    UA Heatgear

    In my opinion ....UA heat gear is fine for sport activity but for hunting/backpacking it absorbs too much oil and bacteria. A few hours of wicking and the material smells pretty bad. A few days of hunting in the same gear, you won't be able to stand the smell.

    CO unit 81

    I have hunted 81 a couple times, including last year. We left after a day and a half last year to a different unit. We couldn't even find a place to camp because of all hunters. Not saying there are not elk there, but 81 has turned into a circus. I can't believe CPW kept it an OTC unit. Also...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Me after reading the statistics: "I have no chance at getting the COVID19 and if I do I will for sure live." Me after reading the statistics: "This is my year to draw an AZ elk tag and when I do I am shooting a 380 inch bull."

    Do they really climb 1500' or 2000'

    It's all relative. Have heard of guys hiking 60 vertical miles in 8 days. Got to be "Gritty" to cover over 39'000 feet a day though. ;)

    New Mexico - GMU 52

    Camped up there last week. The elk are still there. Plenty of water where I was. You really aren't going to get an advantage by forum info in 52. There are elk everywhere in that unit. You are just going to have to get boots on the ground to find them when you are there. Go where there isn't...

    Jason Hairston of KUIU passed away today

    I don't know how many here follow rodeo, but Canadian bull rider Ty Pozzobon took his life last year at the age of 25. It was confirmed after his death that he had CTE. Obviously football gets a lot of CTE attention, but it can be a problem in other sports. I know many people are skeptical of...

    Colorado OTC Archery Elk Advice

    Beastland, you probably are only looking for reassurance on your plan. It seems like you have done some homework. Although it may ease your mind, no matter what info ppl. on here give you it won't make you have a successful hunt. At this point, just pick a spot and go with it. Colorado has a lot...

    Elk tag

    If I am reading your question right, you are unable to sell the tag you drew. Big game tags are nontransferable in New Mexico.

    LF NM Guide Draw Outfitter for cheap 2-day min

    Davsco is on it. I am a hunter that used the NM outfitter loophole to hunt DIY. It has now been changed in the law that you must be fully guided, two full days. I specifically ask if there was any way a guide would glass with me, call it good, and let me be on my way. This is now prohibited in...

    "THE NRA IS KILLING OUR KIDS" and other crazy comments out there

    I am a strong 2nd amendment supporter, NRA member, and a gun owner. What I don't understand is the attitude of criticizing everyone that wants to change this culture that keeps producing mass shooters. Do we not all want this to stop? Don't we all wish these shooters couldn't get their hands on...

    "THE NRA IS KILLING OUR KIDS" and other crazy comments out there

    I agree with flatlander, not amusing. There are many aspects about this issue that are not amusing. For one, real people are dying in the places that are supposed to be safe for our kids. Also, I do want to point out that whether we want to admit it or not, there is a real problem in this...

    Unit 78 Colorado

    Beautiful country, some elk, LOTS of ppl. camped to hunt (not always hunting). With 3 weeks in there I am sure you will figure it out and find some elk. Don't be afraid to move a few times.

    Outfitter Help

    thehuntingcompany.com You can't go wrong with these guys. One of the best in the business, IMO. I have been with them when I first got into elk hunting and took my wife on a cow hunt. I hunt DIY now so I don't know their cost these days. I would say they are a little bit higher than 6000 but...

    Colorado Unit 81 & 78

    Yes and no. That was our experience in these units, but the pressure is high in most OTC units. We are talking a very large area here though. You can find areas in any unit that will not have any pressure, and it varies every season/year. Check the Colorado hunting stats. Unit 81 and 78 have...

    Colorado Unit 81 & 78

    Hunted 81 and 78 last year. Had people camp right beside us. Had people bust our set ups multiple times. Watched trucks and atvs drive through meadows at daylight and dusk, off designated trails. We did see a few elk but also lots of hunters. As Rinella says, there is your hunting party and...
