Tundra Camp Site Question
My question for you Alaska experienced veterans is this. How do you pick a good camping site in the middle of the tundra? I am doing a 3 man caribou DIY hunt out of Kotzebue in unit 23 starting the 1st of Sept. Our flight service uses tundra wheels so I figure the landing zone will likely be... -

Old Man and Alaska Caribou
Started looking last year at an Alaskan caribou hunt and at 72 yrs. old some questions pop up that probably don't pertain to the younger guys. My balance is not as good as it used to be so I am leery of what I hear about walking on tussocks in tundra country. I will only be able to afford a Diy... -

In All Seriousness
Thanks fellas to all who chimed in on my facetious thread "Money Tree". Allow an old bowhunter to share with you young guys(an older) about how important it is to just enjoy this thing we call HUNTING. The recent passing of Dwight Schuh and Big Dan Moore was like being hit in the face with ice... -
Money Tree
Thank God I have a money tree in my backyard. Getting ready for my Sept. Colorado elk hunt and not chasing them since 1998, I found I was way behind the times on all the gear needed to bring me into the 21st century. Kuiu pack frame, 3200 bag, L/XL suspension***$500, assorted elk calls, decoy... -
Smoke Wind Detectors
Anybody use the Cirrus Vape Smoke wind direction or the Code Blue Smoke for figuring when the thermals start to change? Look more promising than the powder system I use. -
An Elk's Vision
I remember 23 years ago blowing a shot opportunity on an 8x7 bull because I made a small movement while he was 60 yds. away coming to me. I know they have great eyesight and easily spooked by movement. My question is do you like to set up in front of cover, behind some cover, or what, if you... -

Quiet Camp in the Backcountry?
Question for you non solo backpack elk hunters. Do you make normal conversation with your buddies in your spike camps or is everything pretty much a whisper. I am so stinking hard of hearing and my deep voice is louder than normal my wife says. Don't want to blow all our elk into the next county. -
Cow Elk Urine
Anybody use cow elk urine in their calling setups? Was wondering if it might catch a bull's attention before he gets downwind of you? -
Groups of 3
On our upcoming elk hunt Sept 4-14th we will spike camp in the backcountry in (2)sets of 3 man groups hunting different areas. Never hunted more than 2 hunters before. To you elk veterans give me advice on setups. Do we have 2 shooters and one caller in an inverted triangle with the caller in... -
Elk decoy additions
Those of you that use elk decoys, do you add things to the ears or rump that moves in the breeze to give more animation to the decoy? I know in my whitetail decoy i add stuff that gives movement and seems to work very well. -
Colorado Confused
Will be elk hunting in Unit 55 for elk this Sept. My son is worried his 71 yr. old Dad needs a chaperone and was wondering about picking up an archery bear license. The regs confuse me(not hard these days). When bear licenses with caps go on sale in August can he pick one up and be able to hunt... -
How would You?
Okay fellas, let's pick your brains. This year there are 6 of us doing an archery elk hunt in Colorado in a Limited Entry unit. 2 of us are experienced elk hunters and 4 are not. Do we split up in groups of 3 with an experienced hunter per group and have 1 caller and 2 shooters or do we split up... -

I am 6'6" and 260 lbs. and will be doing several 1-2 day backpack overnighters from base camp. I am 71 yrs. old and really need a good nights sleep to keep up with my younger hunting...- Kerrbow
