Opposite game?
This can apply a number of different ways in my opinion. What do other hunters do? Many, in my experience, are either lazy or afraid of getting lost and hunt within 1/4 to 1/2 mile from a road, or they want to "go deep" and head five miles into the wilderness. Many hunters use trailheads or...- cohunter14

Sawtooth 45
I don't personally use the Sawtooth, but a guy in our group does and he really likes it. It's a great pack for sure. Tough to go wrong with Mystery Ranch in my opinion.- cohunter14

Is there such a thing as TOO GOOD of elk habitat?
There are spots in every unit that look like they should hold elk, yet sometimes they just never use those spots. The fact there is sign in the area helps, but if it's not fresh, it doesn't matter during your hunt. I'm of the opinion that you cover ground until you find elk. That can be covering...- cohunter14

What's Left in Your Prep?
With some elk seasons kicking off in less than a month, what do you have left in your prep for the season? I figured sharing some things here might help others realize what they still need to do. Personally, I need to get some more shooting in and a little bit of additional e-scouting. My first...- cohunter14

Pre-season to In-season Scouting Questions
It sounds like you have a great plan in place already, so well done! If it were me, I would spend those scouting dates glassing from my top spots, both early and late in the day when the elk will be most active. If I don't turn anything up during those scouting dates, I'd move on to the next...- cohunter14

A September to remember and how I am planning it.
Man, I'm too OCD to not have a list! I find that lists help me make sure I don't forget anything. The best part is I adjust the list each year to add items that I need or remove items I don't use. Seems to work well!- cohunter14

Scenario: What Do You Do?
You are archery hunting and making your way through the woods, throwing out the occasional call, when you hear what sounds like a bedded bugle 100 yards away. You give it some time, and about a minute later you hear the same call, which sounds like it's coming from a nearby meadow. You ease your...- cohunter14

Wall Tent Pole Bag - What Do You Use?
Bumping this back up. Was just up in the high country camping with the wall tents and still having issues with the pole bags. There has to be a better way than to keep buying these bags. Thinking of concocting some sort of nylon strap setup like Terry had mentioned. Anyone else come up with...- cohunter14

Backcountry Mileage
Totally understand what you're saying. The toughest part is having never been there. If you go that deep, there could be great feed and less pressure, but the elk still might not be there. Just be sure you have a backup plan that, hopefully, doesn't require hiking all the way back out if you...- cohunter14

Backcountry Mileage
A few things to consider before going that far in: 1) If you shoot an elk back there, can you reasonably get it out before it spoils? 2) Do you really want to fully commit to a spot 7 miles in? That's a lot of work, only to get back there and potentially find out there aren't any elk. Going...- cohunter14
