    General elk draw

    For Montana you can buy another preference point in spring 2025 and go into the draw with 2 points. Agreed that it can get confusing.

    Ambient / Active insulation w pit zips?

    Same thought about the photos, I was not sure if they were super low profile or not. I'm sure a kanga pocket could be added pretty easily though. Might have a project for momma!

    Ambient / Active insulation w pit zips?

    Does the 75 hoody have a kangaroo pocket or any front pockets in general? I know this was a complaint on the 60. Thanks

    Mid weight top

    I ran the original Ambient jacket on my elk hunt this year and I loved it. I hardly took it off except for mid day in the sun. It was perfect for early morning climbs. Check out euro optic and mountain archery - I got mine for around 50% off over there.

    How many preference points should you bank up for Colorado Archery Elk Primary Draw?

    Scary possibility - I’m trying to decide how long I want to bank my deer points. Sitting at 4 and really want a high country early rifle tag. Burned 3 elk points this season and got my first bull!

    CO Archery Elk - first hunt write-up (tag filled!)

    Figured I’d add another chapter in here for those interested. I failed to mention some pre-trip drama that occurred 4 days prior to our departure from Indiana. I was doing some realistic range shooting on a Thursday evening at home by moving my target and shooting positions around at various...

    Pikes Peak Region Elk

    I shot my first elk in the Gunnison National Forest this year during archery. I know of at least a few GMUs in that area that are OTC for rifle. I was in some pretty high country during my hunt and would have to expect the elk move way out of there by 2nd rifle but not totally sure.

    Pack-out photos.

    Taken last week after I shot my first bull. Sure wish my dad had better than an iPhone 5 to capture it but it’s still priceless to me nonetheless.

    HELP NO BLOOD

    I shot one last week with QAD Exodus as well. Quartering to me at 16 yards. Put it right behind the shoulder on entry and exited a couple of inches forward of hind quarter. I was a bit higher than I wanted to be but no blood for 40 yards -> great blood for 30 yards -> no blood. Ended up finding...

    How do you get your elk racks back home in your truck bed? Tips / Pics appreciated.

    Didn't quite make sense to us either lol. The bed was stuffed full of gear and no matter which way we had that head the cap door or bed gate wouldn't shut. Maybe part of me wanted to have show and tell on the drive home too ;)

    How do you get your elk racks back home in your truck bed? Tips / Pics appreciated.

    Mine didn't fit in the truck bed (good problem to have!) so we stuffed the coolers and gear in the bed/cap and strapped the antlers up to the hitch and haul. Second pic is once we got back home and headed to the processor.
