunt. I will be hunting out of a spike camp. I see merit in a small light tarp for rain showers and midday sun and naps. What are your thoughts and experience? And recommendations for an affordable small...

    Hauling meat home

    Getting ready for the CO archery opener. Need a plan for getting meat the 14 hours back home. I have plenty of coolers but having to haul a bunch of empty coolers out and leave them locked up in my truck (tempting possible theft) sucks. A friend said to run to town and buy a small deep freeze...

    2X Archery lens.... legal in Colorado?

    Not to derail your thread but I'm interested in your setup. I am headed to CO for my first elk hunt this year. I currently shoot a multi pin sight but I just picked up an axel accutouch single pin. I'm on the fence on wether it would be a bad idea to throw it on for the hunt, or if I should wait...

    What kind of hunt for dad?

    I don't have insightful advice but kuddos on the hunt with your dad. I got an opportunity at two of my bucket list hunts this year, CO archery elk and Canada waterfowl. I choose elk because I'm making the trip with my dad. We are going DIY, and got invited into a friends camp. I'm nervous...

    GPS android apps

    I would have to test it, but generally speaking my phone is 1.5 year old Note 5 and the battery life sucks. I plan to change the battery out before I go and I also plan to pack an external battery bank to hopefully last me the 6 days in the woods. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using Tapatalk

    GPS android apps

    In lieu of buying a new Garmin GPS I was considering purchasing an Android GPS app. Has anyone done this with success? If so what app did you use? I found Gaia GPS, but haven't spent the $20 yet. I'm heading to CO this fall and will have a map and compass but I am considering a GPS as a parallel...

    Crossing rivers and streams in the Backcountry

    I will preface this question by saying although this may seem like a silly question to westerners, this question comes from a midwest guy. In my woods I wear knee high rubber boots on most hunts. If I'm going in the river I have chest waders on. Either way my feet (should be) dry after...

    Finding a top of the line bow shop

    I have a bowmaster press and I have been twisting strings and cables on my bow for years now. I installed a 60x string the year before last and was able to tune it back up myself. I recently switched the a hamskea hybrid pro and have been fighting a high tear, and I am about at my whits end. I...

    The bow has to shoot for me not the tech at the pro shop.

    Finding a top of the line bow shop

    I have been listening to the Gritty Bowmen and also John Dudley and Joe Rogan podcasts. They all are always raving about the bowshops they frequent and all of the technology they use and all the details they go through to get their bows shooting as good as possible. I haven't found that level of...

    New rain gear

    Based on some feedback from you guys I sought out a hiking brand vs a hunting brand. I picked up a North Face Venture at a good (last season) price. Dark color, good fit, but loud crinkle noise. I still have time to send it back... To the guys that are paying $250+ for a sitka, kuiu, FL high...
