What kind of neat stuff have you had made from your elk. I got some elk teeth (buglers) I want to make a necklace from. Also have a couple sheds I would like to make a knife from.
Any pictures of stuff you have made or had made from elk parts?
What do you pay to get your elk processed?
I had mine cut, plastic wrapped and then paper wrapped for $220.00 this year. I feel like that was a good deal. It was also deboned when delivered to the butcher. This was in Colorado.
Where I hunt we camp low and hunt up the mountain in the mornings. It seems to work pretty well, but I have ended up chasing bulls up the mountain that get into dark timber and bed. I know some hunters that say they will only hunt down in the mornings. Any preference and why does it work for...
Does anyone shoot a 200 grain point from their compound with carbon arrows?
I want to shoot 100 grain brass insert and 100 grain broadhead.
All arrow charts only go to 125 grain points, so how do you tune an arrow with a 200 grain point, carbon shaft?
Every time I come to this forum and see those horrible blisters on the Lathrop advertisment it just makes me sick. Anyone know who those feet belong to?
I had a 50 cent size blister on the bottom of my foot a couple years ago when it was crazy hot and no elk were moving, so we put on a lot of...
I recently obtained a new RER recurve and some new arrow shafts. In order to tune the recurve I installed a nock and weighted point. I shot the arrow that went into the target leaning hard left indicating my spine was too weak. I slowly shortened the arrow until it entered straight in. Cut...
What kind of funny tricks have you done or had done to you when in elk camp, or just hunting/camping?
First year I went to Colorado, about four days into the hunt my buddy asked me to adjust his day pack while he was wearing it. I was sitting down when he asked. As I got up I picked up a rock...
Anyone use the arrow tracers that wrap around the arrow behind the feathers. They help make the arrow more visible.
What's the pros or cons of the tracers?
A relative told me if I find an elk shed or antler in Colorado it is illegal to bring it home, or out of that state I suppose. Anyone knwo about this, I did some internet searches but found nothing.
I have never checked into trespass fees so I have no idea how much is being asked. Not asking for a certain property, just wandering what the average cost is or how it is figured for elk hunting. I'm guessing deer fees are different.
Any plans for ELK101 to come to any shows in the eastern states? North Carolina has a Dixie Classic Show in Greensboro, NC. Lots of folks come to it and I have seen from this forum that a lot of easterners are elk hunters also...???
This is a short video of the first trip to Colorado in 2009. My friend shot a 6x6 with his Mathews. We are greenhorns, but we are excited. My friend, Mike shot the bull just after daylight and then hiked around the mountain to find me. When I saw him fast walking through the brush I knew he had...
What would be the lightest or minimum bullet weight you would use on a 50 caliber muzzle loader for elk hunting?
I used a 370 grain maxi ball this season and it performed well. I am considering the 320 grain but do not want to go to light.
I used to run alot, then got plan tar fasciitis and that put a stop to it. I bought a mountain bike and started riding to get the cardio workout on the hills. Weather is the biggest obsticle to riding. Just joined a gym to do stationary bike and some treadmill.
Other than running, which I would...
