    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    Need? No. But I'll be taking mine. I did fine last year 3rd season without but it woulda been nice to have the stove

    Elk? Creatures of habit?

    Yes elk are creatures of habit. Including when they are pressured. They may not come back once pressured out because they've found other safe havens. If those safe havens have everything they need, they stay unless pressured out.

    16B NM Archery Hunt

    Been my experience as well. They seem to make loops. Dirt tanks are the catalysts.

    16B NM Archery Hunt

    Sounds like a horrible experience Mike. I've hunted B a half dozen times. Alot of people think there's an elk behind every tree in the wilderness. Just not the case. I'm fortunate in that the areas I hunt seem to have elk everytime. I've been there scouting and set cameras and don't see anything...

    Hi im Gerbdog, and i have a raghorn problem - recap

    Ha my buddy Gregg (gselkhunter when he was on the forums) used a plastic tabogen sled and would tie the meat down and let it go until it came to a stop and repeat that down the mountain. Glad you found an easier way down.

    Where is Elk Nut?

    He sold his business and passed it on to the younger generation. What they are doing with it is anyone's guess. I'm grateful he was active in my prime. Learned a ton from him. I've also learned a ton from some great elk killers on the various forums and a great elk killer here in NM. The one...

    BLM Land for Elk

    Sounds just like where I'll be hunting in A few days minus the BLM. Interested to hear how that plays out if you hunt that stuff. I attempted to hunt it a few years ago, and there were elk in the brush. Problem was I was heard, seen or smelled or all 3 and never laid eyes on the elk. I spent...

    How full do you run your pack?

    I have a bigger bag and only take what I need for the day. Kill kit, water, food, GPS and sidearm. Depending on the weather I may or may not take rain gear. No need for extras

    S NM Rut timing

    I'm assuming you're hunting the Gila. It's not uncommon to get into some hot action up to the 4th. Other than that, you'll likely be hunting silent elk for the most part until around the 10th when you should hear a few vocal elk and it should get better at the end of your hunt vocally. Just...

    Elk Late Scouting Risk vs. Reward

    The obvious is you risk moving the elk into the next unit. You know what they say. “No risk no reward”. I will also say i set my camp up this weekend and didn’t even think about walking into the area i will be hunting.

    What changes are you making this season?

    I changed tents out of necessity. While attending Ohio Bike Week, The tent got soaked in a driving rain and the zippers got caught. I was in the tent and had no choice but to rip it open. So far very happy with the Argali 4P TeePee

    First Time Elk Hunters

    I'll never forget my first elk hunt. I stumbled onto it pretty much due to fate. In 2007 I had killed a big forked mule deer 1st thing in the morning, opening morning. Had no clue what the internet was at the time and not sure if I even had a cell phone. As I was shoulder deep inside that deer...

    Half Floors for Rincon 2P and Absaroka 4P

    I got the half floor for the Absaroka. Love it. Plenty of room for the solo hunter. Enough room for 2 easily. However I ain't having another dude crawling over me to get out. I'd go floorless if having another hunter in the tent
