Talk me out of, or into a canoe
Buy it. I made one trip to the BWCA in '22 with my son and trying to get back this summer. I loved it way more than I anticipated. Canoe travel/camping is awesome. I will just have to rent one again this summer if we go. Would love to find a way to incorporate into a canoe hunt...to sneak...- bz_711

Feedback on backcountry elk loadout
If he has done this then great...otherwise I would never recommend 2 guys planning for a 7mile packout of a bull elk (2 trips minimum depending on camp). Good Luck! -
Feedback on backcountry elk loadout
Have you or your buddy packed out a dead bull before? If yes, how far and how many trips? -

Arrows
I've never worried about FOC. I start with broadhead I like...then work the the arrow back from there...since 100gr heads are so prevalent I've always shot them. You could get 260 and 300 to fly good out of most bows with a little tinkering. I have 70lb bow, 300 arrows, 100gr head with 50gr... -
Thoughts on purchasing hunting land in CO
Depends what you want. I like the idea of LPP tags if possible. But with a family I'd highly recommend having water on the property. We have 2 small parcels of hunting ground - which has been great to get my kids their first deer on...but the majority of our memories are on the 8 acre lake we... -
Value of Old Intel
Why did they quit hunting it? Do they know anybody that has had boots on the ground the last 5yrs? -

Congrats! And welcome to the club! I agree - this site is great and was a huge resource as I chased my first punched tag... -
Elk in heavy recreational traffic areas
You still have to find the freshest sign that was made during daylight hours...tracks/sign in these areas could be 100% dark time - so be careful. But any fresh sign is a good start and take it from there to find their first/last light activity areas. Personally - I don't like crowded spots... -

CO 2023 Estimated Harvest is up
It seems most agree...a different/better process should be in place being 2024. Overall I'm more concerned with wolves and the big cat vote...I just want to be hunt elk with my kids and grandkids 20-30 yrs from now. -
Point weight vs insert weight… which is more beneficial?
I do 100 head / 50 inserts on my compound arrows primarily because I have a particular 100gr head I like and have been successful with. Good Luck!- bz_711

The great sock debate 2024
I bought 4 pair of Cabelas Merino wool hunting/hiking socks (100% guaranteed for life) in 2010...I've worn them every season since (granted only 1 week hunt) and train with them a couple months in the summer...I've yet to replace one of the pairs. Super impressed! -
Day hunting out of the truck?
I tell all first timers...don't even waste a second considering backpack hunting your first trip (unless you regularly have spent time backpacking all over the mountains). It's just too much to add on top of an already physically and logistically challenging first hunt. Set a nice camp...and... -
I need to learn to bugle and cow call before September
Open a podcast app and search Elknut...every time Paul is on a podcast he delivers...both him and Chris Roe (his older stuff) are top of my list for education. Like most things...even knowing a little can go a long way in the woods. Just like turkey hunting, you don't have to sound like a...
