    Do you leave your quiver on or off when elk hunting

    Always on. Always full. I practice exactly how I hunt… bino harness, full pack, etc. I know too many guys that put a hat on during hunting season, a neck gator, a gun, a bugle tube around their neck, or something that changes their anchor point or how they draw back and it is the difference...

    Recommendation for a tarp for my pack - mostly going to use to put quarters on but

    I have wanted to use the heavy duty contractor bags, like those from Home Depot or Costco, but I’ve heard they contain pesticides, and have not wanted to stick my meat on them. If this is true, are there any contractor bags that don’t contain these pesticides?

    Speed Gain on String Change

    Not to detract from the thread, but I have been wanting to change out my string for a newer one in hopes of increasing the poundage. I am maxed out on an older Mathews. I believe it is running about 72 pounds or at least was when the string was newer. Any tips or tricks on how to increase...

    Elk #-2 - What Would You Do?

    Early season. Bull may or may not have cows but the primary rut is still to come. Assume the bull is headed to bed and nearly there or he’s advertising on his way to bedding area. Once I knew he was in his bedding area, I would likely let out a light bugle and then do some raking, panting, and...

    Elk! What Would You Have Done?

    Nice summary, Paul. I was late to the party but my initial thought was a bull calling cows bugle, especially knowing the territorial behavior of Roosevelt. My bull calling cows bugle seems more aggressive than the 3 mews followed by a bugle but I suspect it worked because bulls don’t want...

    3 Vane Fletching max helical jigs

    I’ve been shooting the fusion Q2i 2.1’s by Fusion. Can I use the EZ mini for these to get more helical or should I use the full-size EZ?

    Exo Mountain K4?

    This thread is going to reach a 100 pages. I'll wager a bet... if a guy were to read through all the pages, as many of us have, you couldn't help but place an order for a K4. So for those that haven't read through it, I'd say save yourself the time and just buy a K4. LOL!

    Exo Mountain Gear K4 Pack Review ***Updated 3/28/23***

    They sent out 150 packs to testers. (I wasn’t one of them). They listened and made tweaks to get to the final product. The cost of sending out 150 packs and going through this process was a significant investment in money and time. Their thoroughness and attention to detail will likely keep any...

    Zenbivy Bed?

    @MTElkChaser Do it and congrats on a new system. It's always fun to buy new gear. Let us know when you get it, what you think, and packability!

    Zenbivy Bed?

    The system looks bulky. For those that have it, how is the packability? Is it reasonable to backpack with on extended trips?

    EXO Crib Thoughts

    Yes… This would be a perfect day hunting set up. I assume the lid could be cinched down assuming you’re not packing any meat and you just had an empty crib with the pockets?My thought is I could put my cook kit and a dehydrated meal or two in the lid and carry kill kit and first aid kit in the...

    A scary day in the elk woods

    I hate these stories. I’ve wanted to use and try decoys and have even considered the ultimate predators decoy which is mounted to your bow. But I’ve never made the purchase out of fear of poachers or bad archers. Bad stories occur every year and I want no part of it. These stories keep me from...

    Hanging quarters

    I am usually solo and can’t pack out all at once. So I take all quarters away from the carcass. I pop the stomach so the smell goes to the carcass... my thought is that animals prefer the guts and organs over muscle meat. I then store the bags in different spots. One in a tree, one on a rock...

    Sig Rangefinders Archery Firmware update

    So I did the update today on my Kilo 5K. Put in archery mode, entered by arrow speed. It is now showing the angle degree on the readout and gives me my yardage. I assume the yardage read out is already compensating for the specific angle? In other words, the angle degree readout is for...
