    Must have clothing?

    Here's not what to buy......First lite merino boxers. Not even kidding. Crocth blew out on three different pairs. And I'm slim and my nuts aren't that big. Pure junk and I have a closet full of FL clothing. Last pair blew out halfway through early elk archery. Always washed lightly and hang...

    The perspective of the anti-hunter.

    Confirms what we're up against doesn't it? Anyone surprised? I didn't open the link either. Didn't want my blood pressure to rise. I've been hunting for 50 years, and I've never even remotely known of or heard of anyone like who's described in the two examples posted.

    Insomnia cures?

    I used to sleep the sleep of the just until about fifteen months ago. Then a sudden event changed all of that. I've struggled since. Tried booze, edibles, over the counter sleep aides, weed, meditation, relaxing music, cold medicine, etc. Kept the cell out of the bed. I've read more books in...

    Help me find a drink

    I'm a whiskey guy. Having said that we had something way different in elk camp a few years back. At first blush it sounds a bit like a pussy drink but here goes..... whipped vanilla vodka with root beer and ice. One of those drinks that goes down so smooth it's dangerous.

    Plans with new 2022 Oregon Eastern Oregon Controlled Archery hunts

    Where we bow hunt for elk (eastern Oregon) I fail to see where it will make much difference for hunting pressure as it looks like ODFW is being pretty generous in tag numbers according to the new 2022 regs. I think that's a shame as we've seen hunting pressure increase notably is the last 3-4...

    What shooting position were you in for your last shot at an elk?

    I voted standing with support only because kneeling with support wasn't an option. Seventy yard shot at the bull in the timber.

    Who would you hunt with?

    Elk guide and writer Andrew Maple Taylor. Dude had some pretty amazing hunts and put pen to paper to where you felt that you were right there on the mountain with him.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Ok. Beings others can offer their opinions I'll offer mine. I've followed along since the beginning of this thread and have read each and every post. I wish those pictures of that doe ( and the story actually ) weren't on here. I see little reference where this fits this thread. Sorry...

    Trekking poles….I don’t get it

    If I'm hunting my poles are in the pack. When it's time to haul meat it's like having four wheel drive. Keeps me balanced and you're using your arms as well as your legs while climbing and even better while going downhill. Even just hiking on a trail without packing meat I'm using them. While...

    Looking for new dad hunting advice please!

    Having two kids never slowed me down. But.....I had to choose my medicine so to speak. I pretty much gave up fishing when until they could go along. I worked overtime so the cost of my hunts didn't come out of the family funds. Made sure we went on family vacations. Made sure their mom's car was...
