    Elk location

    Numbers don't matter. When e-scouting, find where they aren't likely to be bothered, and go bother them.

    Bedding area

    Yep all the time. Just takes a few big rocks or the right slope to get them out of the sun. Where I live its about 99% burned and the elk don't seem to mind

    Elk pack size

    I've got the MR Sawtooth and beartooth. They definitely do squeek out of the box. It's the webbing on the frame corners where they go into the inserts on the bags. I found that melting down some bowstring wax, vaseline, etc... and soaking the webbing cures it for a season or so.

    Plantar Plate injuries anyone?

    Had issues with Morton's neuroma in the past and finally had the nerve cut out. Season of 2023 went great, lots of miles and up and down, and got back into running this fall. Had just finished up a late rifle hunt with Dad two weeks ago when out on a run felt a "pop" in my foot, which I found...

    Plantar fasciitis

    One thing with PF is you're getting little micro-tears in the fascia. When you sleep, your arch is contracted/relaxed and those tears are healing short. You get up in the morning, collapse that arch towards the ground again, and re-tear all those healing micro-tears. This is why it often is...

    NM Landowner Cow Tags

    Check with outfitters that run on large ranches, in units that have the largest herds. They'll end up with most of the surplus tags

    NM Landowner Cow Tags

    My dad picked up a bull tag with an outfitter on December 18. They still had plenty of cow tags through the end of the season for 1000$. Shouldn't be too hard to find a few.

    CO Elk Structure, 2025+

    Just took the survey, the way they word some questions makes it seem like they're considering if these options will even change hunter behavior regardless.

    yes, almost all MN state forests allow dispersed camping, as long as you aren't blocking the road/ aren't damaging native veg, and aren't close to an actual campsite.

    Pinedale WY area cold storage

    When I was out there we were unable to find anyone who would take quarters just for hanging. Best we could do was block ice from the Sinclair station in Pinedale fwiw.

    Gov Shutdown: Wisconsin DIY Public Land Archery Hunt

    I would not count on the woods being empty just cause it's archery. Still think about the overlooked areas. Pay attention to community scrapes this time of year. If you can find tore up ones you'll find the bucks

    Wolves really do scare them off. How bout that?

    We had a bit of this too. Had the elk pinned all week, but one night had a lone wolf howling for about an hour after dark. Woods went silent for 2-3 days. Elk were still there but not saying a word

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    2nd elk hunt. Day 7/8, heard this guy bulging like crazy way off the side of the mountain. Was getting to be crunch time so I bailed straight down off the side after him. Crested several knobs in the basin and finally got close. He was absolutely screaming up in the trees 60 yards away and I was...

    Anybody know of a butcher that will take quarters for cold storage in this corner of the state? A couple tags in our group and we'll be out for at least two weeks.
