    Just out of curiousity. Does the landowner get a kickback like they do/did in Wyoming if they let someone hunt on their land?

    Colorado Left Over Tag List

    Im going to have him hunt that area. It's his first-time out so it will all be fine... was just a little worked up at first. lol, I thought for sure I had tags for both of us on lockdown. If he gets something, we can run a few miles south into an over the counter area and kick around for an elk...

    Colorado Left Over Tag List

    WOW.... I had two screens open. One with my buddies sign in and one with mine. I had put everything in my cart right before I put his in and got to the checkout page before his did. Mine came up as no quota available and they gave him one a minute later. Thats just F***king great. Thanks a lot...

    altitude pills

    We always try and stop and sleep at 5-7k before we get out and do anything in the high elevations. Was going to try the Wilderness Athlete Altitude Advantage this year. Lots of good reviews from guys like us coming from 1k feet. I had altitude sickness two seasons ago. It was horrible and I...

    Hammock Sleeping

    That is great info. The hammock he sent me was the Hennessey. I couldn't quite figure out from the pictures how the sleeping on an angle thing worked after I read it. Maybe I would have to see it.

    Hammock Sleeping

    Do any of you use a hammock to sleep at night? I have a buddy that has completely abandoned tents and just carries a hammock, rainfly(for over top if weather gets bad), sleeping bag and pad to put in it. He swears by it as the most comfortable way to sleep in the backcountry. The fly and...

    space between camps

    Last year in Colorado I hadn't realized it, but our one-night drop camp was a stone throw over a little ridge from a outfitters camp. Like 300 yards max. I didn't really see it because we had stopped for the night and didn't venture any further. I saw the guides in the morning milling around and...

    Adjusting to the Elevation

    Definitely take it easy the first day. They say slow breathing makes your body adjust better.... so like sleeping or relaxing will adjust better. I have had altitude sickness, its horrible. This year I am going to try this Altitude Advantage from Wilderness Athlete. I have heard it has helped a...

    Best hunting boots????

    I am a big fan of the Crispi Summits that I got earlier this year. Have put some miles on them just hiking around the black hills, badlands, and devils tower this summer. I can honestly say they are the best boots I have ever bought. So little fatigue and they feel like they are bulletproof...

    1st TimeElk

    I see women with 50 pound draws and lighter arrows than that put down an elk. I have seen this question before also when I injured my shoulder I had to go down to a 60-pound draw. So many guys said they shoot 60 pounds and kill them every time. Don't overthink it. If you are accurate, no reason...

    Grand Mesa / White River Scouting Trip

    Cool pics. Nice job on the trout! PS... Slugz, I ended up getting those Crispi Summits. I can say hands-down the best boots I have ever owned. Thanks for the recommendation.

    First Elk Hunt - SW Montana Late Nov. - Need Gear Recs!

    I can agree with most of these guys both ways. I buy merino wool long underwear from a local military surplus place that has an off brand. They are great at wicking away sweat and smell when you are hiking a lot. On the flip side: I did get a Kuiu guide jacket and pants set when I first...

    The Tax Day Giveaway!

    The kentrek boots would have been sooo much better for hunting this guy than the boots I had. I basically tossed mine in the trash as soon as I got back to camp! Def need a new pair.

    KUIU Drive to 7500 Giveaway!

    I love my Kuiu gear! I do need the gloves, the guide hat, the attack pants and the gaitors. You can see in this comical photo that I have the Guide jacket and the Merino Wool Cap on. The merino wool hat is an awesome underlayer to a regular ball cap!
