    WTS New Arc'Teryx LEAF Alpha LT Gen 2 Jacket (XL) + Alpha Pant Gen 2 Multicam (L)

    This is a new set. Very high quality, very durable, and weatherproof GoreTex camo from ArcTeryx LEAF. Purchased a few years ago and never used them. There's a lot of adjustability with the jacket and pants and they're excellent for layering. Quiet enough for hunting, durable enough for SHTF...

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    Yep, I have it down to a science. Tuning has never been a big issue for me, but I've had a lot of free time this year to focus on compound archery. Just trying to get every little incremental gain that I can at this point. People have their opinions on that, but the little things add up.

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    The former. My broadheads are shooting outstanding though without fletchings.

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    I just tune to shoot darts starting at 13/16" > bareshaft / walk back, and paper tuning only when something goes weird when they come off the string. I use that to filter out bad shafts and then I go fine tuning my rest with broadheads. Then I follow the procedure for zeroing my Canyon Pounder...

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    Well I got 15 of the Sirius Gemini shafts in a 250 spine and cut some of them down an inch shorter (down to 30.25"). They are absolute darts at 301FPS (about 453gn TAW with the IW S100 BHs). They seen way more forgiving than the standard length that I run. My 454gn TKOs are grouping tight to...

    WTS New Arc-Teryx Beta SL Hybrid Hunter Green Size XL (Men's)

    I got this with my REI dividend last year right before the summer hit. Never wore it and I lost 30lbs. Very good looking shade of green though! Length is also perfect (not too long, and not too short). $300 shipped CONUS only

    WTS Zamberlan 981 Wasatch GTX RR Size 13US / EU48

    These are brand new. Bought these and the size down, tried these on for about 10mins and determined that I needed the smaller size (feet are between a 12-13 US). I wasn't able to return them within the refund period, so my loss is your gain. $330 shipped CONUS only

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    Not to mention packing the meat out if you're lucky.

    Hunting in grizzly territory

    Exactly right. The lessons from that tragedy are along the lines of: - Watch your partner's 6 at all times - Communicate with your partner when you're about to put your guard down in bear country - Keep your bear pistol ready to party at all times - Know how to operate your firearn and your...

    Hunting in grizzly territory

    Definitely go with a knowledgable guide. Grizzlies are nothing to mess around with, and they always seem to appear when I've least expected them. The very second that I've been just a little complacent is when they've shown up to say hi. And if you haven't encountered one before, nothing will...

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    The only RF video I've seen was Dudley's interview. I haven't spent much time on Youtube other than watching what I needed to for learning how to tune / time / sync my bow and different stretching / workout routines. I can't really stomach social media influencers lol, but Dudley, MFJJ, and Mtn...

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    My DL is somewhere between 31-31.25". I don't like outserts, but that would have to be a long outsert to keep my fixed broadheads from hitting the shelf. I'm going to stick with the IW collars and inserts though. Haven't broken any shafts since I started using them. Now I get the politics...

    Backcountry hunt pack weight

    My 5-7 day hunting pack is usually right under 50lbs. Luxury item is my 1.3lb tent insert for my Hyperlite tent. Sea to Summit stuff sack with my puffy coat or other layers makes a great pillow.

    We shot some wild hogs and used them for target practice afterwards.

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    Yeah I definitely get that. I might just take my chances with the lighter / flat shooting arrows with the higher FOC. They fly excellent and they're very fun to shoot. It's funny, it's looking like the first 1/2 dozen arrows that I built before I went deep down the arrow building rabbit hole...

    Target Panic and Shot Execution in Bowhunting, By Andy May

    Back tension has also helped me tremendously in a relatively short time span! I use a UV button release, but I can focus almost entirely on applying back tension and my brain just holds the pin where it needs to be. There was a caveat that I noticed though. I was still panicking when I had to...

    Conflicted on my archery setup for stalking elk

    Wanting to get some perspective from those of you who stalk elk. I'm going out on my first archery stalk for late season elk in WA state. I've taken time off the 9-5 routine since early May to learn compound archery (needed a break anyway), so I've been working my ass off shooting daily, working...
