    Archery newb. Colorado OTC adventures

    Congrats on a great trip. You're right finding elk and having an opportunity is all you can ask for in Colorado and it does happen. Now you will likely go the next two years without seeing an elk and be surrounded by guys. Then your tune of Colorado OTC change.

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    The solution is very simple, just limit the number of hunters in the woods. It's not complicated. The state has to prioritize residents first and strictly limit the number of NR. This coming from a NR. IMO, the biology of elk makes it so the goal should be quality over quantity. Not sure...

    Worst spike camp locations

    We did that once. Got in late to a new spot and camped on an existing spot just about dark. Proceed to hear bugles and get barked at all night. After our morning hunt it became pretty obvious that we camped right in the middle of the drainage the elk were using to go up and down the...

    Federal judge sides with hunters

    This is great news. It's a huge step in the right direction for public land.

    Matt Rinella for president

    I work in a non-hunting dominated industry. I'm literally the only one who units and sometimes I'm looked at like I'm some kind of weird alien. Point being not a single 1 of them have any idea what you guys are talking about and have never heard of any of these influencers.

    MeatEater season 11 drops 10/26 but only on their site

    lmao..... The show was fine. It's free. No ads. And still, you guys complain.... haha Short of taking you with him is there anything the guy can do right? The only bummer with it not being on Netflix is the fact they will lose a rather large non hunter audience they had. I don't...

    But... You don't understand!

    Yikes, The friends I hunt with have no issue calling each other out for being a puss. In fact, a good hard slap wouldn't be out of the questions if you were home sick after 90 minutes and demanding to go home.

    The customer is always wrong?

    I will confirm you can kill an elk with a SWARO Z3. I've seen me do it. Everything else I agree with your guide.

    Wyoming special draw increase ...

    We all know there is an all-out war on Non Resident elk hunters. Something is going to be done in every state to significantly reduce our numbers over the next few years. In an idea world it would be by the luck of the draw not your financial situation.

    Real elk hunting!

    I understand what the OP is saying. Normal Elk hunt. Look for fresh sign, work the mountain, maybe even try to call one in. Colorado OTC hunt. Drive around and look for a trailhead jammed full of cars. You know there are ELK in the area once you find that. Bomb on into the group and...

    Michigan Elk

    I drew a tag 5 years ago. Probably saw over 100 elk in 2 days. It almost 100% success rate. It's an awesome hunt. That being said 1X cow is the toughest hunt and the only one where DIYers do run the chance of not finding elk. They group up real tight in September and can be a little hard...

    What time of day are most of your shots on Elk?

    First couple hours of daylight. The whole midday thing is made up by youtubers. Helps the rest of us know who the new guys are.

    After the pack out

    It would be awful hard to keep it in a cooler long term. Obviously, all of this is weather dependent. If it's hot you almost have to take it in. We tried leaving meat in a cooler on an 80 degree day. Both Yeti's had as much ice in them as we could fit. By the next afternoon all of the ice...
