    2024 Hunt Update Thread

    Was informed yesterday that my guys will be at the house by 10 on Monday. Plan was noon, leave by 1330! Guess I got a couple anxious guys. One even said he hoped we got 3 bulls down the first day. I told him that’s my worst nightmare!

    Sawtooth 45

    Anyone using the Sawtooth 45 for an elk hunting day pack. Not that I need another pack, but been looking at it. Just wondered how it carries a load and how accessible stuff is. TIA

    Mystery Ranch Giveaway!!

    Home state of Illinois, over the border in Indiana and definitely Colorado. Looking at 14 days in Colorado, probably 10 days in Indiana and 60+ in Illinois. Being semi retired is great. Percentage on deer, 100%. On elk, 50/50.

    What's Left in Your Prep?

    Got a list out last night and I’m looking pretty good. Share batteries is about it. Going to check my water filter over and make sure it’s still good. Next step is getting stuff loaded. Fly out next Tuesday and back the 22nd, then back out on the 24th until the 27th. We leave on the 30th for...

    Pre-season to In-season Scouting Questions

    Spend time morning and evening glassing. Depending on where you’re at, bugling may not help much. Last year, the unit I was hunting, the bulls were still going at it 1st rifle.

    A September to remember and how I am planning it.

    River cruise starting in Lyon. My bride became a travel agent after she retired.

    A September to remember and how I am planning it.

    That would kick my OCD in high gear! For some reason I don’t feel I need to make a list, it’s in my head. A checklist would probably help. Leave for France on the 13th, back on the 28th. Leave for Colorado the 30th. OMG, time is running out!!!!

    A September to remember and how I am planning it.

    Leave for Colorado in 26 days, hunting in 29. Also getting antsy, been through the gear twice already, probably one more time. Taking 2 young guys with me this year, their first time. They just want to see elk, hopefully they get a close up view.

    Saskatchewan spring bear

    Hunted with a new outfitter this spring outside of Hudson Bay, Into the Wilds. It’s Sheldon’s first year in business and all I can say is WOW. Saw more bears in the first couple of days than anywhere else I’ve hunted. Not small bears, big bears. Several well over 350#. If you’re looking for a...

    Broadheads

    QAD is what’s tipping my arrows this fall in Colorado. I went with the full, depending on who you talk to at DNR, the swept can be considered barbed. Also, the full blades are easier to resharpen.

    Backcountry Mileage

    Unit I hunt in Colorado, if you walk in 3 miles, you’re almost to the next road. Wyoming is a different story. Used to think that I’d worry about how to get it out once I got it down. That’s not the case anymore. I’d like to think with age comes wisdom. I still go back in the timber, I just...

    Scenario: What Do You Do?

    I sit back, watch the wind a wait. Put together a plan to get 10-15 yards closer. A 50 yard shot is doable, but a 35 is better. I wait.
