A Newbie hunts elk in southern Colorado, a review
I experienced the same with the Kuiu. If we were out in the plains and not hiking around in the woods, I would have strapped it to the side of the pack. In the woods though, it just wasn't feasible to have the barrel sticking way up above the pack. It was constantly hitting branches and trees so... -

That's an option that I'm looking at. I was hesitant with that one because of the gun being in front and potentially being in the way but I'll have to try it out. I think slimming the rifle down to something that's in the 7-8 lbs range will help as well. Is the rifle easy to access without... -

A Newbie hunts elk in southern Colorado, a review
After doing it once I totally agree. Need more time out there. Part of the issue is I'm in Atlanta, so it was 24 hours of driving over two days to get out and get back. Need to build up some more time off for the next adventure. -

What worked and what would I do differently? What worked My layering system was great. A base layer, fleece hooded mid layer and lightly insulated outer layer was perfect. The Wrangler pants with fleece lining were amazing and the socks were thick enough that the uninsulated boots were no... -

Equipment review I went the “ballin’ on a budget” route with my equipment. Part of it was I wanted to make sure I was truly interested in getting back into hunting before investing a ton of money. I made a few purchases that I considered expensive, but these were made with the thought of... -

A Newbie hunts elk in southern Colorado, a review
Past hunting experience and training I grew up mainly bird hunting. We did a lot of duck, goose, pheasant, dove and quail hunting and I loved it. I did kill one deer, a doe, when I was younger, but that’s it for large game. I haven’t hunted since college 20 years ago and was really excited... -

Kuiu Pro pack size for early Nov S. Colorado Elk?
Thanks for the feedback and a big thanks to @fmyth for the hookup on the code. (It wouldn't let me PM you back yet because of my post count but I wanted to show my gratitude.) I pulled the trigger on a 3600 and I'll do some test runs with my stuff to make sure it works or see if I have to go a... -

Kuiu Pro pack size for early Nov S. Colorado Elk?
I'd love to hit him up but still working on my 10 posts. As soon as I do I will definitely reach out. Good point on the load sling. How is the durability on yours? -

Kuiu Pro pack size for early Nov S. Colorado Elk?
Long time lurker and I love the forum, but it's time to start asking questions. I'm getting back into hunting after a 20 year hiatus so I'm pretty much a noob and I have a 3rd season Rifle Guided Elk hunt coming up in S. Colorado and I'm looking for a day pack for the hunt. We have a cabin to...
