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... -

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... -

WI Elk Herd
Was up in Black River Falls State Forest turkey hunting this past weekend... saw both a cow and a bull while out and about. To most of you, that's normal. For me, seeing elk in the wild (while hunting), it's a first. So I just wanted to say thanks to RMEF and any other volunteers for all their... -

Where to Find Archery Info
Hey guys, I've been shooting archery for 7 years now and know the basics just fine. But I'm looking to up my game now and learn some of the more intermediate/advanced tricks of the trade, tuning, building a good arrow, etc... Anyone have a good source for where they learned their stuff? Youtube... -

Elk Calls
Honestly have no idea where to start... What brand, how many calls, what type of calls, etc... Obviously I'll need a bugle and at least one diaphragm call but do I need a whole set? I'll be hunting CO archery (9/15-9/24). I listened to the podcast with Rocky Mountain calls so I was thinking of...- Wisco

What Brand Backpack?
I can't decide between MR, EXO, Kifaru, and SG and really can't narrow it down considering I don't have the ability to try any of them on. I think all of them have the ability to fit my needs, so at this point I'm just looking for what company do I want to support. I'd like to support the...- Wisco

Mystery Ranch Sale
What are the thoughts about MR (or any other good pack brand) ending up on camofire any time soon? From different posts I've seen it looks like they ended up on camofire around April last year. Any chance that will be the case again this year? I'm getting really antsy about getting a pack so I...- Wisco

3rd Axis Adjustments or Angle Adjusting Rangefinders
Hi guys, just wondering your thoughts on how to combine the tech from rangefinders and sights. It seems like people are interested in the 3rd axis adjustable sights for those uphill/downhill shots... is this to be used in place of an angle adjusting rangefinder? Or alongside it? It seems like... -

The Struggles of the Newbie... Advice Please
Hey guys, as a newbie, I'm trying to figure out as much for my first elk hunt this fall as I can. So I'm sure you'll see me asking for advice a few times over the next couple months. I think I've got most of the basic application strategy and what not figured out so far. So now I'm starting to... -

AZ Draw, Should I Do It?
I know we're down to the wire, so any answers I can get are welcome. But is it worth it to apply for AZ points? I know it's potentially the best state but points are kind've expensive. I feel like I will be fine hunting OTC tags as well as applying for points in CO, WY, MT, and drawing the... -

Fighting for Public Lands, While Growing the Hunting Base
I spend a lot of time thinking about these two topics. And I keep thinking of some sort of system where we can grow the hunting base (through cheaper NR fees and perhaps the hope of drawing good tags in state other than NM/ID) in exchange for more support for our public lands. But it leads me to...- Wisco

How Much Public Land is Too Little?
My philosophy when hunting public land has always find the thickest, nastiest, hardest to get to places and set up there because nobody else wants to and the animals find sanctuary in that. And when I started listening the Randy's podcast, he said he always looks for the units with less public... -
