As most know, I shot a nice 5x on the last evening of my hunt this Sept. Shot was 40yds. He was slightly quartered away and turned back to look at me so sorta bunched up. Everything felt good. He ran about 80 yds and stopped, teetered, wobbled but just didn\'t fall. I watched him for as...

For everything except elk and deer. Good luck to all who put in for sheep, goat, moose, pronghorn, and bear!

With a baby on the way VERY soon I had one day to get out after a Colorado gobbler. I set my blind last Friday after work. After a weekend full of honey-do\'s I would sneak out on Monday. Fingers crossed

Been meaning to do this for a while. I used to be able to shoot paper at my local archery club as they had a frame in the clubhouse. Always wanted to build my own. I love tinkering and tuning. Took about 10 min. and cost about $20.

I had two friends with tags for an area I\'ve got good access to in WY. Here\'s a few pics from the hunts First day was absolutely freezing; 20* and blowing 30mph. We found goats quickly in numbers beyond exaggeration; hundreds and hundreds of them stacked up on a private farm which I have...

Thought I\'d share a report of my munt in IL. As some already know, I never let an arrow fly though I had quite a few chances including a few at bucks that would have been my best. With a full freezer, I was intent on holding out for a giant or eating my tag. It was a really great hunt and I...

What are your favorite calls to carry while huntn WT?

Got down to scout my \"go to\" unit this past weekend. Saw about 100 elk give or take and 6 bulls that would go 265+ :upthumb: . Usually we don\'t see any good bulls until after Labor Day so this bodes well. Also had them bugling until after 11am. Scouted a new spot to add to the arsenal and...

I know, I know. I should be thinking about elk, but I got my deer tag in the mail the other day and I just can\'t get them IL WT\'s off my mind! My buddy has been sending me reports of outstanding deer numbers and sighting of 15-20 bucks at a time, most of which would be over 125. The...

Thought I\'d give up a few of my \"secret\" (not at all) tactics and others might share some of theirs. Here\'s a few. The Elk Ventriloquist: I think directing a bull for my particular setup has helped a ton. I\'ve learned never to point my calls towards an elk but rather to lure him to the...

Well, I don\'t think he\'ll win any contests but he\'s got two beards :upthumb: Killed this bird at 8:00 am on the Colorado opener. Good luck to all! Post em up!

What worked for you this year in terms of hunting/calling strategies? What, specifically, helped close the deal or should have closed the deal? I\'m looking for specific situations that ended with a dead elk. I\'ll start. 2nd afternoon of an 18 day hunt, I met some young kids at the...

I\'ll be the first to admit that I don\'t know much about hunting wallows. I usually can\'t sit still and have always opted for the run/gun type of elk hunt. It seems every time I find a good wallow it gets abandoned shortly after and they never seem to use the exact same spot each year. I...

I am firm believer in the idea that guys become so attached to a decent/crappy spot that it prevents them from ever finding great elk hunting. I think this (having a bad spot) is the number one reason a lot of guys strike out. I realize it is a tough bridge to cross (accepting the idea that...

Anybody else have trouble hanging on to guns even when they\'re only collecting dust? I want to sell some of these but they\'ve all been passed down to me and I just can\'t do it. How do you guys feel about your guns? Do you have trouble parting with even one\'s you\'ll probably never use?

Shoot a SMALL one!! This was a few years back, 5 trailless miles (.5 uphill), 2 guys, one trip packout and by far the toughest of my elk hunting career. So, if you have the chance to shoot the lead cow or something smaller this season, you might want to imagine the packout before you pick a...
