    My 2014 hunt

    Well, back a little early from my elk hunt this year. Ups and downs, as per usual. Peech, pictured here, expressed what she thought of the whole deal. Wife packed a camp in for us (me, a friend named Paschal, and Neighbor Scott). I was the only one with a tag this year, but the other two guys...

    The Test

    As a professor of mine used to say in college: \"What we don\'t cover in class, we\'ll cover on the test.\" BacktrakOutdoors is like the class. The Test starts tomorrow for me ... and I\'m sure there\'ll be a lot of material tested that we didn\'t cover well in class! Oh, well, sometimes you...

    2 week forecast

    Here\'s a neat site that tells the likelihood of weather over the next two weeks ... not specifics, just warmer/colder and wetter/drier than normal. Looks like elk country will be warm and dry for a while! <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\"...

    House almost back together

    After having my floors flooded in early June, today is a the day that our new floors get completed (except some trim work) and our furniture gets back in the house. Man, I\'m glad to see this day. We have had all of our furniture in a truck in the driveway for a week. Been so busy that I...

    Son\'s first elk

    Finally got a chance to get out with a rifle using an early cow elk tag ... As we were driving to the ranch where we have permission to hunt, we saw a herd of 20-30 elk on the north end ... and then a few more, grazing on hay about 500 yards from the ranch HQ. We immediately got out and put the...

    South Dakota Elk

    A friend will be coming out to call for me this year ... he went out yesterday near his home in South Dakota and got some great photos ... thought I\'d share. Anybody got a tag for S.D.?

    GPS found

    A few weeks ago I thought I\'d lost my Oregon 450t + HuntingGPSmaps chip ... Guess what I found today in a coat I don\'t remember wearing! I\'m going to take that as a sign that my luck is changing for the better.

    Solo

    Let\'s talk about solo tactics ... I\'m all ears. Not much advice to offer from me, since I have yet to make it work. The focus of a bull on a caller makes being a caller and shooter an issue.

    Late bow tuning

    OK, so as in the \"Off Topic\" thread \"Missing\" and the \"Other Game\" thread \"Antelope reports\", I reported that I had a target/arrow misalignment problem last week, so ... I did some more shooting and found that my broadheads were hitting a little to the left of my field points. Now, of...

    Missing

    For those who have not read my pronghorn report, let me say that I spent some time missing easy shots this weekend. I\'m putting this on the \"Elk\" page, though, because it could influence my elk season, and -- let\'s face it -- there\'s more traffic here. I\'m needing to post this just to...

    Looking for a GPS

    Suppose you lost your GPS ... I\'m thinking of replacing one, see, and I\'m looking for thoughts. I\'d prefer to stick to Garmin, and eventually, I\'ll want to use a Hunt-GPS map chip, so it\'ll need to accept a micro-SD card, but I\'m open to other thoughts. I thought I\'d get along without...

    Pronghorn Scouting

    Just got back from scouting pronghorn ... Forgot my camera, so no photos ... but the short story is that the rain this year has been great ... lots of grass, and the bucks are carrying more mass this year than normal. I was lucky enough to look over a dozen or so spots before settling on one...

    Bears, camps, food

    I had the chance to see a very big black bear up close last year as he huffed and puffed around my camp for about 10-15 minutes last year. I\'m trying to sort out how to arrange camp and hide food. I still haven\'t come up with a good solution. 1. When hanging bear bags, I\'m thinking of...

    Bridger Wilderness

    Well, I\'m back from a great trip into the Bridger Wilderness in western WY ... not really a scouting trip (I\'m not sure I\'d want to be that far back in the woods and need to get an elk out), but more of a camping and \"September preparation\" trip. Here\'s a photo at the trailhead ... think...

    Emergency communication with the outside world

    Do you make any preparations regarding if the terrible \"What if\"s happen while you are in the woods? I\'m thinking of this today since we\'re just a few days away from when Wife and I were planning on being incommunicado with the \"world\" for a week (planning on packing into the wilderness...

    Bedding Areas

    The question is not to hunt them or not ... though I know that\'s a commonly debated subject. The question is how to find them. \"North slopes\" ... \"Benches\" ... \"Benches on north-facing slopes\" ... \"2/3 the way up the \'mountain\'\" ... and ... \"On a north-facing slope bench 2/3 the...
