    Am I the only one?

    So my question to everyone is how do you find other people to do these trips with? I'm originally from Ohio but moved south in 95. As someone mentioned, Join the RMEF. Awesome organization! Go to the annual banquet. Also local gun club or wildlife club. There is a chance of meeting someone...

    BroadHeads for Elk hunting

    I just saw some (New to me) broadheads out of Australia yesterday that look like they could be a good choice for cheap. Cheap anyway compared to the Iron Wills and Day 6. They look similar to the Iron Wills in that they have a Tatoo style blade. They are made by Alien Archery. I liked the...

    Montana Elk Hunt

    I don't live in Montana either but may do both as I'm retired. But I would much more like to take a Elk during Archery so I wouldn't have to be away from Wife for so long (shuuu, it's really the dog I'll miss). Also it seems more special to me for some reason to take one with the bow. I look...

    2020 Montana Nonresident Big Game Combination Odds

    I bought the preference point and a bonus point. This was my first time applying for the Montana Nonresident Combo License and fortunately I drew the combo tag. So maybe buying the preference point helped? Probably didn't hurt since I drew except to my wallet.

    In the Market for a new Mystery Ranch Pack - This may be your sign?

    Hi, I'm not a seller of packs or associated with BlackOvis but I had been looking for a pack for a while and had kinda settled on a Mystery Ranch Metcalf Hunting Pack. I am not here to debate whether this is the best pack out there or not, just thought I would post this because BlackOvis has...

    What Archery Sight for Elk hunting?

    I appreciate everyone's input. Though I liked the Spot Hog a lot just not enough to change my mind. I looked at the Option 4 and 6 and they look great but the price starting at 400 dollars is kinda steep in price but I did like the option a lot of hiding all the pins but one at the flick of a...

    What Archery Sight for Elk hunting?

    Thanks. I agree that I might not have time to adjust the sight which is what got me to looking at 3 pins to start with. I also looked at trying the trick pin method but even in it's less complicated form with building a large target with tape and a target I feel asleep halfway through the...

    What Archery Sight for Elk hunting?

    That is something I also considered and am a little negative about as well. My present site has 3 pins and they line up behind each other so pins coming out from the side is also a concern for me as well. Though I've never used one but spot hog sight users seem to love them so I rank spot hog...

    What Archery Sight for Elk hunting?

    I haven't archery hunted for Elk in a few years and planning to buy a new Sight for my Bow as I'm getting ready for a Montana Archery Elk hunt. Initially I was thinking HHA single pin slider but I am now looking at getting a Black Gold Mountain lite custom by S&S. Three pin, 6" Dovetail, gang...

    Would a side arm be necessary? Also what caliber?

    Is a side arm necessary for Colorado? No, not necessary. For Montana- would be good to have.

    BroadHeads for Elk hunting

    No offence taken. I feel a solid cut on contact 2 blade broadhead like the Day 6 offers a stronger blade set up with more potential for surviving a heavy bone hit like the shoulder of an Elk than a slick trick. I also feel it has a better potential to penetrate a large bone and keep on going...

    BroadHeads for Elk hunting

    Like a lot of things it's up to the shooter. There are god knows how many brands of Broadheads out there. They rank from not so good for Elk hunting to the best you can buy. I'm no expert for sure but I read a lot and, see a lot of videos and trust certain folks to tell it like it is. If you...

    OTC Elk Hunt Cost - Guys from the East Coast

    AS to the nap, very true. Sometimes I nap an hour and sometimes up to 3 hours. Sometimes I can drive 18 hours before a rest but other times it can be much less. Either way if I find myself falling asleep I do two things. I start looking for a rest stop and I start doing what I have found in...

    Thanks much for sharing the hunt!

    OTC Elk Hunt Cost - Guys from the East Coast

    I'm retired and like to take lots of gear and camp so I drive. This year I have a younger working hunting partner so the plan is for me to drive (I would anyway), carry most of his gear and pick him up at the nearest Airport to the hunt location. I would get there a few days earlier as it will...

    Arrow testing with .204ID arrows

    If you never used a heat gun they come in real handy for a lot of applications. You can buy one pretty cheap at Northern tool or Harbor freight.

    Arrow testing with .204ID arrows

    I'm shooting some .204 ID Victory RIP and RIP TKO's using the stainless victory inserts held in with Arrow brand, Super Power, slow setting hot melt glue. The model No is BSS6-4. I've shot them into bags, into an old dried up deer target that's hard as heak to pull arrows out of and had no...

    Hunting Colorado Elk 2nd Season From Ohio

    Garret: I haven't hunted Colorado since 2012 so I'm not for sure but I think I heard they have a early rifle season also but not sure if it's available to Non-residents. What part of Ohio are you from Garret if you don't mind? I'm originally from the Central Ohio area, specifically...

    Another Covid 19 Tragedy

    Seems like they wouldn't have to give it away, just offer discounted price and home deliver.

    Another Covid 19 Tragedy

    Just a few minutes ago I heard there was another Covid 19 Tragedy. Some local beer (Raleigh NC) has gone bad? That really is a preventable problem, just make the public aware or donate it to one of the local military bases and problem solved. Plenty of us would be fine with drinking while...
