    Archery- In front of or behind cover?

    Whichever gives you the best shooting lanes, next to a tree is my preference, but not so close I can’t draw. Every scenario is different.

    First time elk hunting and solo

    Pay attention to everything, especially the wind. Learn thermals, elk aren’t Whitetail so you’ll need to tweak your hunting if that’s your background. Watch the wind. Be patient, but not committed to one area Don’t let pressure immediately put you in a foul mood. It’s OTC, they’ll be plenty...

    Colorado OTC - Shooter?

    3 of us hunt together and have a policy of sticking the first adult legal elk we get a chance at. This is for take home meat. Then we get pickier, but I’d shoot him even if we had meat on the ground already. Any elk with a bow is worth shooting in OTC. Lots of guys never get one with a bow.

    I don’t want your honey hole, but can you give some basin names, trail heads, and GPS coordinates?? I’m a backpack hunter so I only want the spots 10-12 miles in.

    10 vs 20deg quilt

    10 degree vs the 20 for sure. You can always vent it as stated above. A hunting buddy of mine runs a 0 degree and prefers that but he’s cold natured.

    USA Made

    I didn’t read through the entire thread,so may have been mentioned, but I wear some Duluth DOTF and the Flexpedition pants that have been solid on a few Sept elk hunts. USA owned/operated to my knowledge. The brown is spot on for dark timber hunts.

    New arrows

    I switched to the VAP TKOs a few years ago and I absolutely love them. A few of my buddies switched after checking them out also. Fly great and have performed well on a couple bulls. I recently dropped weight from 70#-55 due to shoulder problems but they still perform excellent.

    The greatest threat to elk hunting is:

    Incompetent politicians with their political agendas that favor a voting base that far too often doesn’t understand the ecology of the mountains. Hunters are and always have been the greatest conservationists because we have a deep love of the wild and the animals that live there. But we are...

    EXO vs others

    I run the 4800 and can easily get 5-7 days. Haven’t tried to go longer but I’m confident I could make it a few days past 7. But I also have lightweight gear, quilt, etc.

    look in the layer library and see if you have the Western Application Research layer. They evidently moved some stuff. The Roadless layer and Wilderness Layer are in there.

    New cooking stove advice.

    Although I was leaning towards a new stove, I hadn't realized they had a new Jetboil Stash out. Any of you guys have thoughts on them. I've researched quite a bit on them and I'm thinking of giving it a shot. It's very similar to the other stoves I was looking at but I think I like the setup a...
