    What state for guided elk hunt?

    He has used Story Cattle Company three out of the last four years. They only let you shoot 6x6 bulls there. He has also been to Rising Son Outfitters and got a nice 5x5.

    Would a side arm be necessary? Also what caliber?

    I carry a 9mm and had an XDS 45 I would take hunting. My brother just got stationed in Alaska so it gave me an excuse to buy a 10mm XDM. It is an incredibly fun gun to shoot. There are a lot of black bears in CO. Just trying to help give you an excuse to get a 10mm lol.

    Thanks for sharing. Honest mistakes happen and you did everything right to try and correct it. Hopefully others will learn from your mistake now too.

    Montana VS Colorado Idaho. General units

    Seems like Colorado you have to deal with more hunters because of the OTC tags, but MT you have to deal with private land owners and guides herding the elk to keep them on their land and making it harder for those hunting on public land. Don’t turn in your tag though. MT is a great state to elk...

    CO unit 62 1st season advice

    It is a fun unit. It can be very busy with hunters though. Seems like Love Mesa and Kelso creek area are pretty popular and get a lot of success. I hunt 2nd rifle in 62 and feel like we have more success by paying attention to where all the hunting pressure is and trying to get away from it. I’m...

    What state for guided elk hunt?

    My father-in-law goes on a guided elk hunt in MT every year for about $5,000 and has filled his tag every year with very nice bulls. He has used several different outfitters and has returned to the same ones before too. There are lots of good outfitters to choose from in MT.

    First elk hunt

    A full moon has always hampered my hunts. Cover more ground and go where no one else wants to because that is where the elk want to go too. I have found elk in very low elevation when I didn’t think they should be there at all. Elk do weird things when they are pressured by other hunters. Go...

    Archery hunt in full camo? Or solid color ok?

    The quality of the clothing and its ability to hold up to harsh hunting conditions is more important than any camo pattern. Wear something that works for you and the conditions you hunt in whether it is a camo pattern or solid and pay attention to the wind.

    Father’s Day gift elk hunting under $500

    I’m going to get my father-in-law a SpotX gps. He hunts solo a lot and has had a knee replacement and his wife worries he’ll have a bad fall when out by himself. Not sure if your dad needs it might be something he doesn’t already have. Reloading equipment, Seek Outside LBO or Cimarron, Crispi...

    The Truth about OTC in CO

    Thanks for the video. I remember my first 2nd rifle OTC CO hunt over 12 years ago and I had to laugh at some of the similarities. My pack into our spike camp had to be 80+lbs easy. It was amazing how much I learned after that first season of what I really don’t need. I do slightly disagree on...

    What was your CO Elk Draw Result?

    My results were more points, but am happy to get an OTC bull tag and a bear tag when available. However, my brothers and a family friend all drew mule deer buck tags and two cow elk tags. Our annual 2nd rifle CO hunt should be interesting with 3 buck tags, 2 cow tags, 2 bull tags and hopefully 4...
