Nick,
I know you've probably seen plenty of propaganda regarding the SLIP System on the OTHER site...LOL. I've hunted in some of the worst country and conditions with these units over the last 3 years.
One of the greatest advantages for lopes is the ability to switch to the Moo Cow...
I vacuum pack them down in individual bags...they compress pretty small, and you can trim the bags down.
Then I just pack two empty MH bags to cook them in...you can re-use them over and over.
After hunting elk for quite a few years now, I believe that statistic. I think a small percentage of (experienced) hunters take the majority of the elk each Season.

We've been using the double sleeping bag method for many years...we pile the meat up in garbage bags on a double sleeping bag (the old heavy style large bags) and put dry ice on top, and wrap it up like a giant burrito. On a two day trip, the bottom quarters are mostly frozen by the time you...

Well Kenny, good to see you on Rokslide :)
I just joined up a couple days ago. Sounds like we will have a good variety of calls covered...I will be using several diaphragms (Bugling Bull- The Closer and the Mellow Yellow) with a Little Chuckler Tube.
I also have a Knight and Hale External...
Sorry these are my first postings, I joined Rokslide a couple days ago, and I just saw this thread. I'd be happy to provide any specific info about our gear.
Best of Luck,
Jeff

The decoy and camo covers change out in less than a minute (there are 22 Slipcovers available for the unit)
Here's a video geared toward elk hunting that...
