    Boot recommendation for elk

    No, they don’t curve like that. Seems like a distorted picture. Here’s mine. Elk blood stains as well.

    Boot recommendation for elk

    Don’t buy Meindl’s from Cabela’s. Buy them direct from Meindl USA.

    Boot recommendation for elk

    Meindl or Crispi fit me the best. I lean towards Meindl since they seem to have a wider toe box. My new pair this year are the Meindl Vakuum Hikers.

    How long can elk stay in a freezer?

    I wouldn’t say it sounds pathetic. You have definite concerns and questions. I just have issues with it always being the processor’s fault. Could be a lot of different things. I used to vacuum seal all the loose meat, put it into a bag and then hang it with bone in portion of the animal. It...

    How long can elk stay in a freezer?

    I’m sorry but give me a break! I’m sorry you think you got the ole switcheroo but any meat when thawed is going to have liquid. I know I’ll get hate over this but oh well. I’ll pay you $1,000.00 to come eat off my plant floor. 🤣

    Vacuum sealing burger bags

    Your burger will last a long time in the plastic hb bags. I add bacon to my wild game burger and finished some up recently from 2017. Don’t use the hog ring method. Use the tape machine and squeeze the air out, twist the bag tight, tape it. I’ve done hb this way for myself and commercially for 3...

    What would you do?

    A few of the pics I saved. I had much much more but have deleted them over the years.

    What would you do?

    Definitely a high lung shot. Probably hit the offside shoulder as well not allowing a full pass through. High lung shots pretty much bleed out internally. It could have been your bull if it didn’t die right away. Easy for it to change direction. Could have been a completely different elk as...

    Rock Climbing Harness with Climber

    I use a Black Diamond harness. It only has one attachment loop in the front. When I clip in standing on the tree stand platform I use a nylon strap that came with the tree stand. On this strap I have a smaller rope tied in a loop that the nylon strap goes through. I have a little longer rope...

    Rock Climbing Harness with Climber

    I use a rock climbing harness and really like it. I put it on before I walk in to my treestand. Walked a mile in it this year heading in to my stand. I made my own climbing rope. Actually use two when putting in the stand because ponderosa pines have lots of branches to work around. Leave one...

    Ouray County Colorado wolves?

    Coyotes go wherever they want to. I’ve seen them right below the Rio Grande pyramid peak chasing Marmots and Picas. I called in a giant of Coyote while hunting turkeys in NM. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see a wolf in sw CO and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if what was seen were coyotes.

    Texas, NM, Arizona Road Trip Suggestions

    La Posta is pretty good! I have a niece that went to NMSU and we would meet there to eat when I was down in Deming Ibex hunting. I think BIlly the Kid stayed in Mesilla a few times as well. NM also has the oldest Catholic Church in the United States. It’s funny that NM was one if not the first...

    elk antlers

    Antler plaque, dog chews, sell them, cut them off and use as some kind of decoration. Cut them off and have a good carver or engraver do a scene on them. Hang them in the garage. This is why I don’t care to shoot big bulls. Small bulls and cows are just fine for me. 🤣

    How do you guys successfully hunt wallows

    If you sit a wallow for a particular bull then be prepared to sit it all day. A bull will come in whenever they feel like it. If you make a blind or a ground Blind be sure and set It up so the wind doesn’t carry your scent to the most likely places and elk will enter. I prefer a treestand. If...

    Hypothetical question:

    I like a dark grey suit, black belt, black shoes. Wear a tie with some blue, green, red, or a light brown in it for the color difference. I have two suits I wear to church, funerals, and weddings. One is “taupe” which I have no idea what color that really is so I’ll call it gray. The other is...

    Too redneck or is there a better way?

    That will look great in your house. Ever flip through the pages of a taxidermy catalogue or online? They all sell a pile of real and artificial branches to use for habitat and euros. It’s even better that yours is free.

    Compare & Contrast Exo K4 5000 and Stone Glacier Sky 5900

    I really like my Exo K4. Carried 65 lbs of elk meat and gear a few weeks ago better than my Kifaru pack. Granted, my Kifaru was an older internal frame DT2. I hate a bag that doesn’t zip open and is only top loading. K4 just fits me so well. I went with the 23” frame since I’m not a tall guy...

    Binoc harness Recomendations

    Stone Glaciers harness is great for what you want. I use one and don’t like carrying extra stuff in one either. It’s very minimal but you can add side pockets like a rangefinder or phone if you want.
