I have had scope for one year. Went on one elk hunt last year. Always kept in protective sleeve and lens covers on. Glass and body are clean (no scratches or scuffs anywhere) weight- 31.6oz and length- 12.1”. Link to Hawke website below...
Sitka Mountain Vest size large in open country. Basically new without tags. Wore it on two walks with my dog when I got it and it has not been outside my gear tote since.
Price: $65 tyd (prefer Venmo) conus
Trade for: cim/red half nest (with money on my end to you)
SJK Outpost 4 with Bearpaw stove jack sewn in by myself (I am not a professional, but it turned out good in my opinion) The tent itself has taped seams from the factory. The stove jack where I sewed it still needs to be sealed. I have used the tent in my back yard testing a few nights. Some with...
Thank you for all the feedback everyone! After reading all these posts, I have a few adjustments that I would have made that I think would have increased our chances. I also have the confidence to commit to those bulls knowing that most likely they would stay in that area since I don’t think...
Thank you! We had either sex tags, so my dads was a cow. My brother and I decided before the hunt we would focus on bulls only until day four. Which I’m glad we did because our hunt would have probably been over after day one. We could have probably shot three cows out of that big herd my dad...
We did end up “throwing the Hail Mary” on the last day up there after sitting that feed area. I walked right up on a nice bedded 3pt mule deer which was fun. Looking back on it, I think my brother and I should have split up and tried to cover that area more on our sits instead of staying...
Thanks for the info! I could definitely see this being the case in this situation. Do elk need to water from a creek, seep, or can they eat enough snow? All the water at 9,000 ft where we found them was froze (that we could see) so I am guessing they had to drop down to find some. The morning we...
Well, we learned a lot and had a great hunt. We ended up spotting a herd of cows a mile away on morning one and got my dad on those night one. He got his first ever elk after basically crawling up the mountain:). Crazy how mental toughness overcomes lack of physical condition. It was a special...
I appreciate the feedback! Let’s hope for some snow to get them moving closer to the access then. Relooking at our gear and feedback from everyone, I think I am going to focus on day hunting and putting the miles on in and out if need be. Thanks again for the help!
