    Elk unit 66 or 39 Colorado

    The elk and deer are there, (not plentiful like michaema2 said), but you'll earn every one you get and more than likely you'll have the wrong tag in hand when you see them, it just seems to work that way in 39!

    Skinny Foot / High Arch / Plantar Fasciitis - What Boot?

    Find yourself a good pedorthist and have a pair of custom orthotics made. Yes they are expensive, but when you wear them every day they make a world of difference. Hunters will spend hundreds of dollars on all kinds of gear they use occasionally, but are unwilling to purchase something that will...

    Suggestions for New Elk Hunting Packs

    H Had my Gen I Late Season not been stolen out of my truck last year I would never have had to replace it and it was 23 years old!

    If I go , I'll get an over the counter tag, if I don't draw. Missed all of this season due to new job. Hopefully I'll be at it this coming fall!

    Boots for Flat Feet

    Look for a boot with a straight last (I wear the ASOLO Powermatic 200 Gv EGo) and get yourself some really good arch supports.

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    I'll quote Manfred Von Richthofen (The Red Baron) as it pertains to the equipment necessary to be successful,"The quality of the box matters little. Success depends upon the man who sits in it." Ergo it really comes down to the shooter; their shooting ability, their ethics, their preparation...

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    I am not getting the bad angle, far distance argument. Just don't shoot. Are we as hunter so consumed with filling our freezer that we convince ourselves that taking a marginal shot is ok, rationalizing that the wolves/bears/ coyotes will clean it up if we do a poor job on our end? Just don't shoot!

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    Super Tag, Have you seen the Wayne Van Zwoll video where he shoots a bull elk at 603 yards with a Hornaday 129 grain SST and gets complete penetration? It might change your opinion of the capability and penetration of a 6.5MM projectile. I will have to side with mxgsfmdpx on this one!

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    I have shot exactly one elk with the Creedmor's Swedish cousin. 200 yards with a 140 grain Core-Lokt bullet. One shot in it's bed and it never twitched, walked up to a very dead elk. One is not a great sample size but it's enough for me to not question the 6.5's effectiveness.
