    Bugling Elk in Lower Elevation September

    I am not an expert by any means having only gone elk hunting for the first time last September. But we had elk calling on the next ridge over from where we were camping on the 29th of August in NW Colorado. They readily responded to my rudimentary calling from the Thursday before the opening...

    Practical Hiking Slope/Vertical Gain Limitations While Hunting

    I am no elk expert having done my first hunt last September at the age of 53. I also have had many serious health issues. They include 3 knee surgeries and nerve damage in my bow arm from college football. I had a stent put in when I was 43 because of a Widowmaker Heart attack only 7 months...

    Colorado OTC license ?

    Forgive my ignorance but if I buy an over the counter license is that confined to a single GMU or am I able to use it in any OTC unit?

    Treating Merino Wool With Permethrin For Tick

    I used to work 20 years ago for Repel insect repellents and was told to avoid the cat while it was wet. Once it drys there is no issue.

    While I am at it I would love you guys to critique our layering system. We will be there for the first 2 weeks of the archery season. I planned on packing one each of a SS T with wicking fabric, then a Long sleeve wicking shirt, then a microfleece turtleneck, a down vest, my Cabela's Legacy...

    DIY Colorado Archery Elk Hunt

    Thanks for the info. I for sure wouldn't be able to find that with my scouting on google earth. But that should also concentrate where the herds are I would assume.

    DIY Colorado Archery Elk Hunt

    I like the boots very much. The MR pack wasn't one of the hunting specific models. I bought the Glacier after speaking with someone in customer service. It looks like a smaller Marshall is rated for 90 lbs vs 150 lbs and is about the same size as the Metcalf. I got it at moosejaw.com for...

    Delorme InReach NOS or Garmin Version?

    Is there any downside to purchasing a Delorme InReach Explorer vs the newer Garmin version? Someone suggested I get one of these NOS and save a bunch of money but don't know if there is any downside that would offset the money saved?

    Mystery ranch Metcalf: worth the cash?

    What Bambi said even within Mystery Ranch. I just bought the MR Glacier from Moosejaw.com. It is about the same advertised size as the Metcalf. It looks like a smaller version of the Marshall and is rated to carry 90 lbs. The Metcalf is rated to 150 lbs and has the load shelf. I am not...
