    Oh Crap Gear (Backup Gear)

    Agreed. There's a few backup items while in the field like mentioned, knife, headlamp, batteries mainly. Then there's backup for other items at the truck or camp. Two is one, one is none.

    First time archery elk in Colorado

    I hate to beat a dead horse but don't even think for one second you are going to pack the elk out by yourself, it's unrealistic. In fact, just breaking the animal down by yourself is going to be quite a chore and you may have to act fast. If they die in the sun, that's where you clean him. Also...

    Interested in a hybrid longbow

    Do yourself a favor and check out Acadian Woods. He sells a model called the Treestick that is a hybrid. I just recently shot Tim's, the owner, and will be ordering one in the future. He's been around a long time, I'm currently shooting his one piece recurve.

    Bad shot

    I'll say this, and I'm not knocking you because you do whatever feels best, but as bowhunters there are going to be those times and we need to move on. You gain lessons with experience, there really is no other way. I've done the same thing but stayed in the game and then shot my first elk, a...

    Essential items in your daypack

    Reflective markers that clip on tree twigs. Good for marking a blood trail or marking a trail you are going to hunt again. Non reflective surveyor tape is essentially useless in the dark .

    First elk hunt

    Very well could have been pressure. However, not seeing any fresh sign seems that they may not have been in the area for some time. The hearing bugles thing can be tricky because you don't know for sure whether it is other hunters or actual elk. you can try to determine on a topo map if where...

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf 2015 made in USA

    I bought this pack on here last year and it even smelled new! I used it once this year in CO. No tears or stains, basically as new. It has the NICE frame in size medium and a small waistband. Has lid, load lifters, and water bottle holder. I added a small pouch that works great. It is a 2015 so...

    KUIU Guide jacket out of stock, what is a good replacement?

    I found the Browning Hell's Canyon jacket a few years ago. Has a nice odor killing inner fleece lining and a soft outer shell. Was pretty cheap too but well made. I can see where a lot of folks say not to bother. I do wear it but usually only for a short time in the mornings and at night. I wore...

    Hunting archery elk with a two wheel drive

    Man, I've only hunted out west twice but needed 4 wheel drive on both trips on multiple occasions. Not to sound like a smart aleck but if you own a vehicle with 4 wheel drive and don't plan to use it for hunting out west what good is it? I'd sell both of them and buy something with 4 wheel drive...

    Archery vs upper body lifting

    Shoot right after you workout, just don't do this all the time. It's a good way to mimic real hunt conditions as you will most likely be somewhat fatigued during the hunt. Your muscles will be really warmed up and your heart rate will be elevated. You may not shoot as steady but you won't be...

    Any Louisiana input

    I may be too late but if you're still downtown and want to listen to some good jazz music while you eat check out Muriel's. Our fishing is second to none but limited without a boat. That Hwy down to Grand Isle has prob. some of the best bank fishing and you can wade fish on Grand Isle in the...

    Running vs Biking

    I'm not an expert by any means but what I find best is to mix things up. My first year I did more biking and running and was not in as good of shape as last year when I really mixed things up. I ran stairs at work, I walked up the stairs skipping a step each time with my pack on, I hit the gym...
