Huntin buddy tagged out Saturday night.
Still nothing talking where we are at so it has been a frustrating few weeks.
Anyway, on to the story. We ( 3 of us ) hiked into a place that we had never been to but we figured we could get away from the wind ( 20-30 MPH winds). We hiked up the side of...
Using a Scott Caliper. first time it has ever happened with this release. The roads are super dusty here and i had it on in the rzr on our way to the spot. im wondering if the dust had anything to do with it. i blew it out and wiped it down and never had another issue with it the rest of the...
Time of year plays a big part as well. Are you hunting early season Archery or oct-nov rifle. big difference in equipment needed between 40-80 degree days and 0-40 degree days.

Been there brother, probably one of the worst days you will have in the field. My grand dad would say there are only 2 types of hunters...those that have wounded an animal and not recovered it and those that will.
Welcome to the club brother, congrats on the experience!
They will now and forever be the bane of your existence. you will lay awake at night thinking all the possible outcomes, the things that went wrong, the things that went right, how you could have done something different, better... etc...
Great topic!!!
Damn i have made this mistake so many times. its so easy to get caught up in calling. there's plenty of times i have internal arguments about wither i should call or not. the fellas above are right about elk being able to pinpoint you. i have had elk walk up to me look around and...
