i am a fan of the starkist tuna pouches, beef sticks, paydays (the do not melt when its hot). I like taking a wrap over sandwich as they are less prone to getting smashed.
Depends on who you ask. Overall, I would say the majority point to the week of Thanksgiving as being the peak rut. IMO there will be rut behavior occuring anytime after the 10th till the end of the season.
We planned our hunt week for the final days of the season this year.
I have eaten a few of the readywise meals that I got for around $5 a meal and am not super impressed. Mtn house, peak and backpackers pantry taste much better but at over twice the price I don't mind eating the ready wise while in the Backcountry.
Thinking I want to try rattling or calling during the rut this November. Seems like it may be effective as not too many people use calls around here. Anybody had any luck doing so in North Idaho or surrounding areas? Are the basics the same as what the guys back east do?

Anybody else have problems with their battery life when using OnX tracker?
My phone battery lasts maybe 8-10 hours when I turn the tracker on even while in low power mode and airplane mode. Usually my phone battery lasts 24 hours. I have a Google pixel 6 but also had this issue on my previous...
Pretty new to the archery elk thing so this probably a dumb question but... when you stop in a "good place" to make location calls, how many cow calls and/or location bugles are you doing?
Is it simply one Bugle and done or are you doing a few cow calls followed by a couple bugles. I don't want...

Hoffman insulated Hunter (800g)
