    2024 Elk Hunt Gear

    I second the chapstick or carmex. When it is super dry, I used it in my nose to keep it somewhat moist and reduce nosebleeds.

    Kuiu Code for $25 off $149 or More

    Isn't this the same $$ coupon you get every time you log into their website? At least I do. Give it a try and see if you get a popup. I just tried it and got the same discount popup.

    The death of the retail store

    Everyone has their own motivations and I recognize that. However, I have a different twist on why I HATE online purchases, especially the biggest of online companies. Online companies do not employ anyone in my town. Thus they do not pay employment taxes to my state. They do not pay real...

    Schnee's Beartooth 0g Longterm Review

    My relationship with Beartooths goes back to 2008 and encompasses 3 pairs. My oldest pair finally are no longer waterproof. Why? because finally the laces wore a few holes in the tongue. No idea how many miles, but it is a big number. Pair number 2 goes back to 2016. Still waterproof...

    Once again a “Influencer” is caught poaching on several hunts (Alpinecarnivore)

    Randy Newberg has many episodes on conservation and education. He is one who cares. But he has said repeatedly that an elk video will outperform a conservation video by a wide margin. I wonder if Matt Rinella is developing a facial twitch after reading about this.

    Rogan/Hanes launch “elk blood” energy drink….

    I believe there are a lot of people who have done way more than those 2 to promote hunting. Both "famous" and regular people. you can start with the volunteer network of RMEF, PF, DU, NWTF, MDS, RMBS, etc.

    Rogan/Hanes launch “elk blood” energy drink….

    The issue I think many have with them is they are trying to appeal to the average guy, yet hunt these private ranches. The optics is just plain bad. And specifically on Haines, the whole "I am fine if my destiny is to get mauled to death by a wounded grizzly because I don't carry a firearm" is...

    140 inch 8 point?

    I saw a replica of the world record 8 shot in SW MN. Poached actually as he had already used his tag. Wow, is all I can say! I have a 150" gross 4X5 that has a 2" 9th point. He is about a148" as an 8. 13" G2s and 10" G3s help build points fast. To me, you cannot get to 140" without good...

    Who’s running alpaca socks? Durability?

    I have a couple pair of alpaca. I also have a bunch of Smartwool. To be honest, I cannot tell the difference. I like them all.

    I went to a 500 yard range yesterday ....

    Roads are typically every mile, maybe every 2 miles. We have plenty of room for a long range, we just don't have any close to me. The further north you go there are bigger chunks of roadless area.

    Best brand for someone looking to upgrade

    I am a fan of Sitka. You can always find it on sale. You can try it on in many stores. It has just plain performed really well for me while archery elk hunting, deer hunting, antelope hunting, etc. I am thinking of trying a pair of KUIU Attack pants. really wish I could try a pair on...

    Reluctantly Obliging Matt Rinella

    I read way more people bashing those that own Sitka than those that own Sitka bashing others. I am also at a complete loss why a company cannot market another demographic with their own marketing dollars without getting accused of lacking principles. Find Sitka on sale (20% off is easy...

    Conservation Organization

    Huge supporter of PF. Local dollars stay local and get things done on the ground. I also love RMEF. Both orgs do a great job of leveraging their money for wild critters.

    September Elk clothing list

    I would bring more boxers and a few tshirts both short and long sleeve. People can get a little funky smelling after hunting hard all day, don't go light on the stuff next to your skin! Especially when you have a guide packing it in. I also bring a lightweight face/neck gaiter thingy that...
