    Quiver on your hip

    I was actually playing around with a hip quiver last night. I really hate how my bow feels with the quiver on and I would rather have one really good shot than a quick followup shot that wont happen 99% of the time. Here is one that I was looking at. I highly recommend shooting a bunch with it...

    To Outfitters: Help me to be a better client

    This is a really good video from Cliff Gray on why most hunters quit from an outfitter's perspective. It has some really good general info as well. Cliff Gray is probably the best hunting tips channel in my opinion.

    Arrow Spine Arrow Question

    Others with more experience can chime in here but my general rule is a small breakfast plate group at 20-30 yards and a large dinner plate group at 40-50 yards puts you in a good spot.

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    Here are some I have come up with over the years: "A mistake made once is ignorance, a mistake made twice is stupidity." "Knowledge is power but wisdom is temperance." "I can not bring myself to trust a man who is not crass from time to time." "A man cannot say he loves this country if he is...

    Arrow Spine Arrow Question

    https://www.goldtip.com/arrow-spine-selector Gold tip has a good spine calculator. You basically want a balance between a good FOC (Front of Center) and a stiff spine to handle the acceleration of the string. If your spine is too stiff the shaft will be too heavy for the point and the arrow...

    Opinions on First Lite gear for archery Elk season

    I have the Guide Lite pants and they are good overall pants but they are excessively loud. I am going to try to make them work but a hunting company should put more into making their products quiet. There is also a ton of loose stitching on the pants which I have never seen on KUIU.

    Hiring an outfitter to pack elk out?

    Edit, per Squirrel this looks like my post was illegal so it was removed: 10. SALE OF WILDLIFE (MISDEMEANOR) C.R.S. 33-6-113 Illegal sale of wildlife covers a variety of illegal activities involving wildlife and the exchange of money. Colorado statutes make it illegal to sell or offer for sale...

    Hunt to Eat no more

    I think the sex vs gender thing really can benefit hunters. That way if you pull a Buck tag and shoot a Doe you can just tell the game warden the deer identified as a Buck.

    Emergency Stretcher for Elk Meat?

    Thanks for the input everyone. It was an idea that crossed my head but universally it looks like a bad idea. I have a KUIU pack that has a lot of strap options and I can load up the meat on that.

    Emergency Stretcher for Elk Meat?

    I am going bow hunting for the first time this fall with a hunting partner. We are trying to figure out a good plan to get the elk meat back to the Side by Side if we are successful. We both have day packs with limited space. Back in boy scouts we ran drills where we lashed branches together to...

    Bear Resistant Bags

    Throwing a paracord over a tall branch 100 yards from camp and hoisting a stuffsack full of food has always been standard practice for me.

    Heading out scouting this weekend... some thoughts i have every year

    I think this cannot be overstated. You never know how your gear is going to react until you actually get into the woods. Its always the small stuff like your long sleeve shirt gets too hot and you cant roll the sleeves up or your trail mix melts in the sun 2 hours into the trail or your new...

    Bow hunting during muzzleloader season in Colorado.

    Has anyone had luck with the Orange Algow vests? I figure it would be better safe than sorry and they seem like they dont interfere with movement etc. https://www.amazon.com/Orange-Aglow-Signature-Blaze-Hunting/dp/B01L8C89QA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

    9mm for bear protection, even grizz!?

    I would say one advantage of bear spray over a pistol is spray is effective to the point of contact and beyond while a pistol is effective for only a single shot or two if you can keep your nerves to aim. Even if being mauled you can spray the can over your back and hit the bear. Its going to...

    Need an budget sleeping bag

    I have done this with down jackets and it works well. We have wool balls we use in general and it makes a difference.

    How warm is floorless vs 4 season tent

    Here Here is a hack that will keep you almost as warm as a stove. Take a stainless steel water bottle and put it on a camp stove and get the water nice and hot but not boiling. Then seal the water bottle really tight and be 100% sure it wont leak. Take the bottle and wrap it in a shirt then...
