    Best dates for fall CO bear?

    Have never gone hunting just for bears there. Have killed several in the early season over water holes when it was very hot, a few over elk carcasses middle of season after packing elk meat out, and also near berry patches randomly. Also called in and shot a bear using an elk call, mimicking...

    Binoculars with blackouts or kidney beaning?

    Well, about the only thing I can say is the Zeiss were the only ones that had the issue - for me. (Everybody's eyes are different.) But, to answer your question - I have not had any issues with binoculars I've owned (Vortex, Swarovski, NIkon, Kahles) - and I have not had any issues with...

    One pin or three pin slider

    Actually, your 30 yard pin will likely be dead on at about 6-8 yards, 2” high at 20 yards, dead on again at 30 yards, and about 2-3” low at 35 yards. Try it! (Will vary depending on arrow weight and speed, obviously)

    One pin or three pin slider

    If you can deal with the clutter, three pin. If you can’t, one pin. I use one pin slider to keep sight picture cleaner. Set it at 34 yards and it’s good enough in elk from point blank to about 37 yards. Beyond 40 yards I am ranging everything. KISS. Just have to be able to judge one...

    Calculating backcountry miles

    If I want to know how far I’ve hiked I just leave the GPS on for the entire duration. Eliminates any guesswork and feeling like a chump when you say “I backpacked an elk out 8.12 miles each way” - because then at least you know the distance is correct, even if you still sound like a chump.

    Binoculars with blackouts or kidney beaning?

    8x42. It was most unfortunate as I really liked the glass and wanted to make they work for me. It wasn’t to be. I have used several binoculars over the years from a variety of manufacturers and never experienced the kidneybean issue before or since. When I held them juuuuusst right the...

    The Gohunt Effect

    I’ve never had or used go hunt. Never paid attention to it. General trend has been fewer tags, more applicants, harder to draw a tag.

    Binoculars with blackouts or kidney beaning?

    Yes. Zeiss conquest. Without eyeglasses. Zeiss sent replacement eyecups which were longer at no charge. Issue still existed. Returned binoculars to the store.

    Lumbar pad foam

    That is interesting. Every body is different. I never skip leg day and have glutes (LOL), so the normal thickness of a lumbar pad is bothersome to me. When a pack is lightly loaded or near empty a normal lumbar pad feels like someone is standing on my lower back. Even an empty pack gives me...

    Lumbar pad foam

    Try this. For $14.88, worth a shot - feels very similar to the lumbar pad foam. I use it for my treestand seats.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    I’m impressed that someone actually read that far down into my post. LOL.

    Wrangler ATG, an affordable option!

    Yes. I tried those as well. Lighter/thinner material - which was nice - but not much stretch. 97% nylon, 3% spandex. Definitely not as stretchy as the flexpeditions. They felt just like any normal pair of nylon pants.

    Wrangler ATG, an affordable option!

    Duluth has a bunch of different pants they offer. Need to look at the percentages materials. Their Flexpedition is 89% nylon/11% spandex. I’d like a lighter weight pant (material thickness) but couldn’t find one they offer with as much spandex. Many of the other performance pants are in...

    Wrangler ATG, an affordable option!

    The wrangler pants are alright, but too tight in the thighs. They have a bit of stretch and are fairly thin. Had to go with the relaxed version of the duluth flex pants which are thicker material and don't breathe as well.
