Sorry, I thought your main question was "do I sit water or hike"? I also highly recommend the ElkNut app; I was just trying to warn you that every dude with a bow will be hitting water holes as often as they can, so areas between water or bedding within a mile or so of water is more productive-...
I spent over 25 years hunting elk or helping friends hunt elk in AZ before moving out of state. Most of my hunts were in 4/ 4A/ 9 and 10. If you hunt water, you will be combat hunting and only see elk if you are lucky- they will come in after dark because every other hunter in the unit will be...
Like new in Elevated II, size 34R. Nothing wrong with the pants- I just decided to stick with the ascent pants because they work better with my style of hunting. 1 pair worn once or twice and the other worn once or not at all (I can't remember, but you can't tell either of them have been worn by...
Like new in Elevated II, size 34R. Absolutely nothing wrong with the pants- I just decided to stick with the ascent and mountain pants. 1 pair worn once or twice and the other worn once or not at all (I can't remember). $105 each TYD or $200 for both. Located in N Idaho, so $90 each if I...

Before I buy new, thought I'd try here: Looking for Stone Glacier evo 3300 with medium belt...or Kuiu pro 2300 or LT 4000 with reg frame and small/med suspension (verde or phantom preferably) . What's out there? PM me if you have something to sell, please.
I'd probably never use the "removable small pack" by the looks of how it is designed; just wondering how much weight I'd save by leaving that part at home?
I can't find a pair of NLs close by to look through. I looked at ELs, but in the store it is really hard to judge. Are the NLs really that much better?
After decades of using Nikon binos (10x42s) I'm ready to upgrade my glass and have settled on Swarovski. My main question is, what would you recommend for North Idaho hunting? I rarely use a tripod (have a good spotter for that), usually free-hand, 70% still hunting/ spot and stalk archery and...
