Best bino harness and why
I really like my AGC Hybrid Max. It’s extremely comfortable and has some extra pockets/storage space for a few small items. It doesn’t get in the way shooting my bow and stays in place when I need to move quickly.- Todd10

Hunting pack for a growing youth hunter
I picked the Sawtooth up at Scheels on a Father’s Day sale a few years back. -
Hunting pack for a growing youth hunter
I concur. I was able to adjust my old Mystery Ranch Sawtooth 45 to fit my 12 year old. Very easy to adjust the torso length too. -

Good tent for 3rd season elk CO
We used our buddy heaters at 11,000 feet this past fall with no issues. -
To move units or not to move units and other questions
I’d stick to the same area. Although my crew has been skunked for 4 years , each year we hunted the same area our opportunities increased with several close calls. Had to hunt a new area this year due to fires and my group really struggled. We eventually saw elk but spent a lot of time trying to... -
Budget Bow - Trick it out or leave it be?
My niece has a stock Infinite Edge and has taken several deer with it. She probably shoots it better than most hunters that start shooting their higher end bows a month before season. Not saying more expensive accessories don’t help but I’ve found there’s no substitute for practice. I practice... -
Stabilizer size and weights?
I played around with different stabilizers/weights over the years and ended up putting my old 6 inch limb saver back on for a little dampening. The longer ones actually hurt my consistency a bit. That said, a couple of my hunting partners shooting improved quite a bit with longer stabilizers. We... -
Which headlamp?
I go with the inexpensive Coast or Energizer headlamps. Batteries last just as long as my hunting partners expensive headlamps and the light is plenty adequate for tracking or getting in and out of the woods.- Todd10

First time elk hunting, Archery or rifle?
I was in the same boat and chose archery. The most exciting hunting I’ve ever done. I’m 0 for 4 on harvesting and can’t wait for September. Just interacting with elk during the rut makes the hunt worthwhile. -

Varying arrow length question
I’ve done quite a bit of shooting and in my experience you won’t notice a difference. Even when long range shooting your point of impact should remain unnoticeable. -
Rain pants vs gaiters?
Both. That said I have yet to pull my rain pants out of my pack on a September western hunt. I still carry them just in case.- Todd10
