    What killed this elk?

    I came across this cow last week. There were fresh coyote and lion tracks around as well as an old set of horse and boot tracks. I studied predator kills in college as a wildlife biology major but can’t recall a lion only eating the backstraps. If a hunter shot it and had access to a horse why...

    CO Carcass Cam

    We pack in a LW Alpha to hang over kill sites if we have time. Unfortunately, this bull was shot on the second to last day of the season and this guy first came around 8 days after the kill... And five days after the season closed

    Bushnell Wireless Cam

    We got one of these for elk season and it turned out to be a huge disappointment as each time we tried to hang it the service wasn’t good enough to send pics. We ended up hanging it on my family’s land in Kansas and have had some decent pics come through. I’m curious as to how others use this...

    Front Range Birds

    I enjoy chasing Merriam’s around the Front Range every spring and have found enough spots to consistently fill 4 to 5 tags. A couple spots we can walk twenty yards from the truck and set up. Obviously, places like this do get more pressure and the birds get call shy as the season progresses. My...

    Best occupation for outdoorsman

    Student all the way... Pick up two majors and turn a two year graduate degree into three. That's what I did/am doing at least. I spent 26 days in the elk woods last September and still carried a 3.0. Stay in school as long as you can

    Organized GPS system for waypoints, tracks, etc

    Prior to scouting trips I use GE to create a game plan of areas I think have potential. I drop pins, record the coordinates and enter the waypoints one by one while in the woods. I do this because no matter how much time you spend looking at aerial imagery things appear sooo much different with...

    Calls for a beginer

    If I was starting from square one and was looking for an easy to master cow call I would get the high heel hottie from glacier country. 20 minutes with this call and you can produce proficient sounds. As far as easiest the hoochie mamma has my vote. People bash this call constantly because...

    Firstlite Customer Service....

    Well I had three pairs all purchased at the same time and only the one started to fall apart. I had no intentions of trying to return them I simply called FL to ask what the typically life expectancy was on the boxers. He said they should hold up longer than two years and offered me the new pair.

    Respectable CO OTC Bulls

    I refer to compounds as gun bows all the time. I was just talking a little trash to my buddy who visits this forum from time to time. So to clarify crossbows had no part in the taking of either bull...

    Firstlite Customer Service....

    Casey is the man! He sent me a new pair of boxers after a 2 year old pair I had developed a small hole in the crotch. 2 years old and no questions asked! First Lite is killing it.

    Stalkers off to a good start this year!

    A little late on the Mitten comments but I’d like to throw in my two cents. He was having a tough year in Utah? a few years back and drove overnight to hunt with me after a recommendation from Peter Iacavazzi and another mutual friend. He had no clue who I was and being new to the trad world I...

    Respectable CO OTC Bulls

    When your best friend shoots a gun bow it’s tough to come out on top… or even get a shot sometimes. This year I own all the bragging rights after bugling in this nice six and eleven cows the fourth day of the season. Unfortunately, a sow and two cubs did a number on him before I found him the...

    Threading the Needle

    I lost the wheels and picked up a trad bow 3 years ago. Last year was the first year I’ve had trouble putting my arrow through a shooting lane. I feel like when I shot a compound I had a better understanding of the flight of my arrow. As an instinctive shooter how do YOU account for fitting your...
