    Signing up with guide services: What questions to ask during the phone call.

    This x100. 99% of outfitters have a blood on the ground policy. The animals are a resource that the outfitter depends on. Outfitters can’t afford to let every Tom, Dick, and Harry go into the field wounding animals.

    Signing up with guide services: What questions to ask during the phone call.

    I think it normal, but most reputable outfitters will refund if something out of your control came up.

    Better to Draw a tag to hunt every couple years? Or wait to cash in big at hard to draw area?

    I was being a bit facetious. That said… Numbers… 10 years ago there was not anywhere near the amount of hunters in the field. Now, 95% of license plates you see at any given trailhead in an OTC unit in Colorado are from Texas. Particularly, in southern OTC units. I bet it’s part of reason...

    Better to Draw a tag to hunt every couple years? Or wait to cash in big at hard to draw area?

    I’ve been with people who burned 20point and came home to a nice cold bowl of tag soup to eat. Opportunities mean more to me than hope of one day getting that mythical 400inch elk. My hunting life has been about learning. And learning comes from putting boots on sides of mountains. That...

    Aim Low on Elk for Archery?

    I have always been of the opinion it is better to miss low than high.

    Darn Tough vs. Smartwool

    Smartwool socks and base layers for me. That said, if I saw a good deal on darn tough, I'd not hesitate to get.

    Quiver on your hip

    I use a tarantula hip quiver in certain circumstances and love it. My only complaint is I can’t use with my 4mm arrows. It’s cheap too. Tarantula Maq Multiple Attachment Quiver (Camo) https://a.co/d/bbBeLgn

    If you could only give one piece of advice to a new elk hunter, what would it be?

    Learn that elk aren’t whitetail and whitetail tactics will probably result in you eating tag soup…
