    Lip Bawl?

    Jason, take into consideration it can take a couple of weeks of a few minutes a day practice to achieve some elk sounds. Don't rush it but be persistent in daily practice. It's all part of the process! ElkNut

    Lip Bawl?

    Jason, great looking elk! To your question Lip Bawls are not a vital sound that needs to be mastered. Work on it as you have time & it will come to you! Make sure you have a good tight single reed for your best results. There are other bull sounds that can represent the same message as a Lip...

    Holy Smokes!!!

    Hunting wallows

    One of my favorite tactics on OTC hunts is to stay back from the Wallow/Waterhole. I prefer to be 100-250 yards away & Advertise/Display in their domain! Doing this allows me a great setup spot where I have predictable wind. The 1st 10 days of elk season is my favorite times to use this. Elk...

    Holster for Exo K3 hip belt?

    Ivory Holster works awesome for our pistols attached to our Exo belt. Pretty much the same as Justin's photo shows! Great combo! ElkNut

    Buzzes and Bawls

    Go over the App. When on elk sounds choose the sounds you want to know more about & how to add those unique tones. It's there all on video as well as written content under Tips & what each sound represents to the elk! It's a matter of communication; not just making an elk sound! With this in...

    Do you leave your quiver on or off when elk hunting

    I hunt with it on. Truth is I'd ditch it in a heartbeat if I could figure out a way to have it off but accessible. Haven't had success at it yet! ElkNut

    Still doing your own wrenching?

    Yes sir, all I can, mostly because I trust myself & not others. I'm a picky bastard & hate others messing with my rigs! (grin) ElkNut

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    Seriously, I have no specific kill it as it were. I just carry things I've used for years to break down an elk. I have no idea of weight. It ain't much though. If I'd offer any advice I'd say don't over think it, bring what you need & no more. It's just elk hunting! ElkNut

    Will you kill an elk anywhere?

    I used to feel that there wasn't any terrain too tough, no matter what! Not these days! I do limit myself but those limitations are still pretty high standards. But to the question; yes there are some pretty severe spots I say no too where as in the past it would have been a different story...

    Make it a point to hunt before MZ season, or?

    CMS829, I've hunted quite a few western states & getting away from most hunters is easily done. Find those small secluded areas in-between trailheads & roads where you carve your own trail. Find these on a good mapping App. Choose 6-8 spots while at home & you'll have great starting points! --...

    Make it a point to hunt before MZ season, or?

    Colorado is big country! If you plan on hunting where everyone else hunts & the way they hunt then yes your concerns are well validated! If you plan on carving out your own access & not worry about others then pick any dates that work for your schedule! Personally I wouldn't be concerned about...

    Elk Calling Practice

    UncleBone, thank you sir! Word of mouth type feedback is awesome! No doubt the word is spread by actual users other than social media hype! Lots of hunters recommend this App & I do appreciate them all. It has a lot to offer for sure to the new or experienced elk hunter, thanks again! ElkNut

    Finding Benches on Topo

    There's nothing written in concrete as to the size of a bedding area. I will say it doesn't require much real-estate for an elk or a small group of elk to spend the day. If hot they're normally in a fairly cool & shaded area. I've located beds where it was steep country & elk beds were just in...

    Finding Benches on Topo

    Those photos are not of daytime bedding areas or of benches as elk look at benches. Those are more feeding areas if anything. If beds are found in those spots they would be more of a night time bedding area as opposed to day time bedding areas. Big difference for the elk hunter! Just don't...

    Hunting with camp on your back?

    There's no doubt there's a certain amount of glamour hunters fantasize about in hunting for days off their backs, I've considered it as well but have yet committed to it. Nothing wrong with it but I have to ask myself & you do too if it's really necessary! I'm a bowhunter at heart & find that...

    Source for High-Quality Physical Topo Maps?

    Here's what I have done & still do. I'm pretty frugal! (grin) You want 1-24000 USGS UTM Grid 7.5 minute Topo Maps, these are what Surveyors use for ground navigation. I buy mine from the town closest to the Hardware stores where I'm planning my hunt. Most run 8-10 each, generally takes 4 maps to...
