I went opening week. First time I've ever been on opening weekend. Our experience was different than most I'm reading. We hunt high, like 10-11.5. they were bugling and using Meadows from Saturday to Wednesday when the weather changed. After that they got a little more scarce. But never went a...
Thanks guys. Pretty deep up in the area I am wanting to go from what I can gather. Now I am wondering if I will get to fish my favorite high mountain lake while I am there.
I guess I am going to bring this topic back up with my 2 cents.
Im with the group that when Aron stopped making a showing on Gritty I became disinterested. Brian rambles too much and pretty much just likes listening to himself talk. I am not sure what happened between him and Snyder. I remember...
Hey guys we are two weeks away from family vacation in central Colorado. Where we camp is a few hours from where I elk hunt and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what elevation some of the jeep passes are passable as of now. The road I take up to the area I hunt is high and I park near...
BHA has become Backcountry Hikers and adventurers. Their refusal to speak up about many issues that are important to hunters is very telling. From Public land trapping under attack to Wolf reintroduction. I find sportsmans alliance to be much more on par with what I hold dear.
We saw elk.
Day one had a bull at a water hole as I approached it.
Day two herd bull and 5 cows
Day three called in two young non legal bulls and had several others skirt our call set ups in the timber out at 50/60 yards. Amazing how such a large animal can be so quiet and elusive in such thick...
Horse shoes and hand grenades. Elk at 10 yards. Blah blah blah.
Totally different animal than I had last year. Last year they were vocal and using meadows. Large herds where they should be. This year quiet elusive animal. Heard a few mid day bugles day 1. Had 1 grunt at me day 3. Few after dark...
Being that the 5mm is a small diameter arrow is there a particular jig I should use installing new blazer veins?
Also this is probably a loaded question but what is the beat glue? The stuff I had prior was not great.
1. You have to be in shape and ready. Mentally and physically. If you are not at this point getting there in that short of time would be tough.
2. 4-5 days of boots on the ground is not very long not knowing the country.
3. There are some great gear list for backpack elk hunting on this forum...
My condolences. You're doing the right thing by going alone your friend sounds like anyone of us and we'd want our hunting partner to go and give it hell.
Prayers up for you and all the families lose.
Becareful and good luck
There are two ways to own vehicles.
1. Buy new trade at 100, 150k miles.
2. Buy used below 50k miles drive an till the wheels fall of, reattach the wheels and drive em till the axles fall off.
In your situation I would think new is the way to go.
If you go with Chevy, make sure and check that...
