    Elk arrow setup

    Shooting an Evolve 35, #70 limbs cranked down to #60. Current arrow is a GT Velocity 340, 28" with 125gr point giving me 430gr. This is my 3D and summer target setup so far. I'm debating between slick trick mags with my current poundage and arrow, or buying some Velocity 300, adding another...

    Looking for ideas for stops on family vacation

    Family of six, three girls and one boy (girl 11, girl 6, boy 4, girl 2). We took the kids to Disney world for each of the oldest girls 5th birthdays. My son turns 5 next year. Instead of Disney we are going to take a Griswold tour of the Midwest and the western States, 10 to 12 days. My wife...

    Small tarp

    I've read some recommendations to take a small tarp in the day pack on early season elk hunt. I will be hunting out of a spike camp. I see merit in a small light tarp for rain showers and midday sun and naps. What are your thoughts and experience? And recommendations for an affordable small...

    Hauling meat home

    Getting ready for the CO archery opener. Need a plan for getting meat the 14 hours back home. I have plenty of coolers but having to haul a bunch of empty coolers out and leave them locked up in my truck (tempting possible theft) sucks. A friend said to run to town and buy a small deep freeze...

    GPS android apps

    In lieu of buying a new Garmin GPS I was considering purchasing an Android GPS app. Has anyone done this with success? If so what app did you use? I found Gaia GPS, but haven't spent the $20 yet. I'm heading to CO this fall and will have a map and compass but I am considering a GPS as a parallel...

    Crossing rivers and streams in the Backcountry

    I will preface this question by saying although this may seem like a silly question to westerners, this question comes from a midwest guy. In my woods I wear knee high rubber boots on most hunts. If I'm going in the river I have chest waders on. Either way my feet (should be) dry after...

    Finding a top of the line bow shop

    I have been listening to the Gritty Bowmen and also John Dudley and Joe Rogan podcasts. They all are always raving about the bowshops they frequent and all of the technology they use and all the details they go through to get their bows shooting as good as possible. I haven't found that level of...

    Salomon Speedcross 4

    I have been looking for new running shoe. I run mostly on pavement but would like to incorporate some trails. I read a lot of good things about the Speedcross 4 (and 3s). I have a wide foot, measured as a 9.5 EEE. I typically have to buy larger tennis shoes 10.5-11. I recently purchased some...

    New rain gear

    I'm a Midwest flatlander heading to CO for an archery elk hunt this year. I do not have a good, lite package set of rain gear. I am looking for some feedback on value for price. Most of my whitetail hunts dont happen in a downpour, I just call it, which I can't do on the mountain. My exsiting...
