    What states are you looking to apply for this year?

    I'm struggling with this decision. I'll probably apply in NM and WY hoping the random odds are in my favor for either. But the biggest struggle for me is if I plan to try for MT or stick with the same area in CO, but for archery. Even though I shot a bull this year for rifle, I still get mixed...

    Looks like some nice deer. Congrats to all! I couldn't let this guy go after he followed the play book to a "T" and passed by me at 17 yds.

    Game cameras

    I haven't used many, but I currently have a couple cell cams from Wildgame Innovations, and I'm pretty frustrated with them. I bought them refurbished off camofire, so they obviously aren't in tip-top share, but they seem to have a new issue pop up every year. I plan to try spypoint next. As far...

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Trust me...I know this year was an outlier. I and a co-worker are thinking about an archery elk hunt, but haven't decided anything official yet.

    Little bit of a different landscape than the elk hunt:LOL:...Caught him just before he slipped down into a 300' deep coulee that's about 50 ft behind me in this photo.

    Giveaway!!! Choice of Gerber Knife

    Update*** I was able to try out this knife on both an elk and a mule deer. The tendon cutting tool worked out so slick on the hide and tendons! On the mule deer, I never even used the actual knife blade.

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Well, I was extremely blessed during my first ever elk hunt this year. 1st Rifle season in CO, we were hoping to just see elk and possibly here a bugle, but it turned out to be soooo much more than that! We found elk day 1, patterned them, and I stuck with them enough to finally punch my tag on...

    2024 Hunt Update Thread

    I've been a bit pre-occupied...Busy in CO for my first ever elk hunt (1st Rifle), and then I just got back this last weekend from a mule deer hunt in MT. Both were amazing, and both ended with meat in the freezer! In CO, we found elk the day we arrived and were into them nearly every day. They...

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    That's awesome to hear stories about good people willing to help out in big ways. Even though your hunt resulted in losing some meat and included worries of whether you'd find your elk, it sounds like you still had a great experience! I'm sure I'm not saying anything you guys don't already know...

    Opposite game?

    I read on another forum the other day (or possibly an old thread on this one) a post about elk finding tips. As you can imagine, there were comments and input from about every angle, with some being helpful and others not so much. One comment I read was 'do the opposite of what the majority of...

    Pre-season to In-season Scouting Questions

    This year will be my group's first time elk hunting. We will be out for Colorado's 1st Rifle season mid-Oct, but plan to arrive a couple days early for acclimation and some scouting. I have several hunt areas detailed into hunt plans as backup options, and within each area I have already...

    Scenario: What Do You Do?

    I'd remain as still as possible while looking around for any cows that could bust me, and wait for the right moment to get to a better setup for a shot opportunity when he stands up. Follow up question...If you have the opportunity to move to a better position with the above stated wind, how...
