How well does past season sign translate to this season?
Check it and if there is fresh sign this year hunt it. I have found areas with old sign and no new. The area I hunt has depended on water since the area has been in a drought. Some years its been wetter then others so they will be in there then. Food, water, & cover. -

10+ Mile Days
Most spots we check out are 1-3 miles in. I dont want to go any deeper the that. If we are trying to find elk and we do 2-3 loops in the morning then 1-2 after lunch it can add up quick. There is lots of seeps and areas with good sign that we ddint find in an area until we made more sweeps. It... -

Pagosa Springs area hunting
I have hunted this unit a bit the last 10 years or so and the elk population in that time has dropped a lot. Calf recruitment is down around or below 30% which is real low. Elk numbers over all are low. We find elk sometimes but we havent seen herds in some time. If we see more than 5 in a... -

So How are you guys Locating Elk?
Some times they can be so close to the area you escout and its just a matter of going a little further one way or another on the side of the mountain.

(HELP) Get B.O. out of hunting clothes!
Try rubbing alcohol, the stronger the better. Let it soak over night. You have to kill the bacteria that is causing the odor. Works great on shoes and boots if you do it when they first start to smell.- Bearshirt

Welcome to Pyro Putty
A great diy fire starter is take a prescription bottle and fill it full of cotton balls with as much petroleum jelly smeared into them as you can. They will burn for 10 minutes. Cheap easy and light. I wrap some duct tape around the bottle too. I can get about 5 or 6 in a bottle. Also can be...- Bearshirt
