    Bivy/ Backpack Hunting Mistakes/Advice

    I only have one trip worth of experience, so definitely not an expert, but that was the issue I was running into. The area I was running into elk was 2 1/2 miles or so from a trail, and I felt like I was waiting a lot of energy getting back to the truck every night and getting back there in the...

    Bivy/ Backpack Hunting Mistakes/Advice

    You will be better off than I was my first trip since it sounds like you have a good plan in place. I just sort of “winged it” since it was a last minute trip. Still got on elk enough to get me hooked though. Hope the same happens for you, but some meat in the truck.

    Bivy/ Backpack Hunting Mistakes/Advice

    It sounds like we have very similar plans. I’m not too concerned with it being too big of an undertaking. I’ve been in the area for an elk hunt before, so I have a good idea of what I’ll be facing. I just slept out in the woods two nights on my last trip with no sleeping gear or shelter. Based...

    Bivy/ Backpack Hunting Mistakes/Advice

    I ended up going with a 60 pound sandbag and taping it up. It’s worked out pretty well so far.

    Slumberjack Nightfall 2 review

    Also interested to see how it fares with the water hose test. Currently debating between this and the mountain shelter lt for elk hunting this fall.

    WTB 3500ci or larger Pack Bag needed for first time hunter.

    You might want to change your tag from WTS to WTB so that people know you are wanting to buy instead of sell.

    WTS/WTT Kuiu Tall Frame

    Looking for a Kuiu tall carbon frame. Bought a used Ultra pack and 2016 frame, but the regular frame is too small for me. Willing to trade the regular frame for a tall frame or add cash if the other frame is newer. Willing to sell for $125.

    WTB Multi-Day Pack

    My budget is around $250. I know that’s not going to get me the best pack around, but I’d rather hate the pack and go hunting than not go at all.

    WTB Multi-Day Pack

    Looking to buy a pack with meat hauling capabilities, and enough space for 3-4 days for an elk hunt. Can’t afford to go with a new top of the line pack, but want a good pack since this will be my first backpacking elk trip. Looking at getting the slumberjack deadfall 65 if I cannot find a better...

    CO Elk hunt

    I would check gohunt, or the Colorado cpw website. That will help you know if an area is crowded or not. Never been there personally, but I do know there are a few outfitters in that area. Usually going that deep you’ll either be by yourself or hunting around drop camps/outfitters. Also make...

    WTB Multi-Day Pack

    Thanks for the information. My budget is around 350. I know I could get a cheaper Alps or Cabelas pack, but would rather spend a little extra on something used that is a high quality pack.

    WTB Multi-Day Pack

    Looking to buy something in the 2700-4000 cu inch range. Going on an elk trip, so looking for something to do multi day hunts in, but also haul out meat. Trying to stay below $350, but willing to hear any offers.

    Morning sit without roosting ?

    You definitely don’t have to roost them to get one. Personally I’m more of a run and gun type hunter than one who sits on the edge of a field and calls every now and then. I don’t have the patience for it, but if you know of a field where turkeys frequent you can kill them that way. If one is...
