    Kuiu sizing tall skinny guy

    Similar build, 6'1", 180 and fairly fit and have mostly Kuiu. Yes, most of the gear is more athletic fit. I use all XL's unless I want a really tight fit. The Large Guide jacket in particular was very tight in the pits, so I had to upsize. Arms are bit long now but it works. If you have any lats...

    Retire early to hunt more?

    Get rid of your debt as fast as you can, then work for several years after that to save up for the next chapter. Without debt, you suddenly have a lot more coming in and not much going out. Max out your pre tax retirement, then start saving post tax for your hunts. I would also suggest getting...

    Elk Springs Ranch RFW Colorado

    I'm considering taking my nephew on a late season RFW elk hunt on the Elk Springs Ranch property. He has enough points and we've hunted other RFW properties with good success, so we know generally how the gig works. Does anybody have any experience with this ranch hunting elk in December or...

    Boulder County, CO - How many buckets of red paint will be thrown at us for wearing orange?

    You would be surprised how many hunters live in and around Boulder, my family being many of them. You should be fine, just make sure the areas are open to hunting and I suggest avoiding the popular hiking trails that start in Boulder.

    GPS help

    I have both onx and an inReach Explorer. I use onx for my gps and my inReach for communication. onx is so much easier to use for GPS. I run onx on a Iphone5 and just recently had my battery changed for less than $50. I can get days on my onx without a recharge....putting it in to airplane and...

    2019 Colorado mule deer

    Good call moving camp to lower elevations when a big snow is on the horizon. I've experience many hunters that tried to move camp too late and had to be rescued...not a very fun experience, but you only do it once.

    Big News (well for me it is anyways...)

    EF441W7R - anyone else have this RFW tag?

    I've received calls back fairly close to the start of the season in the past. Since they're new they're probably a bit disorganized. Your son will have a blast on the hunt.

    Questions for Tundra Owners

    I have a 2015 SR5 and love it. I usually buy used but in researching I could get one brand new for around the same price as a used one that was a couple years old. Purchased the least expensive off the lot...no frills just basic gear. I can pull essentially anything with it....my 4.7 liter...

    Elk Habitat and Strategy question

    In my experience, they predominately use the north facing slopes due to the shade while bedding and in a lot of cases the north facing slopes are heavily treed so they have good cover. If the north facing slopes don't support good feed, they'll move to the adjacent slopes to eat late in the day...

    Garmin inreach HuntView questions

    Onx is the way to go for navigation. Get your battery replaced on your phone...It cost me $29 to replace my battery on my Iphone5 which I used exclusively with onx. I also have an Inreach but don't use it for navigation only for texting. Also, put your phone on Airplane and Low Power mode. It...

    Rangefinder for archery and rifle shooting out to 500 yards

    I have a Nikon as well. It's terrible at long distances....I don't even use it for rifle hunting. Just bought a Sig and am very impressed so far.

    Torn CCL?

    My Brittany had TPLO on both legs. One about 6 months after the other....its fairly common when one goes the other is right behind it due to the excessive stress on the good leg during the injury and rehab. The hardest part was keeping her off the repaired leg during rehab. She was ready to...

    Colorado Unit 76 Mule Deer

    I hunted sheep in there a few years back and know the roads north of Creede fairly well. Shoot me a PM if you're looking at that area.
