Has anyone actually tested the numbers from Gold Tip or podium Archery’s foc calculators? I plugged in an arrow build I’m looking into building, and the foc was a 2% difference. I know it’s splitting hairs, and doesn’t make a huge difference, but wondering what the difference between the two...
Looking for a lightish weight sleeping bag, preferably in the 0-15 degree range, along with a sleeping pad with a 4+ r value. Trying to stay under $250 for the sleeping bag and $150 for the sleeping pad.
Has anyone ever done a diy paint job on a black quiver to try and get this camo pattern? Tried finding anything online for it, but haven’t had any luck. Just curious what colors were used or how it turned out.
2013 Summit Specialist MLB. Weighs right at 16 pounds. Haven’t used it much the past few years since moving to an area with no limbless trees. Was used quite a bit before that. Extremely comfortable stand, and packs in rather easy. Just don’t want it collecting dust in the garage when it would...
My brother has a first season archery elk tag in the Gila this Fall. Because of the remoteness of the unit, and it being something my Dad has always wanted to do, we decided to do a drop camp hunt. My dad is up in his late 60s, and has always wanted to do a drop camp elk hunt. His birthday is...
I have a Loggy Bayou treestand that I got from a friend, but I’m not sure which one it is. Does anyone know which model this is? I am also looking for any tips on mods to make to the treestand. I’m planning on switching out the rope for a ratchet strap and adding some stealth stripping. Any...
Considering trying a thumb release for next season. What are some hunting options that people are using and having success with? Does anyone know of any places in OH where a person could go give different releases a try before buying?
So I just finished my second elk hunt, and thought I would make a post to hopefully help some hunters out in the future. This was my first time backpack hunting and solo elk hunting, so take this with a grain of salt.
ADVANTAGES:
1. Stay out in the woods, or head to the truck. It’s your...
Second time hunting elk, so I could be completely off base here, so forgive me if that is the case. I have turkey hunted out east quite a bit on public land, and I’ve always had the impression that if someone else is calling to a bird when I get to it, it’s their bird to call to. Is elk not the...
Looking for a Kuiu tall carbon frame. Bought a used Ultra pack and 2016 frame, but the regular frame is too small for me. Willing to trade the regular frame for a tall frame or add cash if the other frame is newer. Willing to sell for $125.
Looking to buy a pack with meat hauling capabilities, and enough space for 3-4 days for an elk hunt. Can’t afford to go with a new top of the line pack, but want a good pack since this will be my first backpacking elk trip. Looking at getting the slumberjack deadfall 65 if I cannot find a better...
Looking to buy something in the 2700-4000 cu inch range. Going on an elk trip, so looking for something to do multi day hunts in, but also haul out meat. Trying to stay below $350, but willing to hear any offers.
I’ve been on an OTC archery elk hunt, but plan on doing things a little differently for my next trip. I plan on having a minimalist type spike camp on my back. I’m looking to head into areas to hunt for 2 or 3 days to chase elk. I’ll head back to the truck to either resupply or relocate...
