    Kifaru Made in America?

    So I was just checking out the website under the heading "About" It claims everything is made in America. Then I saw where it said "material sourced in America, where possible". That's a red herring for me. For so long I believed Kifaru was 100% sourced and made in USA. Are there any 100...

    Elk/Mule Deer draw strategy

    No thanks. I prefer to figure it out on my own. Been doing it since I started this elk hunting addiction. It's part of getting the whole experience. Don't need to "pay to play". I view that as lazy. Incidentally I've been very successful drawing tags on my own. I get the total satisfaction. From...

    Elk/Mule Deer draw strategy

    I will never "pay to play" using a tag service of any kind. I will also not "pay to play" using Gohunt or any of the other sites who do all the homework. Part of the fun and joy of hunting for me is figuring it out for myself and doing my own homework. No matter which state I hunt. Here in New...

    Kifaru Warranty Not What It Used To Be

    We shall see how long that lasts with Vista once they are sold off to The Excaliber group aka the Czech group. I hear the 2 have agreed to a price for the sale.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    I'd go with the Absaroka 4p tent. The 2p was to small for me by myself but the 4p will work for 2

    Question about nonresident land owner in New Mexico

    Yes I would think there would have to be agricultural/depredation issues involved. If that's truly the case then depredation tags "could" possibly be issued

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    I was at the range and the guy next to me had a 28 Nosler. I felt the concussion 6' away. I have no doubt wherever you hit an animal, he's going down with the 28. And if he gets back up, he's not going anywhere very fast while you put another one in him.

    WANTED: Your Top 5 Base Camp Tips or Hacks

    I heard that. My first couple elk hunts here in NM, I thought for sure my deer hunting wannabe elk hunter buddies would want to go and be part of the experience. Well they never have and I embraced the solo hunts from the start. Since then, there's just something about doing it all myself from...

    How many of you guys are just sitting your hunt?

    My 1 and only Ohio whitetail hunt lasted about 3 hours in a ladder stand over some kind of mineral block that had all kinds of corn, oats and whatever else was stuck to it. Made a great 14 yard shot and a short 25 yard recovery. I found that hunt quite enjoyable! I'd do it again and I would...

    How many of you guys are just sitting your hunt?

    This is a great post illustrating there is more than 1 way to skin an elk. Sitting is just 1 way I've killed elk proving it works in certain situations. I would also say that you shouldn't pigeon hole yourself into 1 way of hunting. Another aspect I've personally learned from others and...

    Elk killed by Council Bluffs, IA

    There was an elk struck on I 40 near Clines Corners last weekend. An area not known for having elk, but it doesn't surprise me. There are elk in areas not too far away and lots of open range from the mountains for him to of gotten there
