    "You can't use a gun for self-protection..."

    "They" voted Biden in. "I" didn't. I don't deserve Biden, I'm sure there are a lot of Canadians that don't deserve Trudy

    Finding elk rutting areas?

    A lot of the rubs you'll see early are from rubbing velvet off so they might be in a completely different area for rut. Find the cows during the season, bulls won't be far.

    Calls

    any of the Rocky Mtn or Phelps (or any other brand) reeds with the softer latex are good calls to start on. Mellow Yellow is what I started with but you'll learn quickly so get some of the more advance calls too.

    To Drive or Fly? Fuel Costs Predictions for October

    You'll save time flying but not enough $ to balance out the hassle IMO.

    Didn’t Draw - Glass half full thoughts

    I'll be calling, scouting, and generally slowing my kids down while they carry their bows. Might be carrying the shot gun depending on where we are.

    Game Bags?

    I've used the Black Ovis elk bags and they haul meat great. They wash up and still look new after several years of use. They hold their shape even with boned out meat in them so pretty easy to carry on the pack. Only drawback is that they are kind of heavy, not sure how they compare to others...

    Sea level to 10,000 :: avoiding altitude sickness

    Altitude kicks my butt every year. Live at 2' and only hunt at 8-9k' but I can't get enough oxygen in me to climb hills without gasping for air like a fish on the bank. I started taking gingko biloba a couple of years ago, start a month before hunting and it seems to help a bit. Also use...

    ubco electric bike-anyone used one for hunting?

    With both wheels being driven and knobbies this bike seems like it could go up anything my dirt bike could but haven't had a chance to try my buddies out on anything difficult. Definitely not fast, 30 mph tops but lots of torque. Nothing like a Rokon, except for the two wheel drive concept.

    Anyone tried bear?

    Bear is some of the best and worst meat I've ever had (different bears).

    ubco electric bike-anyone used one for hunting?

    A buddy of mine got one just for riding around but it looks like it would work great for elk hunting. I have a small motorcycle that works well but the electric bike with two wheel drive seems like it would get anywhere the cycle would and it's lighter and probably carries more load. Just...
