Hoffman Boot Review/Giveaway - Tell us what you want.
8 inches Wider toe box with regular heel box Better leather than is generally offered. In even the Italian boots the leather quality seems to be sub-standard. Better does not mean thicker. Super disappointed in the leather quality in many 400.00 range boots, like we don't know any better in the... -
Poaching - unit 2 CO
Killing elk over bait. Oh yeah. I was advised to keep most of the details but yes in contact. -
Shoulda Coulda Woulda mistake thread- share your 2019 mistake (only one per customer!)
Here is mine: Due to circumstances well within my control I was forced to hunt a unit I was only marginally familiar with. Oh well. Deciding to make the best of it I scouted a little and in late-ish July bumped a big body 6x6. Hmmm, pretty nice animal for this unit. So when the season opened I... -
Poaching - unit 2 CO
I am currently involved with trying to help catch a group who has been baiting elk for years. Found the 1st site and have found 15 others like it. I even met the group though not realizing it at the time. It was sick- there was the young guys just out of high school learning poaching from... -
Lost big bull, possible broadhead/equipment issue?
This isn't a debate unless it is specifically about angles, tuning, placement etc. Regardless of what blade design you choose, to imply mechanicals have the same history of success as a fixed blade regarding performance is simply not accurate. There is no debate about that. Shoot what you want... -
Lost big bull, possible broadhead/equipment issue?
There are broad head failure tests out there that show that the highest failures of any design is mechanical heads. We can spend a year talking about mechanicals that did the job etc, but if you want heads that do not fail as often or not at all, you will have to concede that mechanicals are... -
Advice: Outfitter Frequents Drainage
Don't let them horn you away either, by the presence of their camp and their guides. Most guides are very professional but there are some who are not above intimidation direct of indirect. (the dirty look, the lack of consideration for spacing are examples). Also, most outfitters will be hand... -
HELP. Colorado Elk
Not sure I agree with that sweeping statement if you actually mean we re-direct people. No we don't name names but I do not believe many of us spend much time sending people to places we don't hunt or fish ourselves as a way to preserve our area. I suggest asking yourself what kind of country... -
Mystery Ranch Pack Sale!!
No worries. Trust me, if I get a great deal I drive by gloat- mention it embedded in a thread reply. That way I can claim I wasn't rubbing noses in it but of course I am and its just a fun back and forth kind of thing. -
Mystery Ranch Pack Sale!!
That was meant in good humor, like how WE ALL enjoy sharing a good deal and how WE ALL wish we got that great deal someone snagged and we missed. Sorry you took it as a slight. -

Thoughts on eberlestock packs
I ran the X@ for a long time but wised up eventually. I now have their mainframe with another brand pack on it. I will be getting the suspension system that goes with the pack next year and ditching the mainframe- the center pad on that frame does not sit well on my body. I also do not like... -
Hows Colorado Archery season been?
I was very discouraged by the hunter numbers in the unit I chose- but then again I had little scouting knowledge for it built up as I had hunted it once during rifle some time ago and scouted only a little. This fact alone is important because with so many hunters you need to strike early and... -
Tell me about your first trad kill
Elk hunting, a grouse stuck its head out from behind a rock. I went to full draw, settled in and shot its head off. I was so surprised I blurted loudly: NO WAY!!! I was psyched to say the least.- jog

Bad shot
That was a very responsible thing you did right there and then posting this thread so others might benefit from your mistake is a great way to take responsibility for what happened. I wish you luck next hunt and you are welcome in my camp anytime. I wish more hunters would own their actions the... -
Essential items in your daypack
Sitting pad as well made from neoprene waders. Besides sit on I use it to stand on if I have to get out of boots or pants and its a small clean place and that is welcome when there is rain or there is snow. -
Reading Elk Rubs
Rubs are a small part of the story and its the other stuff that is more important. One season I was on a bull with cows that when they went into estrus was going to get bumped out, but anyway he was standing around a lot as the cows fed and since he was so jacked up and no where to go (so to... -
Dog names
The dog of my life was Big Black Dog. Ten years later I still miss him. He was an unreal athlete. 105lbs of go power. This my bird dog Piper- an English short hair pointer. Its magical when she goes on point. It really is poetry. See for yourself:- jog
