    son's (10yrs old) first rifle caliber selection for elk

    Agree. We just added a 6.5cm for my 11, turning 12 yo and my older son already used it to take an oryx with no problem. We'll probably be taking it on my daughters AZ elk and NM oryx hunt this fall. Ours is a Ruger American predator. I wanted the ranch but it was out of stock. It's a...

    Colorado S9 Ram tag

    Looks like 4 archery and two rifle if I'm reading right, not certain about @chasewild Archery myself @Mrshort @nmuhs @RockyMountainThunder Rifle @Timberhorn I wouldn't expect to be sharing specific details on rams, but it's not a bad idea to have contact info in case someone gets in a bind...

    Help me cut some pack weight!

    Didn't read all of the replies, and not sure from your list, but do you run the pack lid on that exo 4800? I never run mine, there are enough pockets and it isn't worth the ounces to me. there are lighter treking poles out there

    Lightweight Pack - Thru Hiking and Hunting

    I don't mind any extra weight if I'm just "hiking". I consider it training for hunting

    Kuiu Travel pants???

    I'm guessing these are pretty similar to Prana's? I doubt I ever try them, but I wish they would put phone pockets like that on more pants...

    Hunt Backcountry Podcast 512: Bowhunter Data

    If the data posted is from the podcast, listening doesn't change anything, but I'll listen this week. The next two post see the exact same issue. Exactly

    Group question

    I ageee with this, I see similar results sometimes especially when picking up the bow after not practicing for a while.

    Quivers

    I had a tight spot on my last bow , but the fixed quivers on Mathews bows with integrated rest are as tight as you can get to bow and super solid and quiet. It was one of the main reasons I finally upgraded from a DXT to a V3X.

    Hunt Backcountry Podcast 512: Bowhunter Data

    I haven’t listened yet either, but the yardage data made me instantly doubt the data. But I think they are just taking the total number of wounded elk and splitting it amongst the yardage groups. The Percentage numbers total 100. They should be taking a total number of shot elk at each yardage...

    small business and social media platforms

    Haven't launched my construction business full time yet, but I've seen results from Facebook groups like "residents of x community". Respond to inquiries when people are looking for your business type and have others that know your business to respond with recommendations as well. I think...

    Kuiu Tiburon Pants

    I love them, they're fragile compared to some others, but worth it. I have my pair from 2019 and my wife has sewed a few rips and they are still going. They have a few rips now where they rub my boot and I'm going to get her to sew a thicker material cuff around the bottom few inches and...

    Is the current high tag demand a bubble that will crash in the next 10 years?

    That's one of the worse ideas out there, along with using price increases to curb demand. The lottery and draws manage the supply and demand. They aren't all designed great, but we shouldn't increase regulatory burden and prices just to decrease the demand.
