Wisconsin First Elk Hunt
I don't know what to think... 200 elk with a moderately low herd growth rate and a recent introduction (granted these areas are off-limits). It's only 10 tags though and it certainly will generate a lot of hype. Plus the money in to continue to improve habitat and reimburse part of RMEF's... -

Steven Rinella and Rob Bishop
I really appreciate the image Steve portrays for pro-public lands outdoorsmen and women. He kept his head and had an honest (at least on his side...) discussion without bashing Bishop. That's the way people develop working relationships and actually problem-solve. It's probably my young, naive...- Wisco

Backpack In or camp by the truck
I was in your shoes last year, planning my first elk hunt, trying to stick to a budget, not a clue where to start... Questions on here is a great way to start! Followed by videos on YouTube from Randy and the like as well as the many podcasts out there. It certainly helps give you a variety of... -

QAD Hunter Issues
Shot my bow today to verify, there's a slight wobble with FPs but not very noticeable. Not perfectly straight on impact though meaning it's probably not tuned to my form? If at all? I'm going to try to paper and bare-shaft tune and if those don't work, I'm going to look into a new rest. And if... -

QAD Hunter Issues
Oh, another thing I'll add is my arrows don't always come in straight. They usually have a slight angle to them on impact. And I've noticed some goofy looking flight at times. -

QAD Hunter Issues
I'm not going to lie, I never tested my BHs like I should have in the past. I shot FPs out to 30 yds and would fire one or two BH at 20 yds and go hunting. I shot all my deer within 20 yards so I honestly have no clue if this was always an issue. Prepping for my first elk hunt this year I... -

QAD Hunter Issues
I tried tuning the broadheads via walk-back and by adjusting my rest. (Not sure if there are other ways). I kept getting inconsistent groups though. Some to the left, some to the right, some high, some low. I would expect at least moderately consistent groups. At 30 yds, my FP groups are size of... -

QAD Hunter Issues
1) BHs have clearance. 2) Used the G5 Montec's which i think are pretty well regarded as good fixed blades. I tried out some old Muzzy BHs of mine before the Hypodermics and still had issues with that. Even the Hypodermics aren't perfect. So the BHs could be part of the issue, but I think... -

QAD Hunter Issues
I have a Hoyt Charger shooting 60 lbs and had a hell of a time this fall getting fixed blade BH's to shoot consistently. My FPs shoot groups just fine out to 50 yards but my BHs couldnt group at 30 yards. I ended up getting expandables to at least get me through the season. The bow has been... -

Taking Care of "The Boys"
Hey fellas, Just wondering what you guys do to prevent chafing, swamp ass, and the like while putting on the miles in the elk woods. Powders or sprays? Merino boxers or compression shorts. Any other tips? Thanks in advance!- Wisco

Elk Calling Instructional Videos
Hey guys, just wondering if you've had any success with any of the different elk-calling instructional videos out there? Seems like a lot of people prefer ElkNut's videos but just wondering if there are any other videos people like to use? And preferably something I can just download rather than... -

What Brand Backpack?
Well... the long-awaited day has arrived. My Exo came last night and I just got back from a short hike with it. I am so torn. They are both GREAT packs but I'm kind of kicking myself because I'm really comparing apples and oranges. The Exo is 3500ci, while the Reckoning is 5000+. Not that this...- Wisco

WI Elk Herd
Oh that's definitely a bummer... I guess Wisconsin's only targeting the two current herd ranges as the rest of the state isn't habitable (mainly due to cropland) which is somewhat of a bummer. But I'll certainly take what I can get at this point. And will do! Planning on putting a camera out... -

WI Elk Herd
Oh it's definitely a great place, too bad you couldn't have made it a few more times. I don't usually bow hunt that area, but with the chance of hearing some September bugles, how could I not consider it now! -

WI Elk Herd
Well sure, in the 2 years we've had elk there, they've done fairly well against wolves. However, they've struggled definitely struggled historically with wolves in the Clam Lake herd. Not saying wolves can't be there, but a management plan would be nice... Either way, I can't wait to watch...
