I'd be curious too. I've hunted the South Slope during Rifle, tons of pressure during rifle. I would expect much less during archery though but if I had a do-over I would check out the North slope. I'm not too concerned though as I'm going to Montana this year but still curious.
I have done the Any bull any weapon hunt but not the spike hunt. But I think the spike hunt is also (Any Weapon) and takes place in Early Oct. So while you could use a bow you would be better off with a rifle for the spike hunt.
The archery hunt I was talking about is for Elk and I believe...
There is always Utah OTC (Any Bull any weapon) or Utah archery. There are a bunch of open units. Or you can Hunt a spike bull only in the LE units OTC. I don't know if they raised prices this year but previously Utah was the Lowest cost Bull tag in the US that I know of. OTC Tags available...
I think my interpretation may have turned out to be pretty close to right which surprises me but I was just guessing he was talking point weight and not spine as I never heard of those kind of spine weights. I shoot some Victory RIP TKO arrows also in the same spine weight (350) and I'm...
Save your money for next year and Go DIY Rifle Any Bull hunt in Utah. Hike into the High Uinta wilderness area. Hunt is early Oct so some elk are still bugling. Tags are OTC but limited in number. They go on sale in July but you best be online the first morning they go on sale. I think...
NMFramed,
I had sent BlackOvis a email on your behalf over the weekend in order to try to help you out. They just emailed me back asking me for your name as they said no one emailed them from this weekend with that issue, but I don't have that info of course. If you send me a PM with your...
I'm sure some hunters over do it with what we bring but most of us are aware of the cost of the extra weight and we have our individual reasons for doing so. I go out west from NC. When I leave NC the average daily temp in the fall is probably in the 80's and the highs more than that. I get...
If a person's Idea of a backpack is to be able to stuff everything inside it you need in it for a week long pack in, it probably is a bit small. For me, when packing in, I have this foam sleeping mat I lay on. It's just not going in a pack unless all I want in the pack is the mat. So I hang...
I kinda get where your going I think. If you are saying you have a 350 spine arrow and go to a slightly heavier draw weight from 65-70lb and a slightly heavier arrow point by 25gn, will you need to get a heavier spined arrow? Is that what you are asking? If so you may have to go to a 300...
I wouldn't sit too long on that fence. Summer will soon be here and hikers will be pulling backpacks off the shelf even at regular prices and companies will have less need to offer a sale anytime soon.
Join the crowd. We all find ways to screw up. Hopefully Blackovis will be gratefull for the sale of 2 packs and help you out. They seem like good folks at that company. Leave a message with them if you haven't already? Let us know how you made out after contacting them and good luck.
I'm 70 and this is my first pack actually designed for hunting and my first pack actually designed halfway properly to carry a real load so I'm thinking I'm going to like it pretty well too. They have made some positive upgrades for 2020 and the free matching Sitka pack cover is a great bonus.
That is true. Go hunt even if you don't find a partner as you could find one while hunting or meet some near where you camp. It's not a bad idea sometimes to camp near other hunters even if you don't hunt with them as you can kind of look out for each other to some extent. In life with every...
