First knuckle of my thumb tucked under my earlobe in the little "hole" and the tip of my nose on my cock feather. I shoot 3 under and am really liking this anchor!

I think a lot of different tactics can lead to a successful midday hunt. Sitting on a water hole or wallow always has the possibility of producing elk. Something I tried last year was just doing several calling set ups on a north facing slope that holds elk. I would call on and off for about...
Rod, I like your point. I also agree with Broken Arrow. I think shooting one arrow at a time allows you to mentally reset and fully concentrate on your next shot. Something that I'm going to work into my shooting more towards hunting season is shooting each shot from a different distance and...
Just the thought of hunting in general. There is always something gearing around in my head about hunting and how am I going to be the best I can be if I'm not at top condition? When my 4th, 5th, and 6th set of squats or deadlifts get tough, I think to myself about that bull over the ridge that...
I do interval sprints and hike hills with a pack for cardio. I'd like to try some Crossfit and more backpacking this summer. I also lift for about an hour and a half a day, really hitting it hard with free weights. I found this past year that having my legs in shape from big, bodybuilding type...
As far as a bow on a budget, 3 Rivers Archery told me that Samick makes great bows for someone interested in trying it out. They've got bows from something like $130 all the way up and you can also switch out to heavier limbs as you get stronger. I've also heard of checking out classifieds on...
Have you guys heard of Kestrel knives? To pricey for me but some might be interested in them. I believe the guy worked with Jason Hairston (Kuiu) to develop them. I believe they've got a skeleton knife coming in at .59 ounces with their lightest sheath.

If I was to shoot my compound this year I'd like to try the Ulmer Edge. Interesting head! Gonna go with either a Muzzy Phantom or a Woodsmen Elite outta my recurve this year.

Colorado for me. I've got family hunting private river bottom land out east here along with friends and guiding my little brother back home in the mountains on some public and private. I can't decide which :)........ Pumped though, huntin' with the recurve!

They'll probably have moved lower from where you will see them this summer, but you never know, elk can be found rutting above timberline in most every western state. I'm guessing you have read Cameron Hane's book. He likes to spot and stalk that country and his bulls have looked to be killed in...
WW, heck of a set up! I even thought about a wood burning stove but those high country thunderstorms might put a damper on that. Did it mention in there how much that weighs? This could give me something to do til turkey season... :)

Scour Google Earth for areas that are quite a bit greener than others as that will help locate seeps/small ponds for potential water and wallows. I've also found topo maps to be very useful for this. Locate the head waters of creeks and also scout the areas above this for small seeps and it will...
