The Elk Thread

I keep mine on a paracord lanyard around my neck, with a small container of wind direction threads.

If I need to take-off up a hill after a bull, or I’m hunkered in a ground blind, I can drop my pack with binoculars and be ready to hunt.

It has 10x magification.

Similar to Shane, I use a bino harness with a rangefinder holder. AKG Cub bino harness and FHF rangefinder holder.

Very interested to see your set up JT!

Fixing to head up the mountain for my first scouting trip of the season. A cool 70 degrees right now. Will try and update with pictures as service allows for everyone sweating it out at home right now

Anyone have luck with the colorado left-over's? I struck out, just too many people trying at one time. I was even logged in early and still got put in line.

I was able to get a leftover Archery Bear with CAPS. Hopefully, I see them like we did last year.

Just bought my archery OTC elk and bear rifle (private land) tags for September. It'll be here before we know it.

Headed to Idaho next Thursday for a bucket list bow elk hunt with brunner. It’s been tough to stay focused these last few weeks at work for sure. Pretty pumped.

Put 20miles on the boots since yesterday. Only seen 1 giant Muley buck yesterday and about 12 cows. Finally got on 2 decent 6 points today. Both were still in velvet around 10.2k ft. Did see a few rubs so some bulls are rubbing out already. Talked with some trail cleaners and they said they have heard bugles the last 2 morning

As a first timer, I’m just curious of what kind of pace you normally have when hunting for Elk? Slow and steady. Then stop, call and glass ?

Packed a lock-on 6 miles in to a beaver pond we found in the middle of no where. I've never hunted elk from a stand before but, definitely a sweet set up to try
