    Need some Eastmans Forum positive vibes tonight!

    Kid stuck a very respectable muley at dusk. Gonna be a long night! Good shot, solid impact. Went running into the bedding area/heavy timber with a Rage Hyperdermic and half a 5mm carbon arrow in him. For all those that have had to let one set overnight, please say an extra prayer. Really want...

    NW Colorado Report From Camp

    Animals are screaming from 0400 to 1000 daily. We got it done day one and put a nice little 4x5 down. Saw one bear so far. Switching gears to muleys in the am. Temps today in the shade at 10,000 were 46 degrees so I'm guessing 65 in the sun. Will post pics and a story when we get to town...

    Last Full Moon Before the Elk Rut..........

    For many of us the entire year is spent thinking about September. The Harvest Moon will be here soon. Time to be in the woods with family and arguably some of the best friends you will have in your life. Books could be written (books have been written) on the virtues that hunting can help...

    NW Colorado Scouting

    Lots of green and good forage. Animals are fat. High elk calf survival rate this year. We watched 2 herds of 40-50 elk and each had between 28-36 calves in each herd. Mule deer look very healthy also. Some pics below.

    Best phone to spotting scope device

    Team, I'd like to contribute with pics from our scouting trips and I see the posted ones of "phones being connected to spotting scopes". I did the initial research and it looks like there is a small number of options. I have a Samsung note 3 (personal phone) and a Iphone 6 ( work phone) that...

    Ideal arrow weight calculation?

    So I was taught by an old timer a while ago that 6.6 grains per pound of draw is the optimum weight. That being said pulling 70# that would come out to a 462 grain set up. For reference/comparison I'm shooting a FMJ 322 grn, broadhead 100 grn, nock 12 grn, fletching 18 grn and insert 16 grn...

    Fixed vs Mechanical

    Soooooo,,,,,,,I've been debating this the past few years and collecting data. I've poured over all the posts on here to include the Eastman's article a few issues ago on the subject. We have been shooting the G5 Montec 125g/100g forever. My reasonings for considering changing is. 1) I feel...

    Four Dog Wall Tent Stove Review

    Got the new stove and gave it the run through. Did a lot of research on type/models and went with the Four Dog. Easy to order online, reasonable/great price IMO due to the high quality of manufacturing and heavier gauge metal used. Feet go in via a slot vice a screw in leg so no more dirt in...

    Best packin tree stand

    Team, Starting my research on a pack in type tree stand that I cant put over a water hole for elk season. Priority is size/durability as I need to get it in a little over 3 miles. In a perfect world it would work for archery and muzzleloader season. What say ye EF!

    OnX Maps

    Used this for the first time, although maybe not to its max effectiveness while turkey hunting the past few weeks. Really worked well navigating a checkerboard of private and National Forest Land. Only issue I had was having to reload layers. I was in an area that had cell coverage and it...

    National Forest Turkey Down

    I'd argue these are one of the hardest to find and kill. Lots of miles today starting before dark. Fan/ beard/ feet are in the borax. Gonna try the Meateater flattened, breaded in Panko then fried drizzle of lemon recipe tonight. Found him and two hens post water and morning feed heading up...
