Looking for hunting partner to travel from Dallas area to CO for OTC archery elk this fall
I don’t get on here very often, but just happened across your post. Did ya have any luck finding a partner? I am just north of Dallas. Me and my buddy got hit by the same weather you did in 2020, and it was our first year of elk hunting and in the back country. Still had a great time. Waiting on...- Cope125

Alone Season 8
I am looking forward to the new season. I have watched them all. The guy last year, taking down the musk ox with a knife was epic.- Cope125

I think Texas motor speedway hosed themselves by hosting a race during hunting season. I feel they loose out on a lot of customers. I always choose to hunt instead. -

I have a neighbor with a big pond dam, probably 50-60 ft, and would go up and down it with a weighted pack.- Cope125

Ok, you are very familiar then. I know all of those areas. I try to stay away from grapevine though. Not a fan of the concrete jungle. Some pretty decent hunting along the Red though. -

Yeah, me and my buddy felt like we were getting laughed at, at times, on the local trails we used here in north texas. When people did ask, we got a lot of “better you than me”.- Cope125

Careful, with that plan. This February we were hitting 0 for lows for a few days. It’s not normal. But as soon as you think it won’t, it will. Kinda like my elk hunt last year, 10-20 inches of snow, the first week of September. Literally, 2 days prior, they said we might get 3 inches. And 4 days... -

I live in Anna, north of Dallas about 30 miles. Are you familiar with the area? -

Your backcountry training regimen
Last year was my first year for elk hunting in the mountains. I started in late spring, hiked at least once a week. Started out with about 25 lbs, and worked up to about 55-60. I feel I did pretty good in the mountains. The only thing I can really say kicked my butt in the mountains, was blow...- Cope125

Help me pick a new pack
By no means am I am expert on this. I bought my first pack last year. Did a lot of research. I ended up going with the MR Marshall. Was planning on being in the back country for 6-7 days. My thought was to go bigger. I didn’t want to chance to spend that kind of money, just to find out it was to...- Cope125

I am new to the website. I am an avid archery hunter. Me and a buddy did our first archery elk hunt in Colorado last year. Got our butts kicked by the unexpected snow storm. We still had a great time and learned a lot. Looking forward to doing it again this year, just hopefully without the snow...
