Hardcore Tree Stand Hunting Too

Some times it takes me awhile to get an elk from a stand. On several years I have used almost all of my season waiting in a stand before I finally got one or just ran out of time. One season I averaged ten hours per day in my stand and never missed a single day of the 30 day season. Crazier...

Tree Stand Hunting Elk

It's early June and we have nearly three months to go before we can hunt elk, so lets have a respectful and friendly discussion. I believe tree stand hunting in archery season is the single most effective means for most hunters to legally shoot elk on public land. With a good location, stand...

Bad Elk

Midday Hunting

Many archery hunters have longs days in the field. Often those long days in the high country on steep slopes bring on fatigue and the need for more rest than you get in your sleeping bag. Tired hunters find the middle of the day, when elk are bedded, to be a good time to catch up on some much...

Why?

Why do some hunters kill elk almost every year, while others rarely do? When I was a kid I killed far more deer than my dad and brother. It actually became embarrsing. My skill and equipment was no better than theirs. Mom thought I had a lucky gun. I hunt with guys that kill elk every year...
