    Mystery Ranch 2023 - new gear

    They need to sell that pop up 40 lid for the metcalf. The double pocket lid they use is horrible. It doesn’t stay on top of the pack and slides down to be more like an attachment than a lid.

    A Request for All the Elk Hunting YouTubers...

    It’s tough for me, because I personally do enjoy watching hunting videos through various sources. I loved watching the outdoor channel and stuff when I was a kid and now YouTube has many options. With that being said it has also led to a giant increase in tag demand. I personally think...

    Youth Colorado unit 44/45/444/47 Muzzleloader and all rifle tips

    Those units have some VERY rugged terrain. My only recommendation would be if you aren’t well versed in the mountains I wouldn’t venture far from a trail. The blowdown is THICK and it will take you double if not triple the time to get somewhere than you think it will.

    How much does your spike camp pack weigh?

    Right around 22ish pounds in the pack. Weapon and bino harness not included in that. 1-1.5 lbs of food per day extra and probably 6lbs in water on top for around 3L. 5 days would put me right around 35lbs. That goes up if it’s going to be a rougher weather forecast.

    Boots That Don't

    Ya it’s weird. No clue man. It’s just strange that I’ve seen so many posts with Crispi boots and never a mention of that issue and you have it on two boots in the same exact spot.

    Boots That Don't

    I have plenty of days across multiple states in my Thors and never had that issue. It’s also very strange that you have two different boots doing the exact same thing. Based on the wear spot it almost looks like when you walk you maybe roll your foot; like you land on your heel and roll your...

    Crispi Shimek GTX Review ***Updated 01/20/24***

    Curious how they do in the mountains. I also thought about snagging them for upland this season.

    Another FNG and NEW PACK??

    None of the frames you listed will provide you with a universal figment of bags unless you’re planning on just literally attaching them with paracord or something. Also MR no longer makes either the NICE or original Guidelite frames so those would have to be found used. Of what you listed for...

    Need help identify backpack

    Going to be tough but mentioning anything military makes me think Mystery Ranch. Maybe the Terraframe 65? Good luck and hope he turns up ok.

    Truck camp packing list

    For that long of a time with that far of a drive to town I’d get a 12v cooler. Run it off a large battery bank with solar panels. Might be too late to get that going now but that would have you set with relatively fresh food the entire trip.

    When Do You Leave?

    Somewhere around 9/11ish and I have the rest of the month off. Don’t know that I’ll stay the whole time. If I need a break I might go catch a Rockies game and knock it off the ballpark list lol.

    Like some Backcountry Sleeping Pad Suggestions Please!!

    I switched from an insulated V to the new BA Zoom UL mostly for comfort. The Klymit is so thin I felt like it wasn’t even there.

    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    I use this one as well. Not bad. Gotta run it slightly deflated. I like putting my puffy in the cover above the bladder and then filling it up and it’s way more comfy like that. Wish I had time to get one of these goose gear covers before the season but I had never heard of them before this thread.

    Like some Backcountry Sleeping Pad Suggestions Please!!

    I’m curious to know if people who recommend Klymit have ever used anything else…they’re ok for what they are; a budget pad. They are thin, not all that warm, and barely more comfortable than sleeping on concrete.

    Elk Hunting Dilemma - Time Constraints

    I’d stay home and spend the time with the fam. Earn some extra points with the wife by staying home. Might need to cash those in later lol.

    What public land in a state/ area would you like to hunt?

    I guess I do agree with both of you guys. Just with how and where I grew up hunting, that is what I think when someone says whitetails. If I was trekking across the country to go hunt in the mountains, it would be for something other than a whitetail.

    What public land in a state/ area would you like to hunt?

    Since this is specifically about whitetail…anything other than the midwest for a big, mature buck is a wrong answer lol. Some states or areas may have bigger deer, but the Midwest has them everywhere. Any public land timber that butts up to some agg fields on a corn year=$$$$$$

    2023 Broadhead Recommendations

    Are you shooting a 36” ATA bow in a treestand? Makes my VXR 28 look like it’s for ants lol.

    What did you do today to get ready for Elk season?

    Man I literally learned how to hunt in Shawnee National Forest down there. I know a bunch of those woods like the back of my hand. Killed my first deer in a wooden stand my dad built in the 80s.
