    Is your life revolving around your upcoming Elk hunt?

    I live around 5600’, seems me and my hunting buddies are pretty good until about 10,500’. After that it gets pretty hard to settle in hiking a lot until you have acclimated over a few days. Make sure to stay hydrated it’s easy to not drink enough water especially if it’s not that warm.

    Anybody carry a fixed blade knife on their belt while hunting?

    I would like to find a place that works consistently to carry one, but I usually just carry a folder in my front pocket, and sheath knife in my pack. 3in Spyderco does 95% of what I need done.

    Attic venting

    Ridge vent along with soffit vents immediately changed the heat transfer of my old house. Seemed to help both summer and winter. No sure why they were not installed during construction.

    Rope!!!

    550 paracord in a length long enough to hang food and camp supplies high enough to keep out of reach of varmints and enough to hang 4 quarters is about 50-75 feet from what I’ve experienced. If I’m truck camping and not worried about weight I usually have some larger rope around as well.

    Wyoming Units

    I would agree with previous comments about switching to rifle asap once it opens, trying to bowhunt during the rifle season gets old quick. But I’m not a diehard bowhunter and just enjoy elk hunting any way I can.

    Upgrading from Vortex to Swaro - Why?

    I bite the bullet and bought the Swaro’s about 7 years ago. I think it improved my glassing like others have mentioned, by lessening eye fatigue. Now I need to upgrade my spotter!

    Just got him back - what do you think he scores?

    149” would be my best guess.

    Colorado Elk 4th Season Rifle

    A lot of places in Colorado will be snow free or have less than 6 inches during 4th season. But always the chance of big storms moving through.

    What does a bull track look like?

    Tracking elk is a good way to get familiar with the difference in bull tracks and habits vs cows and calves habits. They are definitely not the same most of the time.
