    hiking vs jogging to prepare

    The last few years in my training, I've stopped jogging, running, and jumping (box jumps, jump rope, etc). I'm 53. Those high impact exercises are hard on my knees. They're great for the leg muscles and the lungs, but just hard on the joints. In place of running, I use an AirDyne bike. I...

    Call Wise Bulls

    "If the full moon rises early in the morning and sets early in the night, then it won’t matter; it’s going to be a dark night anyway. Moon phases are not caused by the shadow of the Earth falling on the moon. Instead, the moon orbits the Earth and is illuminated directly by the sun and how...

    Thanks. Fog over the Jemez valley at sunrise with a few hundred bull elk scattered everywhere made for an awesome photo opportunity. It was amazing.

    Primos Trigger Stick

    Leaving the strap open on the Primos sticks solves the issue of having to fumble with it when a shot opportunity presents itself. I find that it's unnecessary to use the strap while hiking, or at any other time, in the field. It's helpful for when you're storing them or transporting them...

    Primos Trigger Stick

    I use the tripod as a walking stick. It might get cumbersome or uncomfortable in your hand if you carried it for 10 miles up and down mountains, but it works just fine for most of my needs. When I'm rifle hunting, I carry it with me all the time. I extend the legs all the way out and release...

    The 2019 Elk Success Thread

    I hunted with a guide last week in southern Colorado for my first archery elk hunt. Was able to put an arrow in a nice 6x6 on the 3rd evening. I learned a lot. Can't wait to do it again.

    Freezer Inventory

    LOADS of axis in mine with a little elk at the processor right now. Got more axis that need to be killed before the end of the year too. Not hurting for good groceries around here lately. It's a blessing.

    To switch...Or not to switch

    I would switch if I were in your shoes. I've shot left-handed compounds before as well, and it was just as easy as shooting my right-handed bow. I'd rather have a 70# bow for elk.

    Who is bowhunting where?

    I'll be bowhunting elk and bear in Colorado in September. Deer (whitetail and axis) and hogs in Texas as well.

    Fishing Kayaks

    Dang! That sounds like a stretch of river that me and my fishing kayak would avoid like the plague! I get along fine with straight shaft paddles, but I've often wondered if I'd like a bent shaft or not. I like a good carbon fiber (light weight and stiff) paddle. It's worth the extra money to...

    Vortex Razor HD Gen II 3-18x50mm

    I decided to sell this scope. I lost my mule deer lease that I bought it for, and I'm just not using it. It's been mounted and shot enough to get it sighted in and to kill one axis doe. Other than that, it's just been sitting in the safe. I haven't taken it off the rifle yet. I'd imagine...

    Advice on elk hunt for 2017 with my dad

    I hope my question won't get me banned from this forum. :D I know this is the DIY public land hunt capital of the world. But I am wanting to take my dad on an elk hunt next year. He'll be 71 next year. He has had several health issues the last few years, so he isn't up to packing in on a...
