Been reading/planning/brainstorming how I\'m going to approach my hunt. It seems like there are several schools of thought. I like the way Swede thinks, hunt without calls until you actually learn how to elk hunt. At least I think that is his philosophy and primarily use cow calls. I also...
My last purchase will be a tent. I\'m looking at a REI Passage 1 or Kelty Gunnison or Kelty Salida. Anybody ever use any of these tents. They are in my price range, around $150 and should fit my pack configuration and camp setup. My hunt dates are 30 Aug until 13 Sep unless the hunting gets...
Anybody with both Whitetail and Elk hunting experience? If so, how do their noses compare? I have hunted deer my whole life. I have literally stepped out of a scent free shower, sprayed down with scent killer, rubbed myself down in cedar and hunted a stand I knew I shouldn\'t have because the...
Just got to thinking, I always use a head net when turkey hunting and pull it up at the last minute. I never wear anything in a treestand. What do you guys do when calling to elk. I\'ve never tried to shoot a bow with a head net on but I figure I could practice it a little and not much would...
Okay I have a unit and location to go to (thanks to a member on this forum)! He has also given me some advice on how to hunt. I would like some suggestions on what works for everybody. I can only relate to turkey hunting. I can call in heavily pressured birds on public land when other...
I\'m looking at ordering an Eberlestock X2. I live in Southeast Missouri, there\'s no stores that sell any type of packs for out west hunting so I can only go off of reviews. I\'m looking for something that won\'t effect my shooting form. I\'m also looking for something to get a load of meat...
I have no real experience elk hunting other than what I\'m reading on here and from Extreme Elk magazine but my question is... if I hunt the first two weeks of archery season in Colorado, at what elevation are the majority of the elk going to be spending most of their time during the day? I...
Been registered here for awhile and reading the posts. Going to Colorado this fall for an archery hunt. I was on unit 55 for four days in 2009. Not much of a hunt really just seen a lot of people and heard one bugle. I didn\'t research or know anything about elk hunting at the time. This...
I think I am going to get to go this fall. I really have no elk experience at all. CO is likely my state because it\'s the closest and cheapest. All I\'m really looking for is a unit that will allow me to hear some vocal bulls and a chance to call to them. If they actually respond and I get...
