    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I have a set of Badlands with Bamboo and Lyrca I got a few years ago off Camofire on close out - they don't make them anymore. I have a set of Firstlite Merino bottoms I put over them if it is real cold. Any light weight bottoms will work as the base layer but I love the Badlands as they are...

    Douglas Mountain

    I know this is a long shot, but seeing if anyone out there is familiar with GMU 2. CPW just notified me that I am in line for a Mulie 3rd season that someone turned in. I would love to talk offline with anyone about the area. I know winter kill was bad in that area as I am familiar with...

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    I wear light weight base tops and bottoms all season for moisture management. They are thin and lightweight, like a second skin, and really help with wicking. I stay cooler when it is hot and warmer when it is cold. If it gets really cold, I put on some heavyweight base bottoms over them. I...

    The Slow Play Breeding Sequence!

    Paul is the one and only True Elknut. I happened to to kill my best 6x6 bull a few years ago with the slow play. It wasn't the bugling that pulled the bull in but the other sounds of grunting, panting, raking and glunking as Paul instructed. I've watched most of Paul's videos, even the old...

    What's something you wish you would have learned sooner in life

    Prostaff - I say live the dream. I grew up in a small WY town and left for school, and lived in a lot of places for the military, jobs and the family - all were cities. I have a great job because of it but, at heart, I am a small town kid and dream of being able to earn a good wage in a small...

    Let my ONx expire. Anyone using GoHunt? good and the bad?

    I know Gaia has increased their price but IMHO if you just need mapping, private/public, and roads and trails, it is still cheaper than onX or GoHunt. Gaia also has a bunch of useful layers like slope, snowfall, cell coverage, and nautical and others that I sometimes use. Tried both OnX and...

    Let my ONx expire. Anyone using GoHunt? good and the bad?

    Check out Gaia if you don't need hunting statistics and just need maps and overlays. The premium with all features is reasonably priced.

    Old guys packing elk!!,

    Everything everyone said is on point. Debone and make 4-5 trips carrying a quarter each trip, which will be 35-45 lbs depending on the size and front or rear quarters. I prefer to shuttle the meat. I take my time and avoid exhausting myself the first half, which is easy to do. I pack a...

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    There are a lot of differing opinions and views: ranchers, animal advocates, conservationist, hunters, residents, non residents, biologists, and others. I think it is healthy to debate the issues and to consider differing viewpoints. Here is a recent article for a different perspective -...

    Do you still have 300 savage brass? Any Winchester brass or is it all Remington? I am definitely interested if Winchester.

    Moving out West

    My only advice is no matter what you decide, do it while you are single. Once you get married, having a family and other responsibilities makes the freedom of doing what you want, living where you want and moving when you want much more difficult. Not to say it cannot be done, and there are...

    Drinking Nothing but Water for a Full Year

    While I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory that correlation always means causation, with Soda there was definitely something going on. I don't remember at what age I began drinking Soda. It was the 70s so it was advertised and sold everywhere At around 10 or 11, I started getting nose...

    Seating depth - does it even matter?

    Reading though the posts and articles makes my head hurt. For most hunting situations at average distances within 200-300 yds, who gets more than 3 shots at an animal out of a cold barrel? Elk don't care about 10 shot groups off a bench in perfect weather conditions. Hunting situations have...

    Which do you think is hunted harder OTC archery or Rifle in CO

    Not doubt but 1st rifle season draw only with 2nd and 3rd rifle season having a bunch of OTC units. On the other hand, there is a lot of OTC archery units and some of the draw units don't take a bunch of points, so it is not a parallel comparison between Archery and 1st rifle season. I took...

    Which do you think is hunted harder OTC archery or Rifle in CO

    Depends on whether you are talking about 2nd, 3rd or 4th season rifle. Early seasons have more hunters but the later seasons tend to be less because of weather, which presents a different set of challenges when hunting Elk.

    Using Slightly Spoiled Meat

    Hereinaz has the best explanation of the relationship between all the major factors for keeping meat from rotting. He must either be a physician or forensic coroner 😊. His theory on uneven cooling in coolers is correct. Meat covered in layers of ice are chilled more evenly in a cooler, and...
