Yep, good stuff.;)

buster, you ever hunted the mountains from a fixed position?

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

shed3 - I've got 10-12 years of Colorado and Idaho elk hunting under my belt - so I'd say yes, I've hunted the mtns, the mystical thermals etc. You do the best you can. You CANNOT escape the nose of a deer or elk. never. all the expensive clothes, socks, underwear, chewing gum, pills etc ....... forget it. One whiff and you're busted.

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

- How many elk you killed?

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

the only charm the works is a cardeer necklace.

some of ya'll understand. and know.

but arm and hammer has helped me get closer to deer.

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

killed a spike, a 4x5, a 6x5, a 5X5, another 6x5 ..... I remember killing one and not finding him one year, and 2-3 years I didn't get opportunity, I missed on shots 1-2 years, chose not to shoot (muzz tags) a couple of years ......... I've had really good success elk hunting. Not so much the last 3-4 times I've went, partially due to a new outfitter liking the same place I do, partially because I have hunted with a longbow. One year wasa disaster from the git go !

Thermals are true - sometimes. Prevalent winds are prevalent ....... sometimes. I swear stinking like campfire is THE best cover scent, bar none.

Whitetail hunting, diesel and cattle poop is the best coverscent I think.

So is only 2 ball bearings in my baitcast reel, but the 6 bearing reels sure run alot smoother!:D

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

yes, but when I shoot a big deer can I put my pictureon their website?

Thx P for helping us out!!

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

Buster T,never knew you has been that succesful.

Germ, you can put it on my charm site when I get it running.

RE: It's all you'll ever need
 

For such a dorky guy thats such a pain in the ass, its surprising isn't it ? I'm actually a pretty decent hunter ......... traditional archery flat out humbled me to be honest with you. Its a totally different ballgame.

All my elk hunts were on public, OTC tag lands, mostly backpack and llamas. My secret is no secret at all - walk until you find elk. Hunt long, hunt hard, find the elk, get in and around them, and eventually you'll find a shot. Sounds too simple, always worked for me. I've got elk hunting stories galore ........ mostly the big ones that got away !@
