    Base layers?

    I loved the first lite llano, but they quit making it. I have some of the older aero wool. It’s OK, but has a slight wet dog smell when wet. I just ordered the light weight Kuiu wool hoody. I haven’t had it out yet. Seems pretty nice.

    How many times per week leading up to hunt do you train with weighted pack

    Not sure where you are at in Kansas. The YMCA where I go got some incline trainers this year, they go up to 30% incline. For interval training I have been doing 2 minutes on and 2 minutes off, 30% at 3 mph. If you can find one you might try that. I love to run, but I avoid it due to a tibial...

    Solomon 4d 3 gtx?

    I have 4 pairs. Just started breaking in a new pair. They are great boots. They are pretty breathable and you notice it when the temps drop. If I was expecting snow I would go a little more boot. But my feet are always cold.

    Hunting vehicle other than pickup??

    I have been running a Chevy Trailblazer for the last few years. It’s been to Colorado a few times and Idaho. I just bought a Tundra and still have the Trailblazer. The SUV is nice because you can lock everything up. I have put several deer in the back of the Trailblazer. I have a rubber floor...

    New Fav - Jacob's Ladder

    My gym has one also. I like to go a minute easy and minute fast. I still have no idea how to use the computer on the thing. I know that keeps time. That is all I use it for.

    The Current state of Elk Hunting

    I think there are a lot of things that are driving the popularity. There is a lot more information and it gives people the confidence to do new things, which I think is great. Life is too short not to get out there and have some adventures. Also, my elk hunt has become mandatory for another...

    A warning.....

    If I was you I would call and make sure the case got assigned to a Detective. If the property crime rate is high in that area, some cases like this just get entered as stolen and then closed due to a lack of leads.

    I have the peloton 240. I love it. Really warm for the weight. I wear it most mornings while getting ready. I Take it off before I start hiking. I also have some of the military surplus fleece long john tops. Gets me through most mornings.

    Didn’t draw my MT Combo Tag... What are my options now?

    May 10th the ID Sawtooth OTC tags go on sale. I got one two years ago. When they go sale you have about 6 minutes to get one before they are all gone. It’s crowded but they do cap the tags so it is somewhat managed. There are a lot of road hunters. So you can get away from people. It’s under...

    Moving to either Utah or Colorado... OTC archery concerns

    I lived in the Denver area for a couple years. (Castle Rock). If you go to Denver I would try to get as far out on l70 as you can. I70 sucks and it makes hard to get out of Denver. Denver traffick is crazy now. I was stationed in Utah for 8 years (Ogden). The OTC units can be tough but we had...

    Hunting with Base and spike camp.

    I would echo what Juan and br snow said on Colorado. Last year we went to a spot I had hunted before and there were several vehicles at the parking spot. We drove about two hours to the other side of the mountain to another trailhead that accessed the same area. There were even more vehicles on...
