    Tent w/ Walking Sticks and Condensation

    Hi Folks - I started using a tent with trekking poles as support. Each morning Id have to collapse the tent to be able to take my poles with me for the hunt. What I noticed was that all the condensation that was built up overnight ends up falling on my sleeping bag when I collapse the tent...

    Pre-rut Central Colorado

    For those that have been out in the field in Central Colorado just the first week of November - will 2nd season this year produce a similar amount of big bucks as 3rd season has historically? Is it just a little too early? I can't understand for the life of me why anyone this year would burn...

    It looks like it will be an extremely dry summer in WY. What normally happens to the Elk Rut when it is extremely dry? - is the rut much less intense during the day? - is it much more intense and concentrated since the elk will centered around the same water sources? - does the chasing and...

    Expectation for Archery Elk Hunt - Blue Chip Unit

    Two new elk hunters heading to a blue-chip elk unit in WY during the rut for 8 days. Is it unreasonable to expect that both of us will kill bulls on our first hunt out west in 8 days? New elk hunters but a high quality unit (Unit 24).

    2020 WY Elk Rut Dates

    This is helpful. I had assumed bulls would cover more ground to investigate a cow call during that pre-peak week. Because the moon is so dark during that first option I assumed they would be buggling all throughout the day on the 13th-20th. May need to reconsider.

We're flying in the night before and sleeping 6 hours in Denver and then heading the morning to the mountain. Anyone ever use Diamox? How many days until acclimated? Hydration is key...

    Unit 24 WY Elk

    I drew it in the random. Really lucky. Would love to get everyone's view on hunting the last week of Sept archery and opening rifle vs hunting one week in mid Sept during prime rut (i think the 12th is prime rut start).

    Unit 24 WY Elk

    Hi Guys - first year hunting out west and drew Unit 24 elk in the random draw. I'm really excited but a bit overwhelmed as I didn't expect to draw this tag. Has anyone hunted this unit recently? I'd really like to take one with my bow - anything 250" and up is a trophy for me.

    Hunt "The Best General Units in Wyoming" Every Year

    It baffles me that some people on this forum are such low lives that they seek to find an issue with anything that gives another hunter an advantage. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what the OP is doing. He has moved to WY - that is all. He travels for work like many other people in...

    Mule deer behavior during the rut

    Hi guys - I will be hunting in SW New Mexico on a January archery rut hunt. Pretty new to muley hunting so my question. During a traditional early season hunt, mule deer are pretty predictable with feeding in the mornings and then bedding in a spot for most of the day. Hunting those deer...
