    New hunter intimated to call elk.

    You can never be sure what tactic will work best, but you have to be ready to do whatever is needed. How will you ever know if bugling works if you don’t blow it? Nobody going to know if they sound bad, but you. I like to bugle. They don’t all sound good, but they all sound good enough.

    Do you only grind your own wild game?

    The ability to grind when you want makes owning your own grinder worth the cost. On Monday I thawed 7lbs of deboned elk from 2022 and ground in 2lbs bacon for burgers. 3/4 hp from cabelas works as fast as I can feed it. Both meats were ice cold. Grind, mix, grind. 10-15 minutes. Clean up takes...

    Considering Switching to Full Synthetic Oil

    I used conventional oil @5k miles until couple years ago. Got hard to find conventional at the store. Switched to full synthetic and bumped interval to 6500-7500 miles.

    Ever have to carry your dog off a trail?

    Sounds like cramp to me. I’m going to assume OP is familiar enough with his dog to recognize if it was struggling with heat exhaustion.

    Holy cow bow season is close.

    Good luck in there @11boo. Hope things work out for your wife. First time in long time I have a back up bow. No CO this year, drew WY.

    Am I the only one who hates RF pouches on Bino Harnesses?

    Individual preferences very interesting. I have had my RF in a case on my right side harness strap for as long as I can remember. S4 Gear, original Kuiu, SG, Kifaru, SG. On there all year and always wear it, any hunting or just hiking. Never notice it or even think about it until I want to...

    Help me with a dilemma

    Somebody most likely could help you with the what price question. But none of us can tell you which pack is better for you. The guys above explained the how, you’re going to have to figure that one out for yourself.

    No butt / Pack fit

    I also thought in the pic with your bow, the belt looks too low. Pic where you’re hiking looks like pretty substantial gap between shoulder and strap.

    Tree ID?

    Lot of storm debris clean up yesterday. This leaf at our shop front door like a welcome mat. Shag bark hickory. Of no importance really, just made me think of this thread.

    Colorado second season boot insulation

    You’re on the verge of overthinking. Buy a pair 200-600. Take both. Make a decision at the truck based on weather forecast. You won’t die if your feet are cold or if they sweat. Nice thing about elk hunting, if your feet get cold, can always go for a hike.

    Colorado second season boot insulation

    Kind of. I don't have any, but I've tried my buddy's, which I believe are GooseFeet Gear. He had the down booty and they're warm, for sitting ONLY. Can put a hand warmer pad in too. He had their overboot too. Slides over down booty for walking around. By that I mean walking around a...

    OnX Elevation Lookup

    Great question. Really odd. I have elevation for approximately 1/4 of my waypoints. All of mine are created, no imports. @onX Hunt

    Tree ID?

    Not Hickory or Pecan. Individual leaflets along petiole in pic are alternately spaced. They'd be opposite for Hickory and Pecan.
