Hey all, I'm counting the days before I leave now, and thought I'd throw out some feelers for any general info I may have missed in all my homework. I've got lots of pins dropped and a few different areas I'm looking at. Won't be doing much spike camping or overnight trips through areas, mainly...

Guys, Long time since I've posted here, but im back on the bandwagon and heading to Oregon in a few weeks to chase Roosies. I switched up my arrow set up this summer, as I wasn't getting the consistency I wanted. I'm now shooting easton axis 340s, with 100 gr annihlator broadheads. Flight is...

Hello all, I'm looking at getting after the elk in Idaho again next year, and looking at exploring a new area. Hunted Lemhi last year, had fun, saw elk, but came home with nothing but tag soup. The diamond creek area looks interesting, but from what I've read, its a long shot to get the tag...

I think I'm looking more for a confidence boost than anything else with this post, but I'll throw it out and see what the resident pros think. The other day when I was doing all my shooting and NOT tuning (see previous post haha) I noticed, maybe just in my head, that it seemed to take around 7...

About a month ago, I had a new 60x string put on my Mathews z7. The Mathews guy at the store where I got it put on said he got it all tuned and shooting bullet holes thru paper. I got it home. shot it, and my groups are awesome. To the point I don't shoot at the same spot very often anymore for...

Looking for idea . What are some meals you guys prep ahead of time to bring with on the hunt? I made the protein bars from Ryan Lampers website today just to try them. Definitely bringing some of those with. But now I'm looking for recipes or ideas for actual meals, not just snacks.

Its almost here.....so ready and yet not ready. Still working out final little details and getting in shape. I've been reading and watching alot lately about pack llamas and pack goats. I think both would be awesome,  but I think the goats would almost add an element of novelty and, for me...

Anyone have any insight on the kuiu Icon pro packs? I know the main debate is MR vs EXO most of the time, and I'm in the same boat. But I looked at kuiu the other day. Same weight, same type setup, and slightly cheaper than the EXO. Now I'm torn. I would say I finally got the wife's approval to...

Just wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this place. One just opened by my house, so thinking of joining since the North Dakota winter isn't real good for training outside. I've read a few reviews, some good, some bad. Just trying to make up my mind.

Thinking about making a trip out to Idaho before archery season to at least get the lay of the land and get a feel for what I'm working with out there. Question is, when? I plan on hunting the beginning of September. I'm thinking either June, or August. My July days off will he used up on...

Guys, Made my 1000th attempt at getting that sweet bullet hole with my Mathews Z7 today. Had it down to about a quarter inch tear before I stripped out my rest (QAD HDX). That's a separate issue I'm working on getting fixed. My question is about the end result right before it broke. Had a bad...

Planning a hunt in Idaho, early September archery. Will have a Basecamp at the truck, and bivvy/backpack hunt 2-3 days at a time. I'm torn between a 1P tent, mainly the idea of having a floor, or just getting an ultralight tarp and setting up with trekking poles, branches, etc. I have a 2P...

Hello all, I'll be going on my first archery elk hunt in September, and am wondering what type of arrow setup I should use. I'm just a little fella, so my arrows are only 27". My main question is about FOC, and if adding weight to the front will negativity impact my shorter arrows? I just figure...

Hello all, New to the forum, hoping for a little guidance. Just got my 2019 archery elk tag for Idaho in the Lemhi zone. As of now, planning on hunting 37a. Does anyone have experience in this area and willing to give some pointers? I don't need secret spots or anything like that. More just a...
