    Elk Hunting Gear - what can’t you live without?

    I hear ya... my first 3 were all to heavy. (30 pack, 1/5 Jameson, 6 pack of cheerleaders) had to reevaluate.

    Elk Hunting Gear - what can’t you live without?

    Elk Hunting Gear - what can’t you live without?

    Laffy taffys, my extra pillow, and my little Beard comb. Nothing feels better in the backcountry after 4-5 days of chasing bulls than combing the old beard. It’s magical... 😂

    The 1 Thing You Learned- ELK

    👆👆...I passed on a few cows at 10 steps on day 5 of a 10 day hunt. Bulls were talking. Never had another shot opportunity. Almost out of elk meat now. Any elk with a bow is a trophy.

    Note to self...don’t hunt in a mud pit! Dang, y’all must’ve been belly crawling or something to get that dirty. Bet you smelled good after that hunt!! Lol

    Thanks for the info. I haven’t had over 100 but maybe 5 miles and it was dry. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

    Exo k2 vs k3?

    Why do you feel the Velcro is a negative? Just curious. I’ve put probably 150-175 miles with weight on mine and haven’t noticed anything.

    Be more aggressive early in a hunt. I was a little too cautious last fall the first 3 days and let a few bulls get by. Of course every situation is different, but sometimes you just gotta go for it even on the 1st day.

    Backcountry Solo; How Many Days? Backcountry Partners; How Many Days?

    I kinda let the unit and the hunt dictate that. But if I’m just going in on say 10-12 day hunt, I’ll throw a max of 5 nights/6 day food in my pack. If I haven’t connected after that many days I’ve probably ran every critter out of the country. Been a few times I came out, refueled and straight...
