    Idaho draw

    #2600 in line online and my options A, B, C, and D were all out. Good to know about the in person option, but might hunt a different state next year.

    Non resident Archery elk

    Maybe start reading here: https://www.backcountrychronicles.com/choose-elk-unit/ But also, I've heard some of the best elk hunting in North America is actually east BC/west Alberta so you may not even have to cross the border.

    Moving to Seattle

    Some of my favorite hunting memories are scrambling around the east side of the glacier peak wilderness, spectacular scenery, and the only person I saw past the trailhead was a fighter jet that dipped below the ridgeline. Got skunked that trip and ended up taking a muley out of entiat though.

    Moving to Seattle

    WDFW gets access to some land every year on SJI and Orcas - my buddy has a story about honking to get some does out of the parking spot and shooting a 3 point buck coming in for the does 10 minutes later. 20 yards from the truck. All the other deer were shocked. Sorry to hear about the...

    Does anyone in the Denver area want to link up for archery or a beer? Im looking for a back country hunting buddy.

    I'm moving there in a month. Have an archery elk and 2nd rifle deer tag. Have taken some game (1 spike, 2 bucks) but still learning. Hike and backpack a fair amount here in WA.

    Moving to Seattle

    Bear hunting is supposed to be pretty good. Lots of grouse if you know where to look in the cascades. If you want an easy, sure thing archery hunt, drive up, park, and shoot a blacktail in the san juans - they're overrun. Elk is hard - there are some healthy herds on the coast, but the jungle is...

    Best light hunting arrow for elk

    Black Eagle Carnivores get me to 21% FOC with 455 grain finished arrow weight (27" 350 shaft, 100 gr insert, 125 gr broadhead). Good balance of speed and trajectory for me, doesn't break the bank. Only drawback has been that it buries into the bag targets at the range.

    Where do you carry your pistol?

    My IWB concealed carry holster actually clips right into my regular pants pocket and it's the perfect height to draw, almost like a tactical drop leg holster. Doesn't interfere with a pack either.

    For those who had COVID…

    Buddy of mine got it twice, first time he lost taste for a few weeks in addition to feeling weak and respiratory symptoms, no heart issues, the second time now he's short of breath more easily and higher heart rate (3 or 4 months post). Middle aged (50+) dude who likes eating so higher risk.

    Anybody rucking?

    Superfeet insoles, merino (smartwool or darn tough) socks, and crank those hipstraps and loosen your shoulder straps so more weight transfers to your hips. Got me through my military service. You'll want to tighten the shoulders when bushwacking off trail or scrambling though. Stop and treat...

    Good Gas Mileage Hunting Vehicle

    My first hunting vehicle was a subie forester which got 22 - 26, bought for $4k, a deer carcass fit in the back tray, was unstoppable off road (light and scampered over everything).
