    We were in the elk woods in September, so it was great.

    Bow Deals

    If you feel confident you know what you’re looking for, look at the classifieds on here and archerytalk. If you aren’t sure, it is probably worth the extra money to go to a bow shop and get a set up. Shops will be selling the 2020 models a little cheaper now as well.

    Bow Deals

    I don’t look at Black Friday deals too much for bows, so somebody else might comment with more info there. In my opinion, right now is a really good time to get a bow. A lot of bow companie just released their 2022 models, so 2021 models are going at lower prices, and guys are selling their...

    Kuiu pro suspension to carry stand

    I use my Kuiu frame to carry my saddle platform and sticks. The suspension and waist belt itself does great, and is comfortable in my opinion. I’m sure the shoulder straps and suspension would work well for what you plan on doing, and least from the sounds of it.

    FMJs - any downsides?

    I went with Gold Tips as well. Been sticking with them for the past 3 seasons now.

    FMJs - any downsides?

    Easy to bend and not very durable in my opinion. There are better options out there for the money from the experience I had with them.

    OTC ARCHERY MULE DEER ARZ

    Just a heads up, most people are not going to help when the first question in your first post starts with “what unit should I go to”.

    First Time Colorado Hunter GMU 521

    As long as it’s a legal bull I don’t believe too many people are worrying about antler scores in CO otc units.

    CO Orange Law

    I know it’s not required by law, but why chance it? Elk can’t see it, so I really don’t see any downside to wearing it. Not worth possibly getting shot over when an orange hat or vest might have prevented it.

    elk calls for a new again beginner?

    Elk101 3 pack is a good buy in my opinion. All 3 reeds are a little different, and it will give you an idea of what fits your mouth and sounds good. Lot of people recommend Phelps as well. I just haven’t had any experience with them.

    Gila Archery Elk, what to get my Dad to prepare him?

    Ended up going with a lot of the suggestions here and marking off most of your suggestions as well. We got him a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and pillow, trekking poles, and merino socks. I bought a new pack for the hunt, so he’ll be using my other pack and frame. My brother has a zoleo set up for...

    Best broadheads

    Innovative outdoorsman sells guides for sharpening replaceable blade broadheads using sandpaper. Probably one of the cheaper options out there. Depends on what your budget is for broadheads. I like the grim reaper micro hades for an affordable fixed blade. Magnus is around that price as well...

    DIY Kuiu Vias Quiver

    Might do that. Just seems like a lot of money to spend on something that won’t do much other than look good.

    DIY Kuiu Vias Quiver

    I’ve been considering that. Might be the most affordable option besides just diy painting it myself.

    Elk call setups

    Elknut app has a section for solo hunting tips. Elk101 does as well, a little more in depth I think. I would assume the elk collective does as well. Elkbros on YouTube talks about solo hunting some too. Plenty of options out there.

    The toughest goodbye

    Not looking forward to going through that myself. Have a 3 year old and a 1 year old lab. Never understood the connection as I’d never had dogs before now, but they definitely become part of the family. Sorry for your loss.

    WTB Backpacking 0-15 degree bag and sleeping pad

    How well does that one pack down? From looking online it looks like it doesn’t pack down very small in regards to backpack hunting.
