    Anyone Else Sleep in Their Truck?

    I usually spent around 10 nights a year sleeping in the back of the truck with a topper. I have a piece of plywood on the floor, then put my pad/bag on top of that. Nothing fancy, just saves stringing up a tarp or putting up a tent and is very mobile.

    Does anyone wear fleece anymore?

    I'm still wearing a fleece as my third layer. Keep looking at replacing it but haven't yet, it does the job and I like it.

    Is There Booze In Your Pack?

    I agree. Growing up, it wasn't hunting camp without beer there but not for me. I'm more focused on the hunt, and find the alcohol just makes me feel like crap the next day.

    Lets talk effective range...

    This.... I also feel that if you think your effective range is over 100 yards then you should pick up a recurve or longbow and shoot that for hunting to get back into the "spirit" of the hunt. You know who you are! ;)

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    I'm in the same boat, at 280 before I put the pack on. Pack weight is 25 lbs when loaded with gear, add water puts me at 32 lbs plus food. If I figure 5-6 days that puts me at 40 lbs in the pack, for a total weight of 320lbs headed up the mountain. Just thinking about that I spent an extra 30...

    building stamina

    That is exactly what I did when I lived in the Texas panhandle. Occasionally got some weird looks from some kids when I showed up with a multi-cam pack loaded full and started taking stairs until I couldn't breath anymore. It worked.

    Colorado Moose with a bow

    You could always sell a firearm since you're a bowhunter now!

    Colorado Moose with a bow

    You should go ahead and put in for points for sheep and mountain goat as well.

    What speed is your rig shooting?

    I would agree, I could do it but wouldn't enjoy shooting more weight to get there. When I get my new arrows I should be around 450 grains around 290-292 fps. That's plenty for me.

    What speed is your rig shooting?

    I was always told you needed to be able to sit in a chair with your feet off the ground, your bow straight out to your side and draw it without the "arched' sky draw. Pull the bow straight back to full draw and hold, if it's too much of a struggle then lower your draw weight.

    What part of Colorado has the most remote wilderness?

    I also remember leaving my bow in camp opening morning because I was positive no self respecting elk would be where we were! It was only my fear of "murphy's law" that led me to pack it after that, knowing a big bull would show up when I didn't have my bow. The high country early rifle tag is...

    What part of Colorado has the most remote wilderness?

    why yes, yes they will! Maybe it will be different when I have the tag instead of scouting it for someone else!

    BA Encampment vs Wiggys' Ultra Light?

    I won't say my bag was soaked, but using the BA encampment last year I had a rain storm pass over and the bivy I was using allowed my bag to get wet. I didn't know it until morning since I slept through the storm, woke up while it was raining and just rolled over and went back to sleep. The BA...

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    I'm usually around 35-36 lbs with spotting scope and tripod included for an early September hunt, I carry my bow so that is not included. If I take a few luxury items then it puts me up to 40 lbs. I suspect that weight will go up a little next pack in, since I want to start eating a little...

    Your preferred string material

    Have the new X material on my new bow but not enough time to tell anything yet. Have heard good things about it though, previously used either 452x or 8190 and preferred 452x from those two.

    Super bowl bound.

    His arrogant ignorant ways would have me looking for a different team to cheer for. There is nothing to be proud of when a guy like him represents a team.

    For all you big MUlie fanatics, what will he score? just for fun.

    That's what I was thinking without adding anything up, just first glance.

    Tag stew x 6 years = frustration.

    Hiking too much, need to slow down and start hunting. I would focus more on learning about elk calling, and what the elk are saying in that situation. If you learn the area, and know their routines for the area, such as where they bed and feed, then you should be covering at most 5 miles per...
