    Evening shots

    So light is drawing to a close and you have sights on a bear. I've heard this discussed to death with deer. However, a bear being a potentially wounded predator, how late are you willing to go look for the bear if youre solo? I'd imagine spoilage is more of an issue with them due to being...

    Thoughts on northern cali? Perks vs it being commiefornia

    I've been considering where I could work versus hunting benefits and all, and Cali public land is appealing. Don't really want to live in city but are the natural perks offset entirely by their governance?

    Mtn tough 45-70 vs ng60

    Trying to get into the rhythm of working out without weights. I like to run and I like to lift heavy. Not having the gym has sucked, I am terrible at planning out bodyweight or pack weight stuff. I've been doing what mtn tough vids are on youtube, and think I might buy one simply because I hate...

    Baptism by snow- first time elk recap

    Think I'm finally recovered from my first attempt at solo diy elk hunting. Got snowed out but boy was it fun. Takeaways- 1. Elevation will do funny things to you, no matter how physically prepared you are. 2. Mountain weather can change on a dime. Calm and collected quickly turns into 50 mph...

    Elk calling in 2nd rifle?

    First time chasing them, and I'd rather not be the idiot blowing all the elk out of the area trying to call Elk if its the wrong time to attempt locating them. Are they just less talkative at this time? Would it be better as a new guy to just observe and stalk? Or is it like Turkey hunting where...

    Late october bear behavior? Colorado

    So I initially forewent the idea of hunting bear end of october/beginning of november in Colorado, as I'd assume the bears are getting ready to hibernate, late into their feeding time. However, I didn't ask anyone about it either. So what is behavior for bears like at that time? CPW regs make it...

    Molle 2 waist belt keeps coming undone?

    So it seems like my waist belt buckle on a molle 2 setup keeps coming undone. I dont see any plastic chipped but I'd go to tighten the strap and itd just pull apart. Any recommendation on what to look at? I noticed the tabs kind of push against each other, so I bent them a bit and it stuck...

    Colorado clothes suggestions

    So my plans changed from california bear at this moment, to colorado later in the year. Totally different climate, and later season means colder weather and potential snow. I'll preface the clothes I've wore below, were worn on a mule deer hunt that got down into the 30s. I was grateful for the...

    Throw in another texan..

    Well with the fires in california burning down my hopes to go bear hunt, I think I'm going to focus on Colorado for this year. I think I'd rather go hunt the mountains than shoot something in a pen here.. or die from mosquitoes lol. That said, I've been looking at sw colorado. If anyone wants...

    Pre hunt recovery

    So I have a hard time not working out harder and continuing to lose weight all the way up to hunt. However I know it's better to try and spend some time recovering. What's your pre hunt routine look like? When do you start? I'm at about 4 weeks out and thinking light cardio and medium weights...

    Molle frame with kifaru panel and kuiu 7200 bag

    Well based on a couple threads I found on here, tried my hand at something middle of the road. All I used were the kifaru straps that came with the cargo panel, kuiu compression straps, and a few grimlocks. Cargo panel was easy. The bag was frustrating lol. Ordered 2 extra bags of their straps...

    Signs of near blackout...

    So I know it's most common with deadlift, but what all have you found makes you feel like your about to lose consciousness? For me its pendlay rows, zercher deadlifts, or if I do alot of overhead work/bent over sled pushes. I typically try to sit, if i feel myself losing it still I'll force...
