    Handhelp GPS

    I bought a normal Garmin GPS 5 years ago and used it on a total of one hunt. I couldn't justify carrying the extra weight for another map source when the offline maps from OnX work great. This past season I did purchase the full size Garmin InReach. I purchased the large over the mini for the...

    Book Cliffs Bison Advice

    Sounds like they may have had the Little Creek Roadless Area tag, which is part of the Book Cliffs. There are herds deep in those canyons and would be an awesome hunt! There are supposed to be herds elsewhere but it seems more and more like they're unicorns.

    Book Cliffs Bison Advice

    As an update, we were unsuccessful in locating a herd. Spent a lot of time driving and looking down into the canyons and covered a lot of varying elevations. We ran into one guy that had saw a herd crossing seep ridge a few days before the season started, but that intel was 11 days old and we...

    Book Cliffs Bison Advice

    Apparently they've been everywhere we aren't! With a total herd of 400 bison across 1.2 million acres, I'd say they're not "absolutely everywhere" lol. But we're still giving it a go.

    Book Cliffs Bison Advice

    A buddy drew the nonresident cow only late season hunt in the Book Cliffs, 11/20-12/5. We spent all weekend driving and glassing over a combined 250+ miles across two trucks and turned up exactly 0 bison. There is little information on the web about these hunts and the calls to the biologist...

    Ranging Elk For Archery

    All great responses above. The answer is so situationally dependent that it's good to have multiple tools in your toolbelt. I rely on A the most, but elk rarely (read never) walk to the exact spot you ranged. Being able to adapt A with the thought process of C will prove the most beneficial. In...

    How far would you pack out an elk

    On my first elk hunt I was 7.5 miles from the trailhead on a well maintained trail. It had taken 2 of the 10 day trip to regain my composure from the hike in (never underestimate what carrying 50+lbs many miles will do to your body). A few days in I came to full draw on a 4x4 at 10 yards and was...

    Wyoming group application draw odds question

    Wyoming is one of the only states where it makes sense to apply as a party. As long as you have the same number of points as your buddy, you have the same odds as if you applied individually. Wyoming over allocates the number of tags if the last application drawn is a party application. For...

    Waiting till the last day to apply for AZ?

    If you are able to pick the days your license is valid for, do you actually have to wait to apply? For instance, this year my license expires on 2/8. I have to buy a license regardless since the application deadline is 2/9. It doesn't matter what day I apply on as long as I select my valid date...

    Date selection, early sept pre rut or late sept pressured bulls??

    In my experience, muzzleloaders have never affected my hunt. I have hunted during muzzleloader season for three years and have only ran into one hunter who was with a guide approx. 7 miles from the truck off a popular trailhead. Don't let the extra "pressure" deter you from hunting that week.

    Marmot tungsten 2p. How is this?

    I've used the 2P for the last 3 elk seasons in CO and some family trips in between. Never had an issue with leaks or punctures. I always make sure I use the footprint. The tent is a little on the heavy side, but comes with a lot of inside space and the dual vestibules are nice and roomy. I...

    ELK Hunting in Grizz Country Is it worth it?

    Do you avoid the ocean because of sharks? I tend to think of grizzlies in the same manner. I do agree with Laramie though. I don't know that I would venture out solo, just in case things go south. I'll be heading into grizzly country in 59 days!

    Where are the Elk

    From my limited experience in the area I hunt, the elk do not seem to care much about elevation. I shot my bull on opening day in CO last year (8/31) at 7,200 ft. Two weeks later I went back with two buddies and they harvested a bull and a cow at 10,400 ft. Each herd is going to be doing their...

    Which Phelps mouth call?

    I have had good luck with the BRO (Born and Raised Outdoors) Editions. They sell a multi-pack with the Committed, The Reason, and Tagged Out calls so you can try them all. It looks like the multi-pack is currently on sale for $25 on their website. My personal preference is The Reason, followed...

    CO Draw Results?

    Why does the wait between cards being hit and your CPW account being updated seem just as long as the time since application!?
