The most important tactic is being familiar with the area. That far eclipses any one magic technique. The key to killing elk in Oct-Dec in most western states is knowing when to be where.
These are migratory critters. There are only 2 ways that I have found to learn “when to be where.”
1. A...
Good insight ^^ If there is a heartbeat and blood pressure, there will be trauma, bruising and bloodshot. If a wound is post Mortem, the entrance will look “too clean.” The hole will look like it was made with a hole punch. There will be no discoloration around the hole, no bruising, no dark...
IME, is tough on years like this. I would imagine most bucks are gonna be up high until conditions change. At least the decent bucks. The deer will migrate the last couple days of Oct. Bucks don't stay at 10,000' when the hoes are all down at 4500', regardless of the weather. Most years when we...
Same here.

Great insight. Feel like I should screenshot your reply and set as my phone background, for when I’m freezing my ass off on day 4 glassing for a needle in a haystack.
All 3 have their place, IMO. I own multiple pieces from all 3.
Sitka - Durability and quality is unmatched. Guys have hundreds of days on timberline pants and jetstream jackets and they barely look used. Plenty of online reviews back that up. I’d rather be wearing Sitka if I’m cutting wood...
What is your opinion on necessary skill sets and tactics that are the most important when hunting for 290+ post rut rifle bulls? (Easy to get tags ID, CO, MT, etc).
Looks like REI has 4 or 5 different options in stock, I'm gonna go down there and compare side by side with that chair zero. Thanks for the thread link.
I've used a buddy's chair zero a few times, while it is a game changer having a chair out there in general, I hated
how "mushy" that Chair Zero was. I feel like at any time I'm gonna fall over backwards in that thing.
They do offer a "highback" version of the chair zero, any thoughts?
Any...
