    Elk Huntin’ Boots.

    Ive had an awesome experience with Crispi Summits. To be fair I have not used them in anything but warmer deer/elk seasons (no later than Sept archery). They've held up well and are very comfortable for MY feet (no rubbing/hotspots etc) and I have put many many miles on them both training and...

    WY Type 7 Question

    I am applying for a Type 7 (Reduced price cow/calf) tag in Wy for 2021. I dont understand why there is a box for this tag that says "Withdraw if full price lic is not drawn." Does this matter at all if it is checked or unchecked as it is a reduced price tag anyhow? Im confused. Thanks for the...

    Warning on politcal threads

    Completely agree. Not sure if any of you listen to Todd Snider but he has a great line in one of his songs. He says, "Republicans, thats what scare people these days. That and, democrats." Haha. Hope you're all well.

    Arrow weight question for elk?

    Whatever shoots best and groups best out of your bow. Both of those setups are fine for elk. Pick the one you feel most confident in shooting and where it will hit.

    Elk Hunting with a Backpacking Pack

    You can 100% do this. Do not let this keep you from hunting. I would not worry so much about the blue. As others have mentioned, the bigger issue is going to be weight if you do get an elk down. They arent designed to carry much which will mean that a) its not going to be comfortable but who...

    What’s recommended to kill elk?

    A lot of great thoughts on this thread already..the only thing to add is that all of the mentioned comments above with regard to setups give you confidence. There's nothing worse than letting and arrow fly and "hoping" that it hits where you were aiming. I was this way when I first started...

    McCall Idaho OTC Elk

    My favorite time of year... "Not looking for any honeyholes...just a good spot to take a representative 6x6 bull. My 5 hunting buddies and I are looking to backpack in 15 miles and then spike camp from there."

    Vaccine?

    Havent read through the whole thread but Peter Attia (The Drive podcast) did a very good breakdown on the history of vaccines as well as what this one does/means. He's one of the most respected surgeons in the the US and has a very well thought out and reasonable approach. I will have to get it...

    Sore Shoulder - Archery. I have a hunt on Tuesday and want to keep pulling.

    Good on you for giving it a shot. Keep in mind that it is a definite "process." You will see tremendous gains, only to have them go away and then you'll have to work to figure it out again. The biggest advice (others can chime in and I'm sure will disagree) is sticking with a release for a...

    Sore Shoulder - Archery. I have a hunt on Tuesday and want to keep pulling.

    Outstanding! I know its a bit late to the thread but I feel like a well rested body and especially shoulders after putting in a lot of work feels great. Sometimes giving your body a few days with minimal shooting does wonder for your posture, your ability to hold, and your ability to get your...

    Nock issue....HELP!

    Thanks guys...gonna try to re-serve first and see what happens. I've used the beiters for a couple years and would like to stay with them. Always feel like they've given me great/consistent arrow flight. Been thinking for a couple years to also give the luminock scene a go...maybe this is the...

    .001, .003, .006 Arrows Technically Why?

    My thinking is that it most likely doesn't make a difference until it does. I have hunted with a bow for long enough to have killed animals by a matter of an inch and lost animals by a matter of an inch. My thinking is buy the best I can afford and I make it a priority to buy the nicest I can...

    Nock issue....HELP!

    Ok...I feel like I am pretty good with tuning/arrow work and am completely stumped. Probably a question for Archery Talk but I hate that site. Anyway...I shoot a RX 3 at 70lbs +/-. I have a 29" draw and shoot an axis 300 w/ 50gr of brass up front and Beiter Hunter nocks on the back. These nocks...

    DO NOT tell your non hunting friends you killed an elk...

    While part of me really likes to share, over the years I honestly share less and less. I know that sounds bad but I get tired of people expecting meat from my hunts. The old "looking forward to trying some" has become less and less flavorful for me. Especially when, like you mentioned, a few...

    Best pack strategy for $300, new western hunter?

    Apologies for not having read through all of the responses but I would hold out in the classifieds for a used pack....Kifaru or Stone Glacier. Being that you do not need the pack right now, you are looking at the right time. There are a lot of people on here who buy buy buy and after hunting...

    What happened to OnX this year?

    The sting hurts a bit more when you're paying $100 for all 50 states and it doesnt work or glitches out in multiple states. I have had a decent run with OnX but a few glitches on key hunts has me open to other options. I get the "backup" and I always have a paper map of the area on me. The...

    When were "the good old days"?

    Good 'ol days were this past September 9-22nd. Good 'ol days will likely be pushed back a week in 2021 but looking forward to the good 'ol days then too.

    Weighted Vest Running

    Occasionally it happens. Trying to make a cutoff point in Wy this past sept. I was trying to get to a spot where I knew the elk (I could see ) were going. Was full tilt uphill for probably 1/2 a mile...got to the top and thought I was gonna toss my cookies.
