    Flying meat home?

    Just check in with delta flying back with a caribou. I used a yeti hopper and a cheap Walmart backpack cooler for my carry on and personal item with my frozen meat in it.

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    My friends that were able to go had a good hunt. Nothing killed but saw a couple bulls just sounded like wasn’t a good shot opportunity. I was unfortunately unable to go.

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    No to all of that lol. I was fortunate enough to get a couple months training up in Bridgeport California. Not hunting related at all but a lot of hikes at various distances at somewhat reasonable elevation. I think most was 8-9k feet some higher up to 11k was the highest I went I think maybe...

    Thanks! It can be hard for a new guy to axe a cool new piece of gear from the list without hearing it from someone else. I figure the bear, especially only dedicating a day or two solely to a bear is probably slim anyway. I had a coworker have a bear close by last year during her elk hunt not...

    I appreciate it, and I promise you if there’s one thing I know it’s that I don’t know anything about elk and people here do. That’s after all why I came here. But I reciprocate respect based off the here and now and not past accomplishments. I’d rather talk to someone who has 5 years of elk...

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    About the 12 days? Yeah with 12 days my pack weight would be around 65lbs. While I can carry that, I’d prefer to be lighter. My goal has been 50 is. Think I’m at 55 now bow and food. I have a 65mm spotting scope and tripod in that too. My thoughts with that have been probably won’t help for elk...

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    Thanks, discussed this yesterday with another forum member about that prob not being realistic. This is the exact stuff I’m trying to learn before the hunt. Working on E-scouting several units to the best of our ability. Obviously we’ll scout every place we can hunt in the area and mark...

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    The dumb question was, bc I know reading is hard, what are you going to do on day 2 of 12 when you’re hiking around with a 65lb pack.?Obviously the answer is keep hunting. It’s a dumb question. You’re even dumber if you don’t realize that. I know you can talk shit better than that? At least talk...

    Thanks for the advice! Definitely trying to go get on some antelope next year, which I know seems ass backwards for learning the west. But trying to talk your friends into antelope over elk can be a hard sell. I appreciate your insight. Looking forward to getting out there and learning. It is...

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    Yes, I have a detailed gear list accounting for every ounce of gear and food counting every calorie for every day. Contrary to what most of these folks have said, I have been spending a lot of time preparing for this. But asking if I’m doing it right is clearly a cause of consternation...

    You asked a dumb question and got a dumb response. I’ve never claimed to know it all. The only people that have made assumptions are the people wanting to chime in which a dck response to seem like a cool guy on the internet.

    I can post pins of the places in those units I saw elk when I get back if that would be helpful to the “community”? I don’t want anyone to miss out on this honey hole!

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    Oh I gathered that already. Mostly bc I don’t have my internet badge of wisdom yet. I still got a lot more posts so it will say “we’ll known rokslider” then I’ll have the right idea. Seriously though, y’all sitting here trying to be smart asses is great. Mostly bc you’re just babbling dumb...

    Colorado archery elk, first hunt

    Got to be careful how I say things around these parts but yes I had initially planned on packing in for the 12 days. I think that plan has scaled back to maybe packing food for 7 days and then going from there. With the obvious of being flexible. Definitely seems from the maps some units and...

    Even if no one gave me any advice I’d still be hunting there . Wouldn’t change the amount of people in that unit during those dates.
