My brother lives in Casper. He has a prosthetic leg which makes walking on uneven terrain tough. I was hoping he could be my "guide". But I was thinking there would be roads for him to walk. Are there at least some foot trails in and out of those Wilderness areas? His father in law lives...
Went for the first time last year. Was in the arid area between Rifle and Meeker and west of the highway that runs between them. We saw elk but never got closer than 150 yards of them. Another hunter busted a herd of free-range cattle that ran straight in their direction. Busted them out of the...
Hey folks, can someone please post the Onyx hunt maps promo code? If I'm not mistaken I think it is Randy. But I am not sure and I am needing to go ahead and purchase it. Headed to Colorado right now! Can't wait to get there. It's been a long haul since yesterday afternoon.
My father and I are heading out on our first elk hunt ever this year. (Hunting buddies are taking us along with them). Of course my dad is watching every elk hunting show he can find on the outdoor channel. I keep telling him to stop watching that and just watch Randy's videos on YouTube. His...
I knew there would some good opinions in here. Thanks guys. I usually whitetail hunt and remove it when in stand. But was thinking (after watching so many elk hunting videos) I would not take it off at all. So I've been practicing with it on. But my current one is a little bulky and does have...
I currently use a one piece easily removable quiver. But it seems like I see a lot of the TV and youtube guys running the two piece. Can someone enlighten me on the benefit of one vs the other? Thanks!
Thanks for that helpful info Elkduds. I appreciate your insight! I've gotten some really good tidbits on here. So many I need to take notes and refer back to them. I should start a little log book.
I have a Garmin Oregon 450. It's a handful of years old. I used it on a couple public land deer hunts in GA and decided it just wasn't for me. Now I'm getting into elk hunting and hope to be in it for a while, so I pulled this sucker out of the drawer and am considering using it. My question to...
I find this thread intriguing. I used to have a 5x8 Haulmark. I loved that little thing. Curse the day I sold it. Wasn't as nice or large as your find but I loved it. Camped in it many times. I'd take off all the interior walls and spray foam insulation. Then reclad it. The aluminum cabinets...
Sounds like I am on the right path with this pack then. I'm headed to Colorado for the first time in Sept to camp in a plush 5th wheel then hike out for the day. So really all I need, for this trip at least, is a day pack. But I would like to spike camp in the future and hate to buy a new pack...
Guserto, how do you like the pack so far? Have you loaded it up yet? I'm in the market for a pack... I've never owned a frame pack and this one seems to be the one I like the most (and is reasonably priced). Watched a lot of videos and this methodology of being stiff where needed but flexible...
Great explanation...Thanks. To this Georgia boy it looks a little intimidating. But I'll handle it. Still a little worried about my 69 year old Pops. I'll keep his pack light and we've discussed sticking him in a blind if he's worn out. My buddies are telling me they glass a good bit but end up...
So far nothing. I have two buddies that are taking my father and myself...... They have hunted this same area about 5 years running and are pretty familiar with it. Yes, this is my dads and my first elk hunt......very excited. Dad is getting into shape. I am pretty fit and ramping up the...
