    National Forest Honey Hole All Messed Up

    Well I knew it would happen eventually. April 8th is our opener here so I hiked in to set a couple trail cams for turkey movement. I got 3/4 way up the ridge and started seeing surveying tape and trees spray painted. As I crested it all made sense. Fire mitigation. Oh well. All the roost...

    K.i.s.s.

    In this day and age of the interweb and tons of info out there to pour through....."executing the basics to perfection" is a phrase I use at work with the men......and how I have taught my son and other newbies who go into the woods with me. Keep It Simple Stupid holds true even more so today I...

    2016 Elk Leftover Analysis

    Team EF, In prep for the draw and app period I thought I'd share a drill I go through each spring while waiting for turkey to open up. This may help guys who dont draw their primary tag and are looking for a solid secondary plan. Scene Setter / Mentality 1) Yes I'm a resident. I moved here...

    California water levels this year?

    Saw this today in the International New York Times. Is this year one of the greenest ever or is it spotty? I lived in Lemoore a few years and was just wondering.

    First Lite Kanab 2.0

    Im looking to purchase a pair of these to wear for work. I'm a Kuiu guy and have hunted exclusively, all seasons here in Colorado in Attack pants. It would appear from reading the Kanab's have less of a athletic cut than the Attack pants. Do they have the same stretch as the Attacks? Would...

    4th Season Elk x 2

    Day 2 of the 4th season saw a storm blowing through that dumped a solid 6-9" and blew like a Nor Easter. We hunted in it until crying uncle and headed back to camp only to find out my son dropped a cow early am. After some coffee and game planning we went back in to retrieve the second load of...

    Western Colorado 4th Season Report

    Just got back in CONUS tonight 15th. My son has been glassing and he said the heat has them spread out. The small resident herds are even scattered. I drive out to meet him in the am so hopefully he can wait to shoot one with me!

    Whitetail Genetics in/near Vinton Ohio ?

    EF, Anyone have any idea what the deer health / genetic makeup of the area holds? Of course there is always some sleepers everywhere. Just trying to get an overall feel if this is just an average county in Ohio. Thanks

    Multiple Tag Colorado Hunts

    This topic comes up a lot so I thought I'd offer my perspective after just trying to complete the "family's" self generated archery Slam competition. In the end it didn't work and I wouldn't use my deer points again like this. Stage setter: 12 Days to tag an elk, muley, bear / Sept 13 to 25th...

    DIY Skull cleaning

    We have had our best luck with a Dawn/ 12 Mule Borax Combo. Looks great for all the problems you describe. I use Elmers wood glue when patching skull pieces together. Heres some pics for ideas for the next one.
