    Midday Hunting

    I think a lot of different tactics can lead to a successful midday hunt. Sitting on a water hole or wallow always has the possibility of producing elk. Something I tried last year was just doing several calling set ups on a north facing slope that holds elk. I would call on and off for about...

    trad bow shooting tip

    Rod, I like your point. I also agree with Broken Arrow. I think shooting one arrow at a time allows you to mentally reset and fully concentrate on your next shot. Something that I'm going to work into my shooting more towards hunting season is shooting each shot from a different distance and...

    Training for the upcoming hunting season! What motivates you?

    Just the thought of hunting in general. There is always something gearing around in my head about hunting and how am I going to be the best I can be if I'm not at top condition? When my 4th, 5th, and 6th set of squats or deadlifts get tough, I think to myself about that bull over the ridge that...

    Non running guys, what are your workouts to prepare for the mountains?

    I do interval sprints and hike hills with a pack for cardio. I'd like to try some Crossfit and more backpacking this summer. I also lift for about an hour and a half a day, really hitting it hard with free weights. I found this past year that having my legs in shape from big, bodybuilding type...

    Recurve newbie

    As far as a bow on a budget, 3 Rivers Archery told me that Samick makes great bows for someone interested in trying it out. They've got bows from something like $130 all the way up and you can also switch out to heavier limbs as you get stronger. I've also heard of checking out classifieds on...

    Bucklite Knives

    Have you guys heard of Kestrel knives? To pricey for me but some might be interested in them. I believe the guy worked with Jason Hairston (Kuiu) to develop them. I believe they've got a skeleton knife coming in at .59 ounces with their lightest sheath. http://www.kestrelknives.com/products/...

    Scouting a new area... what to look for?

    They'll probably have moved lower from where you will see them this summer, but you never know, elk can be found rutting above timberline in most every western state. I'm guessing you have read Cameron Hane's book. He likes to spot and stalk that country and his bulls have looked to be killed in...

    Scouting a new area... what to look for?

    Scour Google Earth for areas that are quite a bit greener than others as that will help locate seeps/small ponds for potential water and wallows. I've also found topo maps to be very useful for this. Locate the head waters of creeks and also scout the areas above this for small seeps and it will...
