    Wilderness hunt

    Wilderness areas aren’t always the best habitat or hunting. Do yourself a favor and forget wilderness. There are great places to go back country hunting that aren’t technically “designated wilderness”.

    Birds. Always first on the scene. Ravens, magpies, and grey jays aka camp robbers or whiskey jacks.

    Grave digger Chisel Tip broadhead didn’t open

    That head obviously slammed into something pretty solid. Most heads have some kind of a split furrule otherwise how would you attach the blades? But I will definitely take that over moving parts. Moving parts are the weak link in any machine. Hope you’re up there killing stuff RoosieBull!

    2023 DIY Muley from PA

    Wall tents are the way to go. That one is an 8x8 spike tent made of synthetic material. Only weighs 15 lbs so I can backpack it. I keep forgetting my woodstove on the mountain. 😉

    What does a bull track look like?

    There are more important things to learn. And you don’t “track“ elk. You do look for sign and call and glass to locate. But if you’re in good elk country, there will be tracks heading in both directions. It’s more important to learn the lay of the land and try to figure out where the elk are...

    What's Your Elk Hunting Weakness?

    I’m surprised to hear you say that Paul. Morning hunts or so often based on where you left off the night before. I don’t care if I kill a bowl in the evening, I just like to know where they’re at. I do know that you, Paul Junior, and Clayton are out there in the middle of the night locating...

    6.5 for elk

    Lmao. Take all of those books and stack them up a couple feet thick. Maybe put a couple pieces of rebar between the pages. Then shoot some different bullets through them. Your research should take about 30 minutes max. Better yet go shoot elk. Play it safe and start with the heaviest caliber...

    Son drew National Elk Refuge permit this weekend!

    It’s too early for the refuge. A beautiful place to be but if you are all about killing elk you might be disappointed.

    Good Colorado Bull

    Herd bull for sure. What caliber did you shoot that heavy weight bullet from? I’m a fan of rounds like that. They make for dead elk instead of just a hunting story. Congratulations!

    To all the experts

    But hunting will NEVER solve the problem. Trapping is more effective. One thing is for sure…. if you want to try to save your elk and deer do NOT pass up any opportunity to do what’s right.

    To all the experts

    3 1/2 inches is small for a wolf but big for a coyote. I think wolf but it’s not certain. That lack of elk might suggest wolf. Stories like this are going to become common in Colorado elk Connors are going to free to other states. The wolf situation in Colorado is going to cause a mess...
