    Sock options hollow socks or sock liner

    I have worn Smartwool and Darn Tough for years now. the amount of wool in the sock varies depending on the model of the sock. I just purchased a couple pair of Hollow socks during their sale and I am very suprised at how much cooler my feet feel and how much softer the sock feels. I wear wool...

    Better way to pack sleeping bag?

    I would stuff the (loose)bag into the bottom of your pack and then everything else can go on top. I have a 0 degree Western mountaineering bag that will compress down to the size of a football.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    Bunch of good tips here already for saving weight so I will just say that I would ADD LeukoTape and Quik Clot to your gear. 7 miles with that weight on uneven terrain you are probably going to have a hotspot or 2 show up on your feet (Leukotape) and your 7 miles will feel like 20.

    How do you carry bow elk hunting CO? Bow Hitch worth it?

    I use a belt hook that attaches to my hip belt on my pack. I'm right handed and carry the bow on my left hip so it is easy to grab. Similar to this.

    Hunting clothes

    All of the well known brands run sales throughout the year. I use everything from REI, Smartwool and First Lite to Kuiu and Darn Tough. Haven't paid full price yet.

    Elk in heavy recreational traffic areas

    I would be looking at the elevations where there are no rec trails. If these rec trails are used year round then the elk are accustomed to the noise and will generally avoid them as much as possible from what I've experienced.

    Guide tip on a elk hunt

    I've only been on 1 guided hunt and I tipped my guide 10% of the outfitters cost. I tipped the camp cook $100 and did not tip the wrangler as we never used any of the stock that was in camp. This was a 5 day hunt not counting the day to or from camp.

    I need to learn to bugle and cow call before September

    If you want to learn how to use diaphragms watch Corey Jacobsen or Dirk Durham. After that get the Elknut app and learn what you are saying to the elk.
