    WTS Disc-O-Bed $250

    These beds are great. We have two sets and love them. Gosh they are heavy, though. Shipping costs may not be kind.

    Brief 2023 hunt writeup / breakdown

    Congrats on your bull. Way to stay with it. 20 days is a long time. Regarding the Helle knife... is this the Norwegian company you are referring to? If so, which model and where did you purchase? Good looking knives. How do you typically sharpen? Over the last couple years, I have really come...

    Sevr Broadheads

    Dang. Sorry to hear. I wonder if the 1.5 traveled so fast through it that the blades didn’t have time to properly open and create a big wound channel. 440 is smoking fast. Im thinking the 1.5 had a similar affect as a field point because of size and speed. Hope the birds lead you to him if he’s...

    Fly Fishing Pack that holds a 10mm on your chest?

    I carry a G20 in a Kenai Chest Holster underneath a mustang style PFD. Jacket over the top in bad weather. Quick unzip for access. If you want an actual bag that can also carry fishing gear, the HPG Kit bag previously mentioned is the ticket. It’s great. Keeps very dry, discreet and relatively...

    My hunt today, critique?

    Without knowing the details of the terrain, I am not sure why you could not follow them to bedding. My only thought would be you get Cliiffed out somehow. Regardless, you could get a general direction of where they are going, and you could relocate them later. I am not suggesting that you don’t...

    My hunt today, critique?

    Yes; I am saying this about bulls in general, not your particular bull. In the morning, the elk are feeding and meandering around and heading to their bedding area, which they reach mid morning say between 9:00-1030 depending on the weather, etc. It is very difficult to pull a bull away from...

    My hunt today, critique?

    I am a solo hunter. Here's my take... You mention a bugle at first light. The elk were likely feeding and not in their mid-morning bedding area. Very difficult to get a bull to come to you when they have a destination in mind - especially if they have cows (assumption based on calf running...

    Knives

    I have considered a Vic skinner to go with my 6” Vic semi flex. They are cheap, easy to sharpen to a razor, light weight, and durable. I like unique knives with character or a story, but these just get the job done in the field and at home.

    A story and a request built out of struggle, tragedy, overcoming, and ultimately good news. Could use some advice.

    Thanks for sharing. Glad your son is doing better. Life often has a way of putting things into perspective. I am willing to bet that many outfitters have guys on their team that do those hunts. I would determine what state you want to hunt and make some calls to the outfitter to share your...

    Incidental predator call ins while elk hunting

    2020 - pack of wolves 2021 - cat snuck into kill site in thick reprod. It was raining. Solo. Cat screamed at me from 30 yards out just as I finished 1 side of the elk. Had to muster up the courage to finish other side. That’s was fun. I then leap frogged meat out into the opening so I didn’t...

    Smoking deal for a chamber sealer

    @Tod osier …thanks! The VP95 specs don’t indicate a 10x15 bag is compatible. The largest bag is a 9x12. Are you speaking in generalities or suggesting that a 10x15 fits? I’m trying to decide whether to go with the VP 95 or the LEM VacMax Pro from Costco

    Smoking deal for a chamber sealer

    Is the VP 95 big enough to seal 2 pounds of hamburger? If so, what would be the appropriate bag size?

    Awesome Venison Burgers

    I’ll try the recipe. Sounds great! Little trick for lean burger… We add an egg to 2lb batch after thawed. More protein and holds the burger together. Can’t taste it. Once the patties are hand formed, we place in the freezer on parchment paper or non stock cookie sheet to slightly freeze...

    Favorite frying pan?

    The jet boil skillet is awesome. Gets amazing reviews and works with non jet boil stoves. Highly recommend.

    My Last Remote AK Caribou Hunt

    Great story and congrats on the hunt. I’m sure the last trip brought back many years of memories.

    Shot bull. Having a hard time finding him.

    Hard to say without being there, but if it was only a couple inches high, and you watched your arrow disappear, I have no doubt that is probably a dead bull. It sounds like a high double lung shot and it takes a very long time for the body cavity to fill up with blood, especially if there is...

    Location Bugling

    It's a good question, but I think it's like a "Ford vs. Chevy" debate. Let me explain... Some people will use a cow call, because it is quieter (in case of elk nearby) and is non-threatening. They will start with 2 or 3 cow calls, wait a couple minutes, and the send a locate bugle. If no...
