    First time Bow Elk

    Spare release in your pack. Do some summer shooting with your pack and bino harness on.

    Is this the same headlamp as the Peax?

    I have the sofirn white/red. It came with the 18650 3000mah battery. I have a spare nitecore NL1834 3400mah battery that works in it also.

    Up in smoke

    Glad you’re all ok and nice job getting the truck unhitched. Those trailer tires/axles look pretty clean. That fire started in the gear. Don’t rush to turn your son’s tag back in. Won’t be cheap and won’t be quick, but eventually you’ll have gear replaced. The trailer fire will become just a...

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    I’m no expandable expert either. Only have vortex 2.75 for turkeys. I have the blades superglued closed on one of the heads for practice shots.

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Last year was my first challenge, but we certainly analyzed data afterwards, and it added interest to the fun. Since @CorbLand did the data compilation, it is understandable he would look at it from a stats point of view. Although I don't understand why he says expandable shooters are in a pickle?

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I've done that. Cross reference results thread with the meatpole thread. Just tell us you drew no need for unit #s. Congrats to all of you that did draw. Nothing for me.

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    I thought it was funny. Yesterday evening I texted my NM app checker buddy "results starting to hit app". Waited till I knew he read the message, then sent this. "For MT 😂" We do have a rule though for actual results day, in place for 17th-24th. If they really do start hitting, no messing...

    Raking with your Bugle Tube?

    Patented textured surface to sound like a bull raking his antlers? A+ for a creative marketing strategy. But no.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    I would not do it cause I know I can't do the 7 miles. But hypothetically if I was, and the plan was 6 days, I would take all 6 days of gear with me. If the hunting is bad and you have to hike back out after 3 days that would be unfortunate. But if the hunting is good, it would be a sucky...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    One of handicaps of being a newish hunter (or new at anything) is the inability to decipher what your told is true or not. Lots of wrong information out there being passed off as gospel.

    I have this in my first aid kit.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    A little variety in that menu might not be a bad thing. I know I wouldn’t want to eat 3 peak meals a day for 6 days. Maybe a couple breakfasts and for dinners. I wouldn’t eat them for lunch.

    What do you run in your elk pack???

    Few of you guys have your bear deterrent listed as "in pack" gear. Do you really keep it inside your pack or did it make the list because its "on" the pack?

    Anyone wish they didn’t fletch their own arrows?

    I regret that I didn’t start fletching my own sooner.

    New Mexico Elk Draw 2024

    We’ve drawn as a party of 4, which is also the maximum you can have on an app.

    Western state draw results

    Results - CO 5/28-5/31, NM 5/17 or 24, WY elk 5/16. Thats all I can help you with. Regarding WY, they don't do draw till May so that is probably the main reason they can't post the results. The Jan deadline has nothing to do with making money off our money. The early date is a gift to WYOGA.

    Value of Old Intel

    Any intel should at least make the possible spots list. Doesn't have to be plan "A", but needs to be on the list. 50/50 they're there. I've hunted a spot that we chased all kinds of bulls around and then went back 2 years later and not a peep, track, or pile of poop. Didn't pan out, but we...

    New Mexico Elk Draw 2024

    We drew 2020 and 2022, so we're hoping the e/o year luck continues. Don't know if the results will be 17th or 24th, but I know my hunting bud will be checking his E-tag app every couple hours starting on the 15th.

    Four Wheele for the Mountains Considerations

    I don't own an atv, but I have a lot of experience as a passenger riding double with my hunting partners. Just a regular atv, not a 2 up. Bow cases stacked on back rack and bungeed. I wear my pack as normal, driver pack on front rack. Have done miles and miles this way. 250 seems light. I...
