    Sciatica?

    Any of you guys deal with it? A few weeks back, I tweaked my lower back somehow. I never really stopped moving, just started walking instead of jogging and lifting lighter weights. The pain was nagging, but not unbearable by any means. Now my back is better, but I'm starting to get a little pain...

    Broken Bow Question

    We're going to Broken Bow at the end of the month for my birthday. We're staying at Beaver's Bend State Park. I've never been, so looking for ideas from people who have been there on places to eat, stuff to do, cool paces to check out, etc.

    Elk hunting setup

    So I recently got a new longbow, that's 45lbs at my draw length. I'm shooting an arrow that's really well tuned and weighs just over 500 grains. I have heavier bows, but I'm shooting this bow better than any bow I've ever had. If I limit my shots to under 25 yards max, is there any reason NOT to...

    2022 Z71 Tahoe

    Anybody have one? How do you like it? I'm thinking of trading my 2019 Chevy Trailboss for one...I only drive my truck on the weekends now, and drive a smaller vehicle back and forth to work. My wife drives my truck during the week because her work is only about a mile from home. Since we've been...

    Colorado GMU 81 Bear

    So I haven't been to Colorado since 2018. Last time I went was in 2018, and I found some pretty cool spots and saw some elk. This year, as most know I'm sure it's a draw unit. My brother put in for a muzzleloader elk tag and I put in for an either sex archery elk tag. But I figured since I was...

    Switching up practice routines

    I shoot groups in the backyard just like everyone else. But I like to switch it up sometimes too. The last few weeks I've been setting up 3 different targets in the backyard and just shooting one arrow at a time at different targets from different angles, distances, etc. I can only shoot about...

    Last minute advice?

    I will be headed to Colorado tomorrow for a 2 week hunt. Thing is, I've never been to Colorado!! I'm just nervous about the altitude and how the country and terrain will vary from East Texas where I live. I'm in good shape, have good boots, a good pack, GPS, map and compass, and I've hunted all...

    What State?

    If you were going to plan an archery hunt on public land for any state in 2019 for whitetail, what state would you pick? 2 weeks to hunt and would want a state where OTC tags are available. Particularly interested in Missouri, Indiana, and Kentucky but open to other suggestions. For the record...

    What to expect?

    So this September I'm going to Colorado for my first ever elk hunt with a few friends. We'll be in unit 81. I applied for a mule deer tag not really expecting to get drawn, but I did. So I'm pretty excited. With that said, what are the mule deer numbers like in 81 for you guys that have hunted...

    Havalon Piranta

    I have a Havalon that I've skinned a lot of deer, pigs and exotics with. I'm thinking on just taking it on my elk hunt along with a Leatherman, but wondering if it may not be a little small. Any of you guys regularly skin elk with JUST a Havalon or do you take some other sort of knife too?

    Help me decide...

    So this fall I'll be going on my first elk hunt. We're gonna hunt from a base camp, and I was thinking of just using my normal hunting backpack with all my gear in it while hunting. But, buying a separate freight hauler type pack frame and leaving it at camp. Then if/when I need it, going back...

    Colorado question.

    Ok, first off I'm a new guy. With that said, I promise I'll stick around and be a part (hopefully productive part) of the forum. I've lurked for a long time. Myself and a few buddies will be elk hunting in Unit 81 in Colorado this year. I'm not even gonna ask about where to hunt because I'm not...
