Good luck this season! Hope you fill ur tag. I’m sure it definitely helps living at high elevation and in elk country to allow more time to scout and get in the right physical shape.
Congrats on success in your first season! Thanks awesome. Finding a hunting buddy who is as tough or tougher than you seems to be key and a diamond in the rough a lot of the time when looking for someone to go with.
It sure sounds like and looks like it was a very successful first elk hunt! Not only were u successful on a nice cow but got it spend time hunting with your family.
I agree with finding a good hunting partner. Most people love the idea of going on a backcountry elk hunt but not everyone can...
Thanks for sharing your experience! Even though you did not kill an elk it sounds like you has a great hunt with elk encounters. It seems like you went into it well prepared without any major negative events and learned some new things to go into this season with even more knowledge and...
Hi everyone, I am going on my first DIY elk hunting trip to Colorado this September just like the thousands of other guys who post on this forum or other social media outlets every year. Rokslide is filled with tons of useful information and I rely on reading old posts to gather more knowledge...
Got an REI magma 15 bag for Xmas. Looking forward to testing it out this fall but so far it’s been a great bag. Super warm, comfortable, lightweight, and at a reasonable price. Pairing it with a sea to summit liner so should be perfect for September in the mountains.

I’m from northeast PA and already have a beartooth with the guide lite MT frame. I plan on picking up the 2020 mule bag only option for whitetail hunting. I think it will fit the bill perfectly for archery season public land hunting. having the loading shelf will allow for packing out a deer and...
Don’t think u could go wrong with any of those options. I was in same boat when it came between Metcalf and beartooth on deciding. Ultimately you are getting extra capacity and have the day lid to use or take off depending on how much gear you need with the beartooth. For an extra 50 bucks I...
I bought the mystery ranch beartooth last fall for a Colorado mule deer hunt. Worked well as a day pack and also would be great for a 5-7 day backcountry hunt I’m sure.
