    Am I Taking Too Much Stuff? My Pack Seems Heavy

    I second the idea about possibly bringing a second pair of boots, plus even some camp shoes if going in on horses. Your feet will get torn up pretty quickly if you're stuck wearing wet boots all day every day.

    1st (ever) 100 yard group

    Great shooting out to 100! It's such a great feeling to drop them in there at that yardage. Shooting beyond my comfort zone has helped improve my accuracy immensely as well!

    Good point about the concentration factor. I'd guess your concentration would step up even another notch when an animal becomes the target! Thanks for sharing your experience with them!

    Is Five Lbs Five Lbs

    I prefer to lose the pounds. The extra 5 pounds in the pack helps a person feel a lot more comfortable in the backcountry (when not carrying it)!

    Backcountry Water Sources and Purification, by Jason Brooks

    Great article! A solid way to purify is a must. A hunter doesn't last long when rationing water!

    How do you like the Crispi waterproofing cleaning cream? I need to upgrade my leather waterproofer this year. Seems like after 3 days, the morning dew starts soaking through...

    What do you say to the new Archery Hunter?

    Good idea to get all that time off. My thought is that you can't kill something if you're not out there! Keep after it - it happens so frequently at the moment you least expect it. The highs and lows of bow hunting are quite the whirlwind!

    @buttekid Good question. We don't have any discounts floating around out there, except we offer 5% to active and prior military. If you fall in that category, thank you for your service! Send me a PM with details of how you served and I'll set you up with a coupon code!

    Broadhead help

    The Tanto Tip and low profile on our heads is engineered to prevent planing at long distances, so you can count on them to fly true when you're really poking it out there. We found on our timberline hunts that the 20-35 yard shots are few and far between, so long distance accuracy was a...

    Pinching at the front of my hips

    Getting a low profile pant belt is what saved me. I just went backcountry last weekend with a thick belt and was reminded with bruised/chaffed hips that the thin low pro belt is key for me.

    Finished my new bow

    31" wow!!! I just moved into the Black Gold 3 pin slider as well. So far, I'm loving pin gap compared to the 5 pin. Just what I was hoping for with the switch.

    The APP Is Now Live!

    Loved demo-ing the app, Paul! Seemed like a great combination of your videos and the playbook, all in one. Plus, it's searchable by topic, which was always the challenge with the videos. Great use of tech to help us be better elk hunters!

    Hunting Deep in CO

    For me, those would be any miles walked on foot. You're right, hard to draw a 10-15 mile straight line anywhere in Colorado without hitting a road. Lots of zig-zagging in those boot miles!

    Knees!!

    For the downhills, I've noticed my knees feel much better if I try and control my descents with my glutes and hamstrings, lean back on my heels a bit, stand up straight, and widen my stance. When doing this, it takes almost as much muscle work to go downhill as uphill, but it keeps the pressure...

    best way to find outfitters camp locations?

    I've had success calling the outfitters. They are usually pretty happy to tell you where their camps are going to be if you tell them you are trying to avoid them.
