Hunting heavily forested areas
First, find suitable elk country and fresh sign. I've found that finding where the elk are currently at is sometimes the most difficult part of the hunt. Once you find them then use optics (if feasible) and spot & stalk or cover lots of ground while hitting your elk calls once in a while to... -
Which blade steel?
I own s30v, m4, and s90v. My dedicated skinning knife is in s90v due to edge retention. My overall outdoors/hunting knife is s30v because its less rigid than s90v but still holds its edge well (I accidentally snapped the edge of s90v last year because of its extra strength/hardness). I like m4... -
Tikka t3x Light vs Superlight what's the differance?
Very minor weight savings with the Super lite. If you like the looks of the fluted barrel and are willing to pay the extra price then go for it. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed in whichever route you decide to go. -
Elk Shot Placement - Which Shots Would You Take?
Visualize where the vitals are before you shoot and place your cross-hairs appropriately. For elk I prefer a tough bullet in the event I need to punch through bone. I’ve had great success with Barnes TTSX and LRX. Meat loss is the last thing on my mind when I’ve been busting my butt in elk... -
What caliber
Ditto on responses to keep the 30-06. However, i understand the desire to upgrade rifles and gear. I assume most people on this forum upgrade gear frequently.

Blaze orange vest options cheap vs kuiu/sitka
I have the Sitka vest and I appreciate the pockets and versatility of the vest. It’s at home during rifle season or while upland bird hunting. -
New spotter?
Cabela’s Instinct Euro HD scope is made by Meopta and is the same build, glass, and lens coatings as the S2. It’s on sale right now and at that price you’ll be hard pressed to find anything that outperforms it. Here’s the link... -
Idaho draw results
I apply for most all western states and love that Idaho is a true lottery system. I hope it continues to stay that way. I’d like my children to have the same opportunities as everyone else so that they can fall in love with the sport! -
Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18X44 Review ***Updated 2/9/20***
I love my mark 5. Super clear glass and tracks well. I’ve taken it out to 1000+ yards. It’s an amazing compact and light scope. I’ll be testing it on Idaho and Montana backcountry hunts this fall. So far I have every bit of confidence in it.
