    2015 Hunt Plans

    Who has their 2015 Elk Hunt already planned? At this point I\'m clueless, I\'ve got a few options but nothing remotely locked in. How about everybody else?

    Elk Hunt Photos

    I finally got around to getting my pix put on a cd so I can post a few up. My camera was always in my pack so I didn\'t get any pics of the BIG mulies or the cow elk or moose.

    Elk steaks

    I finally got to have the whole family together for supper last night. I marinated some elk steaks supplied by bowhunter (Thanks) and then Sunday afternoon put them on the grill. My old grill was about to fall apart so I improvised and just used the grate, a couple of rocks and some hickory...

    Trapping

    Anybody excited about trapping? Just ordered some dye and wax to redo my traps. Ordered some new scents too. It\'s been two years since I\'ve got to trap due to the knee replacements. I think I\'m more excited about that than WT hunting.

    I have an idea!!!

    Just helped a guy wire up some lights on this trailer. It\'s for a retirement party tomorrow night. I think this could be a useful piece of gear for an elk camp. The sides of the trailer were thick and insulated well. I was thinking if I could find one that was out of use and cheap enough it...

    Eberlestock F1 Mainframe

    Anybody have any experience with this frame? I was looking at a Kelty Cache Hauler like Brad uses but I found this one as well. I like my X2 and the Mainframe is compatible with other bags from Eberlestock. Primarily looking for something comfortable to haul meat but may use it for a bivy...

    Elk steaks

    Terry sent me a box of elk steaks and burger from his bull (thanks) :clap: I\'m going to cook some this weekend. I hope it turns out good, the better my wife likes it the less trouble I have with her letting me go elk hunting again next year. Any recipes, I\'m all ears! :angle:

    Hog Hunts

    I\'ve been looking at hog hunts for my son. Most of them are $300 and less which is not bad (I guess). I can\'t take him for very long, he can\'t miss school and work so a 3 day hunt should suffice. I would also like for it to be close to some sort of attraction my wife would like (Malls...

    My "New" Camper Shell

    Bought this for $150. Called CTC and got keys for the locks. Brake light and dome light work as well. Just mounted it with foam tape and clamps and wired in the lights. My wife and son hate it because it doesn\'t match my truck. Her dad has all of the stuff to paint it and I have a budyy...

    Custom Calls

    Still working on the Christmas list. Lots of fun but stuff is expensive so I don\'t want to ask for things I don\'t actually need. I have been looking at open reed/bite blow calls. I seen one from S2 called a Hot Mess. It looks cool, it\'s acrylic like high end duck calls. I used 3...

    Gaiters

    What\'s the best gaiters for elk hunting? I\'m working on a Christmas list and don\'t have a clue. I\'ve read Kennetrek makes good gaiters, any suggestions?

    Boonie Hats

    I didn\'t take my boonie hat to the mountains but I wished I would have. Mine old one is cotton so I thought I would look for one in a different material for next year. I found this one from Drake Waterfowl, <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.drakewaterfowl.com\"...

    My 2014 Elk Hunt

    I accomplished some of my goals during my first elk hunt. I did get to hear 3 bulls bugle. They didn\'t talk much, one of them only bugled once and I never could figure out exactly which direction he was from me. I did have one bugle fairly close to me, I was sitting on a fresh wallow I found...

    Awesome Son

    Just wanted to brag on my son. He got his license on Friday. On Saturday he won the annual St. Jude Archery Tourney. It\'s a pretty big shoot around here. A lot of shooters come in for it, it\'s been advertised on the radio for a couple of weeks. He also particpated in some novelty shoots...

    Broadhead Question

    I\'ve been shooting Muzzys for years and never had a problem with them. They were shooting the same as my FPs out to 30. Last night I checked them out to 50. They would not group. I\'m thinking I may change and was looking at SlickTricks. Anybody have any experience with them? I know my...

    Arrow Rests

    Wrong time of year to be changing, I know. I was at the bow shop yesterday getting my be re-tuned for some stiffer shafts and looked at some different type rests. I won\'t be changing rests or anything on my bow this year but I got to thinking (that\'s never good :lol: ) I will have to change...

    Dates

    My hunt dates are 30 Aug-12 Sep. I\'m going to be in Colorado, Unit 44. Of those dates, any advice on what the elk will be doing in relation to the rut and calling tactics. I know cold calling has been discussed quite a bit, is there a chance I\'m going to hear a big bull hammering? Are any...

    I have no idea!

    My phone started blowing up this morning. Guys from the office were down at the truck stop getting breakfast and seen this in the back of a truck (had MO plates). They said it was loaded with hunting gear. None of those guys hunt but they know what\'s on my mind so they took this pic and all...

    Getting Ready

    Just loaded my new pack. I believe I can bivy four days at a time with this set up. Kind of proud of her. First piece of elk gear I\'ve ever owned. Other than the extra food and clothes back at the truck this will be home for two weeks, can\'t wait.

    Rubs

    I normally don\'t get too excited about rubs in the whitetail woods and don\'t do a lot of scouting anymore. Typically hunt the same ground year after year or scout new ground during turkey season. Normally though if you find a lot of rubs early, you\'re close to a buck\'s bedding area or at...
