Keep in mind that the farther in you go. The farther you have to haul the meat out, and you probably won't be able to do it in one trip.

Eric..........The 300gr Thor will kill any elk walking this earth. Use 110gr of BH 209, and fill the freezer.

When it says valid in 2nd and 3rd seasons. It's talking about the OTC units.

That's how I took it.

It's just like any other tag, except you don't have to go through the draw.

You have lots of time if you're going for an OTC tag. Narrow it down to a couple of units, and then we can help more.

I'm going through the same thing myself right now. I want to try a new unit,...

I don't think i've ever seen a post like this that they didn't say they plan to walk in a couple of miles to get away from the crowds. It makes me wonder how crowded it is a couple miles in from the...

Just in case you're not aware. Your OTC tag is good for all OTC units, except unit 54. So, you're not stuck hunting unit 80 if it doesn't work out.

Hunting should be fun. If you're not having fun. You're hunting for the wrong reasons.

I have enough experience to know I don't like being shot at. Those who think blaze orange doesn't work might not have enough experience.

I've always done it with the quarters on just like the video. I didn't have the video when I first started to do it, and I made a bit of a mess, but I got it done. I'm much better at it now, and the...

If the rut is over for your hunt. All you'll call in are the younger bulls that didn't get any loving during the rut. Cow calls should get them interested.

Ready as I can get. Was up to the hunting area this morning. Hunting partners are coming up from Bancarbo Co tomorrow, and we'll go up again to snoop around. Storm came in early today. It should be...

Exactly. New guys to elk hunting think that all it takes to get a trophy bull is to hunt the right unit. It takes much more than that. You need to be an elk hunter first.

Tape the muzzle so no moisture can get in. Leave a shot primer in when you aren't hunting.

Don't forget to change to a live primer when you go hunting. :)

You should buy "Public Land Mulies" by David W. Long. It will help you a lot.

Start reading.

Orange is not a problem. It's seen as a pale yellow like everything else they see. Except blue. They see that as blue.

Dump the plastic, and use these.

I'm late to this. Yes, I live in BV. Last year was early November, but that's not normal. I've also seen late September, but that's not normal either. Sometime in October would be the average.

I have a close friend who loves to climb all the 14ers in the area. He's my age, and has one of those SOS gizmos. On one climb a storm came in faster than he thought, and was trapped. He sent out a...

A loin cloth at 12,000 ft might be a little chilly.

I agree about the Boss, but as someone who has hearing damage from guns. I'd like to see you protect your hearing. The damage may not be noticeable at first, but it accumulates over time until it's...

Before you all hang me. I hope you know my post was my warped sense of humor.

I seem to have stopped the thread dead in it's tracks.

I just thought of something. I didn't get one welcome when I came to this forum.

This thread sucks!

Plus, i've only been thanked one time.

That sucks too!

Thank you. It's what my dad taught me in the 50's, and I liked it so much I've never done anything else.
