NM Elk Draw
Put in for NM for the first time as well. Can’t win if you don’t play. Definitely a long shot… -
Bipartisan bill to reintroduce wolverines in CO legislature.
Personally I wouldn’t mind loss of winter rec areas for Wolverine reintroduction. Seems like it would help deer and elk during their most vulnerable time as well.- Elkhntr50

Tent/sleeping bag help?
I’ve used a six moon designs lunar solo tent, enlightened equipment 20* quilt and a neo air x lite pad in a wide range of conditions and it’s always kept me warm and dry. Really lightweight and functional set up.- Elkhntr50

Help me pick a new Bino harness.
I’ve been using the marsupial for a few years now and love it. Very simple and svelte design. Super comfortable to wear all day and does a great job at protecting my binos. -
Why do you like your gaiters?
I’ve used kuiu’s yukon gaiters for the last several years. They’ve worked great for me. They’re breathable, durable, comfortable and keep my legs and feet dry. Do everything you want a gaiter to do. Once they wear out I plan on buying another pair. Haven’t owned another pair of gaiters so I have...- Elkhntr50

Favorite Wild Game Meal
The last few elk I’ve killed I’ve cut out the flat iron steaks from the shoulder blade (saw it on a YouTube video). They’re my favorite cut. They’re the right amount of tender, bite and very flavorful when you dry age those front quarters. My favorite way to cook them is reverse sear. Smoke for...- Elkhntr50

Puffies
I get a lot of use out of my stone glacier puffy. I got a size large which layers well over my size large base layers and midlayers and under a Sitka dew point also in size large. Nice to wear while glassing, taking a break and eating a snack, around camp in the morning or evening and as others...- Elkhntr50

Nevada - Is it Worth it?
I apply in Nevada. Might not be the best investment but I live in a neighboring state and it’s exciting to make a list of dream hunts each year and anxiously await draw results. I don’t go to casinos, so I guess this is my gambling addiction ha- Elkhntr50

Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!
I think it might be little wider than the stock grip. I just measured the uv with some digital calipers and it’s 0.84 inches wide -
Boom sticks are cool...but show off your bow!
I really like it. The back has the perfect grip angle for me. Really easy to lock my wrist in how I want it and flatten my palm in the right spot before I draw and keep it in the same spot as I hold and execute my shot. Gives me a really consistent grip. Also like the squared off edges, helps... -
Bullets for muzzleloaders
I’ve had great accuracy with 300 grain thors and 77 grains of Blackhorn 209 by weight out of my CVA MR-X. I’ve only hunted whitetails with this but it performed great on the two I’ve shot. One was a pass through and the other I recovered the bullet out of the back hip on a frontal shot. -

Retire the switchback?
Levi Morgan recently made a video where he bought a switchback off eBay and killed a nice buck with it. I believe the only negative comment was it was a little slow. Other than that, it seemed to kill the buck just fine. I would say stick with the switchback. Those came out when I was just... -
The January Topic: KUIU vs Sitka!
I wear a little bit of both depending on the piece. I like sitka’s dew point rain gear and really like kuiu’s kutana and attack pants.- Elkhntr50
