    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    From Michigan’s big game biologist: “You'll likely see a lot of this coverage over the next couple of days/weeks. There was recently a study suggesting that two hunters who recently died from sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) may have contracted the disease from eating CWD positive...

    2024 Elk Hunt Gear

    I would go into the backcountry on my first elk hunt with more than 4-5 days off work lol If you mean 4-5 days at spike camp, then back to the truck/base camp to recharge, no issue. If it’s your first hunt, it’ll take 3-4 days to figure out what’s going on and then maybe you’ll have one or...

    Gaiters

    Gaiters cannot replace rubber boots. Gaiters provide waterproof protection for the lower leg potion of your pants which helps prevent moisture from migrating down into your socks. They also help increase the likelihood of keeping your feet dry in the event of a quick, not too deep creek...

    Colorado Springs

    I have the opportunity to move to a couple western cities for work and checked out CO Springs as an option. I was not impressed. 600k homes where people park on their front lawn, aggressive homeless banging on the hood of a car while the driver is waiting in traffic. We eliminated CO Springs...

    Put Some Thought into your first aid kit

    I don’t have any experience with actually using these, but seem like a good fix for moderate cuts in the short term. Added some to my kit a couple days ago. Zip Stitches https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BM9S3MBD/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cool Bot walk in meat cooler, Tips & Tricks appreciated.

    Put some type of temp alarm in there to run during the warmer months while you have meat hanging. Our unit took a dump this year with 2-3 deer hanging. Thankfully, it was mid October with daytime highs were not too warm and we noticed it in time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Colorado Unit 471 Camping Question

    Welcome to the forum. This is a good question for the area biologist/CO if you can get them on the phone. My input: you can expect every flat area to have heavy hunter and non-hunter camping traffic, especially in September. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elk Hunting/ Family Camping Tent Suggestions?

    10x14 Kodiak will be very, very tight with 2 adults and 2 kids (unless you have a double bunk cot for the kids). With the slanted walls, you have less room than the 10x14 footprint. For situations like yours, I just bought an extra Kodiak 10x10 to use as our kitchen/gear storage and the 10x14...
