    Let’s see/hear what’s in your quiver this year

    I love my ToA, have you tried the new S-Series (solid)?

    Anybody get their Idaho return tag today?

    RMEF actually addressed the elk population in their most recent edition of Bugle. Sure, wolves have had an impact but there are several other issues at play. RMEF didn’t talk about human population growth either, the urban sprawl from Missoula through the Bitterroot Valley must be influencing...

    Opinions on First Lite gear for archery Elk season

    A different perspective of the Sawtooth Jacket… I absolutely love this piece of clothing and it rarely comes off during the month of September, especially cause I don’t tend to harvest until the last week. I purchased the jacket a size larger than my typically FL gear, which they recommend...

    Gaia - favorite layer combos

    I have only been using GAIA for a little over a month but have been a fan of Satellite by MapQuest, GAIA Topo, Nat Geo Maps Illustrated and / or USGS Topo, I have also found Slope Angle can be beneficial to find bedding areas in thick trees since you can identify benches easier

    Final Gear List for Colorado

    Since you are bringing a Grayl, why a water bladder and a Nalgene? Is the bladder to hold non-purified water?

    AAE Vanes Comparison

    Any tips on applying vanes with helical? I started dabbling with helical last week and I had to reel it in because the front tip wasn’t making good contact.

    What vanes do you all use?

    4 fletch, slight right helical with AAE Hybrid 26. A switch I recently made was using the AAE glue from Bohning and it is amazing how much better the AAE applies glue

    Shoot fatigued!

    A great way I’ve figured out when I don’t have time to do a hike before shooting is jump rope. Gets the heart rate racing in under three minutes

    New to Idaho looking at Unit 39

    Another solid way to link up with people is attending some 3D shoots in the greater area. Thankfully TAC doesn’t come here but there are ample shoots put on by local organizations

    The effect of limited licenses on units that were once OTC

    Nice fear mongering. Elk survived before wolves went extinct and have adapted to the reintroduction. Sure it takes time but they’re a natural predator yet based on the fact they’re a keystone species they’re vital to the ecosystem. One aspect many states have floundered in is managing wolf...

    Gas Prices & DIY NR Hunters

    And I thought the high school students I teach are ego-centric. While Ukraine may not directly influence your life, this offensive surge may give China incentive and the rationale they need to make a move on Taiwan. Sure the US can’t help every demographic around the world in need, but imposing...

    A group has hacked into Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi (like Netflix) and several Live Russian TV Channels and is steaming Ukraine footage.

    This the complication within journalism. We want to trust the frontline journalists with the footage being provided yet it becomes nearly impossible to fact check in a timely manner, especially if you want to be the first to release it. Then add in the concept of social media and the entire...

    Anybody rucking?

    What I’ve done in the past is slit the opening and pour the sand into a five gallon bucket. Start with 20lbs and work my way up. Use the pack to do high steps too to develop more leg strength. You do. It want to mess your back up by straining it because you will be set back weeks if not longer...

    Eberlestock hip belts

    I am in a similar predicament. Do you happen to know if K3 for K2 hip belt system would work?

    What is “backcountry” to you?

    Here is a question I have: what are you willing to share with the people you come across? I started archery hunting six years ago and was fortunate enough that my brother-in-law shared his zone with me before being stationed in AK the year I started hunting. Few people go to this zone and a...

    The ‘Truth Train’

    Free speech where the user needs approval before being admitted entrance? To consider any social media another version of The Great Awakening initially seems offensive then you think of how Twitter, Reddit, and other apps have shared live coverage from Turkey, Hong Kong, and these platforms...

    How can I become a better hunter?

    Disappointing to see units I know screenshotted on here. In the future, make it less obvious. The area you are hunting is getting an immense amount of pressure, even if you are “off trail”, the elk get pushed all over. Two years ago I did some preseason scouting the weekend before opener in one...

    Thoughts on Prime Inline colors

    I purchased a Nexus in morel and couldn’t be happier with the color. I wouldn’t purchase a bow merely because of color but it transitions nicely from sun to shade, not that it would ever stand out.

    New to backcountry hunting!

    As others have stated boots should come first with a pack and base layers to follow to ensure your comfort level. I’d also suggest talking with your group about water filtration. If I am going bivy camping I use a Sawyer Squeeze with a Smart Water bottle. Longer trips I take my Katadyn Gravity...
