    so what do you use for lunches on your backpack hunts?

    Last week we ate Starkist Tuna packs and a pack of Ramen Noodles. Finished with a couple paydays, granola bars, or some crackers. I was pleased with the Tuna packs...19g Protein, 110 Calories, and 2.6 oz. Hickory Smoked was my favorite, and they are very compact for packing.

    KUIU Drive to 7500 Giveaway!

    Thanks Kuiu for hauling my gear. The Ultra 6000 is a great pack so far and I can't wait to load it down with meat. Not sure what the crazy grass hopper is but he unknowingly hitched a ride to 12K with me this week, what a waste of weight. [ATTACH=CONFIG]10551[/ATTACH

    270 or 243

    I shoot a DPMS in .260 Rem (6.5) and love it, so I purchased one for my wife, a Remington Model 7 (youth/womens model 700 basically) and I really like that gun too. Both are very accurate and have good long range capabilities. Low recoil, and plenty of knockdown for a deer or antelope. She...

    I drew an archery elk tag for colorado unit 56. Anybody hunted this unit before? Was it hard to get away from people? My internet scouting is showing some potential, but that can always change in "real life." Any info is much appreciated.

    I was archery hunting last year with an OTC Co tag and came upon some bedded elk. We spotted them as they heard us and the staredown lasted around 4 minutes...then the herd quietly left. We sat down and cow called for about 5 minutes when the bull showed back up to pick up his lost lady. I...
