    Stone Glacier vs Kuiu vs First Lite vs Sitka

    I am 5'8" and 170 and medium athletic build so likely similar dimensions to you outside of length. KUIU I am mostly a large in tops and a true 32 in pants. The talus pants from KUIU are amazing, I use them exclusively for wet or cool mornings in spring turkey and once it gets a little cooler in...

    Lathrop & Sons Custom Boot System and Boot TBD Review! By Tony Trietch

    Good stuff, I have some Mountain Hunter Elite's in the pipeline headed my way soon! How is the all day comfort compared to other stiffer boots you have used? All of the stiffer boots I have ever had needed to be loosened when glassing, etc. Looking forward to painting the hills in the new...

    Elk hind quarters... what to do.

    Steaks, steaks and more steaks. I love all the round steaks from elk, the tri-tip is worth grilling whole, etc.

    Elk ribs

    They should be fine. I like to pre-freeze so the sawzall greases through it all but YMMV. Slow cooker or pressure cooker, then finish on the grill or in a skillet to sear and carmelize. Love deer and elk ribs...

    Meateater Recipe ~ Summer Sausage

    I like creating the spice kit myself since it gives you control of each flavor, but in the past have never had a cabelas or Lem spice kit that wasn't great.

    Meateater Recipe ~ Summer Sausage

    I finally got around to making summer sausage out of my elk trimmings from my tule cow last year and once again used the Rinella recipe here MeatEater Hunting - Cased Summer Sausage I added approximately 10% more ginger, mustard, mustard seed, and pepper than it calls for and still think I...

    Tight spot secondary grabber

    I can post up tonight! Just added it yesterday and shot with it and it made a huge difference on shot noise. Still not quite as quiet as a 2 piece with 2 grabbers would be, but dang close.

    Tight spot secondary grabber

    I have a bow that doesn't have the ability for a 2 piece quiver, so the tight spot it is. While it is a solid quiver, the single attachment point and the single arrow grabbers mean it makes a deadly silent bow, not as silent, but the secondary arrow grabbers help mediate that. Store -...

    Cutting the spine on a deer???

    There is a joint you can cut at the base of the neck/ chest that I cut to bring them out whole, then split when home (I usually freeze first and then cut into discs for neck roasts).

    The Grill vs Cast Iron

    I prefer the cast iron because the sear is better and the control is better. Sous vide is great too, but for elk and deer it takes so little time that I generally only do the cast iron. I save sous vide for longer durations. But, my favorite tenderloin and loin prep is carpaccio. Thaw, trim...

    Looking to buy your old range finder!

    Amazon.com : SIG Sauer Kilo850 4x20mm Laser Rangefinder, Black : Sports & Outdoors Have it as a backup and for those few times I hit the golf links... Great RF and if I didn't already have so much comfort with my Bushnell elite, I would carry this little buggar as my primary. Super light and...

    What did you get rid of from your pack after elk season?

    I got rid of a sleeping bag and went to a quilt and for warm stuff got rid of full pad and went to a 3/4 length. That dropped over a pound and for hunts with lots of glassing I added a REI mini camp chair at just over a pound. Net same weight (close enough) but much more comfortable glassing...

    AZ Late season 22N archery bull

    Does anyone have any thoughts on calling that late (mid-late NOV)? I have it on good authority that the bulls can still be bugling then, but not sure what kind of calling if any I should use? If nothing else I was thinking a pre-dawn bugle to see if they respond couldn't hurt, but that is...

    Sierra Designs Backcountry quilt

    I have now used this on two backpack hunts and also sleeping in the truck and I love it. Paired with a Klymit 3/4 length Inertia X Lite my sleep system came in at 2lbs 4oz. The pad took some getting used to, but the quilt is awesome and I was comfy down into the low 40's (estimated). I would...
