    Base layer options and fit

    Hey all, looking for some advice on base layers I'm trying to build a versatile system that I can use for whitetail, turkey, and waterfowl here in NY but will also allow me to use it out west for an early season elk hunt. So far I've been picking up Sitka gear but I'm having a problem when it...

    Trying to learn to bugle, what am I doing wrong?

    So I've basically got the tone correct. Sometimes it takes me a few tries to get it but that will come with practice.. The thing that I'm having trouble with is just running out of air. I've got the elknut app and I can just barely get long enough for a location bugle sometimes. Sometimes I...

    Help Understanding Harvest Report CO

    I hope this hasn't been answered already but I can't find it if it has. I'm looking at a specific unit for elk and checking out the harvest statistics. In 3 years, 2 of those years have decent harvest numbers for a specific season (25-40% success rates). One year has 0 harvest listed. What...

    Arrow hit concrete... Now what?

    So I did a bonehead move and missed the target shooting in my basement. Arrow hit the concrete block wall. The nock came flying across the room but otherwise the arrow looks fine. I flexed the crap out of it and can't hear any cracking or other noises that sound like the arrow breaking to...

    Scouting For Following Year...Worthwhile?

    So it's looking like I'm shooting for a DIY archery elk trip in CO in 2 years. Finances and vacation time being what it is, I don't think I'd be able to scout and hunt in the same year. So would it be worthwhile to plan a scouting/gear shakedown trip for next year? Would any information I...

    Do insoles require break in?

    Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find it. Got a pair of crispi west rivers. I like the boots but I feel like the insoles could have better cushion and support. I've got probably 3-5 miles on them so far so it's very early. If I do decide to change the insoles how much break in...

    Can a first timer from the East learn to call elk?

    Basically just what the title says. Do you think an easterner can learn to call elk effectively before their first trip? I really have this dream in my head about hearing them rutting and screaming and getting one to come take a look at me. Something I really want to experience some day.

    Crispi West River first impressions

    Haven't seen a lot of talk about these particular boots so I figured since I'm a FNG and need posts anyway I'd give my impressions. Keep in mind, this is my first pair of mountain style boots so I really have no idea what I'm talking about but here goes. Saw these on sale on Black Friday for...
