    Dawn and dusk....sit and wait?.?.?

    Yes. Rifle second or third season. No rut. Public land. High pressure. Rocks or trees that are overlooking large movement or specific movement. Usually have as many as 3 to 8 hunters spread out at several points across known movement routes. Usually one of the group finds elk every day. The...

    Dawn and dusk....sit and wait?.?.?

    All of the passed down wisdom from one side of the family is that you get up early (4:00 am) and jam breakfast. Get on the trail by headlamp by 4:30 and hike by headlamp the first mile at a good pace. Then start to slow it down at 5:00 am for the second mile. Then turn off the headlamp at...

    Forum and PM alerts

    It would be nice if upon log in we had a place that alerted you if you had a New PM. Also in the forum it would be nice if upon log in you could see a list of posts you are following (meaning that you have posted in). Right now I have to go crawling around in the forums remembering which ones...

    supplements

    Get rid of alcohol. Reduce percentage of calories of fat to around 20%. Get protein to 200 grams per day of protein (whey protein helps - but try to get it from beans, game meat, chicken and fish). Increase fiber intake to over 50 grams per day (Kellogs All Bran Buds help). Increase work outs...

    Does elk meat make others fart more?

    Hahah. Okay. Funny post I guess. Sorry to bring the age down a bit. But I have to admit that I have always thought I should ask a doc.....based off everyone posts....Might be a good idea!

    Does elk meat make others fart more?

    The meat was meticulously handled and has no game meat flavor. It is truly wonderful. So I am not worried about bacterial contamination. However it reiterates the fact that we all need to be crazy careful with caring for the carcas. That said....you give me a cracker and I will pass gas....so...

    Should I be trying to find private land to hunt on?

    I have been hunting public lands in the Gunnison, CO area for my entire hunting life. Always see elk, or hear elk or kill elk. As a youngster most of the killing was done by our fathers...but now I am entering my prime. Would I enjoy private more? Should I be focused on pulling a strategy...

    Quarter or De Bone?

    Discovered what NOT TO DO OCTOBER 2011. Gutted - skinned - halved - hog tied to a log - shouldered and carried by 2 people up 1000 ft elevation about a mile + entire head with 6x6 rack + entire hide. Then back for the second half. However, now I own an external frame pack specifically for...

    What appeals to you more?

    Can I pick option 1 and 3? Gosh...I would say I am comfortable solo (providing the I know the area really well - scouting prep) but I am far from accomplished....very far. However, I have enough wisdom from my experience and mentors to be gutsy enough to mentor someone right now - maybe it is...

    How to actually go to events? Do I need tickets?

    How do I get started with MORE hunting?

    How do I go about harvesting all year??? I have a two 7 mm Mag Rifles, 1 tight choke 12 gauge shot gun, and one single shot .22 Long rifle. I am an avid rock climber and mountaineer and there is not much in the mountains I cannot do or have not done. I find God and Jesus in the high country...
