    Few advice for Newbies from a Newbie

    I keep waiting for the punchline...but I guess this is real! Your killing me smallz... I agree with the poster that says he gets anxiety because he only has a couple of days left... I am not saying I don't think about my wife and kids, but this is insane. Like see a psychiatrist insane.

    CO Drought

    Last year was a tough one, and I don't know if it was the crazy snow or drought. We got on 1-2 week old elk sign (this is the 3/4 week of Sept), but couldn't get on anything fresh. Our best guess was that the elk moved to lower elevations. The prior year we were in them everyday from 10-11k...

    What happened to OnX this year?

    OP here. I was running andriod S10, and had no problems with OnX in 2019 (s7) in CO. I think it was all the upgrades they did that screwed me over. I had everything ready to roll when I left TN, got into the middle of CO and OnX took a dump. I actually like the app, like the share function...

    What happened to OnX this year?

    OnX really sucked this year. From having to go back to civilization to redownload the maps after they didn't download properly, to terrible programming on the downloads, to topographical benches that end up being ravines, etc., I am thinking about trying something else. Luckily my brother had...

    WTS Mystery Ranch Pintler Evolve Camo Size S

    I am selling my Mystery Ranch Pintler as it is to large for me. I purchased it brand new and used it 10 days on an elk hunt in CO. The Mystery Ranch website said the small was good for 29-34 waiste size, I believe, and I am a 29, but by the end of the trip I had the pack cinched down as far as...

    Colorado Dark Timber Wind Challenges

    I wonder if this is why the guys that just run and gun consistently shoot elk. They just keeping plowing through until they get a situation that works, which is what we did, except we running up the learning curve mountain.

    Colorado Dark Timber Wind Challenges

    I hunt whitetails in TN, and it is rare to have complete inconsistency. I usually get a thermal or a prevailing that is relatively consistent. When I was up high in CO, the wind would be swirling before the sun came out and after the sun went down, except for the two (out of 10) days when the...

    Colorado Dark Timber Wind Challenges

    I guess we could have pulled out and waited for the one day where the wind was completely quiet and the woods were dead, but then nothing was talking...and we would have wasted two days. It just seems that some guys are consistently killing elk, so they have to beat the wind somehow.

    Perspective Elk units

    The Elk101 course is pretty good for the price. You will get most of it just by immersing yourself in the internet elk world though.

    Colorado Dark Timber Wind Challenges

    Do I change locations to try to find a topography with a more consistent wind? I feel like I would have gotten it done if they wind would have just been relatively consistent.

    Colorado Dark Timber Wind Challenges

    My brother and I went on our first elk trip to Colorado, OTC this year. We were there the 18-29th ish. We ended up hunting some hellacious north facing timber with blowdowns everywhere up at 10400 to 11000 ft. And for a couple days we were on bugles and bulls every day. The problem was that...
