    Horses in elk country

    I'm hoping to start a thread where you horse savvy elk hunters will give tips and tricks to using horses for hunting elk. I've had a crash course in using horses in the backcountry this year and I know I'm not being as efficient or effective as I could be. We've had a few wrecks and a few...

    Thought I needed this after shooting coyotes with my buddies thermal setup. Turns out I don't ever need this. Trade for spotting scope? Trad bows maybe. Honeyholes? Just kidding

    Arrow weight

    I enjoyed reading the debate on arrow foc. I've got nothing to add as I would be just saying the same things as others over again, but it got me thinking about arrow weight. Most people seem to say that as arrow weight increases you get a higher trajectory, which is true if you lose speed...

    Asking permission

    Do any of you guys have success stories asking permission to hunt or trap private property? Maybe I'm just a sissy but I have a hard time driving onto someone's place and knocking. I recently wrote a couple letters and am hoping I get a call back.
