    2020 OTC hunt

    I was in Colorado this year hunting for the whole archery season. The first couple times I saw a carving on a tree I thought it was kinda cool. Made me wonder about the stories those woods held. But then I kept seeing more and more carvings. After a while it really started to bother me every...

    Who's recently gotten into the outdoors and dropped $$

    Skill and experience trumps equipment everyone. MLB players use wood bats that cost around 150 bucks and hit a lot of home runs with them… I never once hit a home run in high school with my fancy 400 dollar bat hahaha It’s a universal truth in every part of life. A race car driver could drive...

    MT Cow tags?

    Thinking I might try to get a cow tag this year and save some money while I learn how to hunt elk (ate a 700 dollar CO tag last year). I’d like to hunt Montana this year but I’m confused on the cow tag availability for non res. 1. Can I get a cow tag in MT and not a general elk combo license...

    Who's recently gotten into the outdoors and dropped $$

    I started hunting white tails for under 1000 dollars in gear. My tree stand was heavy as shit. I was often cold and my bow wasn’t the nicest. But I got out there, learned what the priority upgrades were and went from there. I went on my first backpack hunt for elk this year. Was out for the...

    Eastcoasters hunting out West

    I drove solo 18hrs straight to get to my hunt in Colorado this year. Wouldn’t want to run a rental car through the mountains like a did. Making the drive in one shot wasn’t an issue for me on the way there because I was so damn excited I wouldn’t have slept anyways. On the way back I spent the...

    Supertarp experience?

    I’m thinking about getting a super tarp and stove and wanted to hear what others experiences are with the supertarp. Sounds like an extremely versatile set up. What input do you supertarp owners have? When is the stove worth having? Pros and cons? Let me know!

    Colorado Unit 81 now a draw instead of OTC for Archery

    I hinted 81 last year and the crowding was pretty bad. Counted the trucks at one of the main trailhead and there was 50 at the th alone. I cant complain too much because I was part of the crowding too. I was there the whole season so I got the chance to meet quite a few hunters at trailheads...

    Swazi “the hood” vs Sitka heavyweight hoody

    Was wondering if Swazi’s hood would be comparable to the Sitka heavyweight hoody. Looking for a mid layer upgrade and am leaning towards the Swazi since it is way less expensive.
