Tonneau covers

I had a Jackrabbit on my previous F-150 and was very happy with it. I have a Retrax on my current one and am happy with it as well. Between the two is a bit of a toss up - IMHO, both are really good. The downside to the hard top retractable is that you lose some bed space, but for me it is...

Grouse..

I put mine in a small game bag that I carry in case I manage to get a Grouse! In the area I hunt it seems to be every other year is either a bumper crop or bust!

Grouse..

I've never had an issue with the meat spoiling even after shooting a Grouse early on a warm Sept day in CO. One thing, check your regs as CO for example requires you to keep a wing attached while in the field.

Best backpacking belt

+1 for the First Lite Belt. Thin enough that I don't have any issues, even with a pack on.

Have you killed an elk in the rain?

I haven't actually killed an Elk in the rain, but have had a couple of the best elk hunting days in my life chasing them in the rain! ~2 years ago I was out in a complete downpour (not typical in CO) in the wee hours. The Elk were going nuts with multiple bulls with cows sounding off all...

Iron will wide vs solid

I've been shooting Iron Wills for a few years now - Love them! I've tried both solid and vented and to be honest I can't tell any difference. I'm sure the solids are quieter, but I for one don't think it's night and day between the two. I'm planning to use the Wide this year as I'm all for a...

Skinning

+1 for the knife. I don't have the saw, but the knife works well and I prefer it over the Havalon as it's much more durable and the larger size / weight (still not overly heavy) makes it easier to manipulate (IMHO).

What Arrow Puller

My .02 .. lubing up shafts of carbon arrows makes a world of difference! I have used the Arrowjac and it does work, but it can still be challenging and IMHO isn't worth the $$. For something affordable and portable, I will second the DD Arrow puller. But again, lube your arrows and your life...

Deer Processor around Denver area

I have used Steve's and they are very good .. but pricey and you're not getting back your animal. +1 for 5280, which I have used the past two years. Less expensive (compared to Steve's), great quality and you get your animal(s) back. They do take a bit longer, so for Burger/Sausage/Jerky...

New Bow Setup Help

I am shooting the RX-4 Ultra as well. I have the 70-80# limbs. I will say that the RX-4 cam isn't as easy for me to draw as my RX-1, which is like butter and seemingly effortless at 70#. I have shot my RX-4 at 80#, but it was more challenging for awkward) sitting flat on your butt with legs...
