clothing recomendations
It may not fit your budget right now, but Sitka's Fanatic system is pretty tough to beat for temperatures from 30-0 degrees. It's not bulky and it's extremely quiet and warm. It may be something that you would be able to piece together throughout the next few years! If you were to go that route...- 1shotgear

Kenetrek Reconditioning
Kenetrek's reconditioning program is great! They will basically make your boots brand new. After 6-7 years of use it would absolutely be worth the $175. -
Floorless Vs. Floor
A floored tent would be a much better option than a tipi/stove setup for that time of year. You will either have heavy rain, heavy bugs, or both for most of the trip. We have been running the Stone Glacier Skyscraper as our primary floored shelter for the past few years and have had great results! -
Dang...I Got the 10x42s!
10x42 is probably the most versatile bino size! You are going to love those Conquests! -
Custom Turret and Elevation
It depends on the rangefinder you are using. Some modern range finders will give you the corrected shoot to yardage on your turret based on your current elevation. If your range finder falls into that category than it doesn't really matter what elevation you go with. If not, you could either get... -
7RM short range hunting performance
If you aspire to learn how to shoot past 400 yards then get the 7mm Rem Mag and you will hammer everything within 400 yards until you learn to shoot further. HSM makes factory ammo loaded with 168 Berger VLDs. That's the same bullet that Gunwerks, Red Rock Percision, and many other custom... -
early season Rain gear
Sitka's Cloudburst Pant is our go-to early season rain pant! A size medium would probably fit you perfect! -
Sitka or Skre
Both are great jackets, but the Jetstream Jacket definitely wins from a technical standpoint. The Gore Windstopper laminated used in the Jetstream Jacket is an ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluorethylene) laminate, which is essentially the same technology used in fully waterproof GoreTex. The only... -
7RM short range hunting performance
This completely depends on bullet selection rather than caliber. You shouldn't have problems with any typical hunting bullet at that distance, but thin jacketed cup and core bullets such as Bergers or Hornady ELDMs will expand extremely rapidly at those distances. Bonded bullets such as... -
Best loads NOT near max charge odd?
Every barrel will have accuracy nodes. A node is a specific velocity range that will produce consistent vertical dispersion at distance. It sounds like your current load is in one of your barrels lower nodes. If you are interested in finding where your barrel nodes are you should conduct a... -
Is an 85mm spotting scope necessary for Elk hunting?
It depends on the area we are hunting, but 9 times out of 10 a spotting scope is a necessity for our elk hunts. We are huge fans of the ATS 65 for most applications! 85s are nice for hunts in wide open terrain that require extensive hours behind the spotter, but the 65mm works great for most elk... -
Pack comfort
Obviously an 80 pound load is going to be anything but comfortable, but you should not be getting any abnormal pressure points or chaffing from a proper fitting pack. "Comfort" under heavy loads is what really separates great packs from mediocre packs. -
Leica Geovid Binocular Review
If you are a rifle hunter than it's the only way to go! If you do a lot of archery hunting than it can be a bit of a hassle if you are trying to obtain a range mid stalk. -
Leica Geovid Binocular Review
It would be a nice feature to add, but in all reality wind holds provided by range finders will never be spot on anyway. There are too many variables when making a wind call to trust the output value the rangefinder gives you. In my opinion, it would still be a nice feature to have just for a... -
Leica Geovid Binocular Review
You should get ahold of Leica's customer service team! They are top notch. We had some technology issues out of the box on the pair of Geovids we reviewed and they were extremelly helpful! -
7mm 160 accubond - Tested BC
The 0.531 that they advertise on their website is a G1 BC, not a G7. I would think that the G1 B.C. of 0.531 should work for any distance that you would shoot at an animal with an Accubond! If you are trying to shoot animals past 600 yards you might want to think about jumping over to a Berger... -
SE Montana hunters
Shoot us a message, we would be happy to chat about SE Montana! We hunt that area quite often. -
6mm on Elk
I would jump up to a 115 Berger if your barrel will stabilize that big of a bullet! If not, the 87s should get the job done. I would avoid shoulder shots with that small of a bullet. Good luck this season! -
Can you recommend me a tent
Check out the Stone Glacier Skyscraper! It's been our go to tent for the past few years.- 1shotgear

CO OTC vs MT B tag
It might be worth hunting the Montana B tag just so you can get some experience interacting with elk! The experience could help improve your success for future OTC Colorado hunts!
