    Grinder Recommendation for Elk

    Very tempting for the savings so can't blame ya. Please post a follow up after you put it through a few paces/put a critter or two through it.

    Grinder Recommendation for Elk

    So took a look at LEM, signed up for their mailing list and sure enough they had a sale go live today so jumped at the opportunity for a 3/4 HP #12 Big Bite. Thank you all for the discussion and feedback, looking forward to putting a bull through to break it in.

    Grinder Recommendation for Elk

    I keep seeing lots of great responses for LEM so I'll probably keep an eye out for one of those (either 3/4 hp or maybe the 1 hp) and see if a labor day sale pops up. Thanks for the feedback!

    Grinder Recommendation for Elk

    Gearing up for archery season and I've been impressed by the Excalibur dehydrator I got a few months ago, getting some dehydrated meals prepped as I type this up. I noticed on their site they have a 1 HP commercial grinder on discount...

    Danner Vital didn't work out need to get new boots for archery elk.

    So update decided to give a few selections a try and ended up with the Crispi Nevada. Absolutely love the way they feel on my feet, took em on a half day hike and no issues whatsoever. Thanks everyone for the discussion!

    Upgrade current setup or get a spotter?

    Easier to work both eyes rather than just one?

    I've heard a ton of good things about crispi and a few places near me carry them. First time I've heard about Scarpa but I'll check em out.

    Danner Vital didn't work out need to get new boots for archery elk.

    I got a pair of Danner Vital in 12 wide for this year's archery season but got my feet pretty tore up on Dog mountain, Wa on a recent hike. I was getting some discomfort in the heel/achilles area on both feet on the way up but the descent was what really stood out in terms of troubles, toes...

    Upgrade current setup or get a spotter?

    Thank you so much for the feedback and thoughts! I agree the buy once cry once mentality is ideal but got a ways to go before I can realistically afford alpha glass levels. Took a deeper look at the Sigs and really liked what I was seeing and couldn't beat that price. I'm already looking at a...

    Upgrade current setup or get a spotter?

    With both of these deals might be able to swing the two of them. Think the 9's if I'll have the spotter or the 11s?

    Upgrade current setup or get a spotter?

    I'm looking for some input on a potential upgrade to my current setup for an Archery Elk hunt I'll be doing this fall in North Eastern Oregon. I got a drop camp setup for this year in an area with decent terrain and some open spaces to glass. Currently running a set of Maven C3 10x50's with the...

    FNG from Oregon

    Welcome to OR! I've been out here for about 3 years now and it's been a great place so far. You're not too far from me as I'm out in Beaverton. Done any hunts in OR yet?
