Thanks Don, I appreciate the info. – Yes I ment the unlimited areas. With a quota of 2-3 Rams I assumed that it would be a tough hunt. Sometimes a wilderness hike with a bow is just what the doctor ordered:lol: Anyone up for the challenge?

I understand the concerns of a growing canine predator population however it always seems like we never get it right when we try to becme nature’s Warden.

One of my favorite ways to hunt. You will probably start out taking way to much “junk” with you on your first couple of hunts. As you gain more experience you will narrow your needs done and your pack will become lighter and easier to work with. I have found that I don’t really need my cooking stuff – stove, fuel or mess kit anymore. I save alot of weight there and don’t think that I don’t eat good. I have learned to make alot of good meals without cooking or by cooking primitive.

in reply to: Ground Hunting #23442

I never liked hunting from a tree stand.I Tried it a couple of times when I first started to bow hunt. I didn’t enjoy being stuck in a couple of square foot area for hours on end. I just never felt like I was really hunting. I prefer to hunt with the least amount of “things” possible now. My hunts have been much more enjoyable that way. I also want the animal that I hunt to be able to use all of thier defense mechanisms against me, that way I have to really “hunt” them to be successful.

Thank you for posting the pictures. Really enjoyed them and now I’m counting the days to be back in Colorado this fall. You have been blessed with a great family.

Let me know if you need some help dragging him out of the woods. Looks like your only a couple hour drive south of me.

in reply to: Opinions – What would you guys do? #62856

Thanks for the replys. I agree with most of the opinions expressed here. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t being unreasonable if I did decide to go alone. I have been out to Colorado 4 times to hunt Elk with out of shape hunters and didn’t want to go down that road again.

I have always hunted Wilderness areas to stay away from the mechanized crowd. I wanted to do the same thing this year but he preferred to hunt this area. My first compromise. I agreed to his area as long as we packed in and got away from the roads and the crowds. Now that he seems to be talking about camping and hunting from the roads (Not my cup of tea!} I’m really finding it hard to stay committed to this trip.

Finding a dedicated Trad hunting patner has always been a challenge for me.

I enjoyed it so much that I had to read it 2 times. I would like to see Doug write a book about his hunts with Jay. I wish that there were more guys around like him.

in reply to: The ugliest moccasins ever! #60572

Nice mocs. I’m working on a pair myself and hoping that they finish up as ugly as yours. Sometimes I like to hunt with very simple primitive items. The uglier the better.

Walking in mocs. is actually better for your whole body (foot,knees,hips and back) then walking with a stiff high soled boot. The body is a very well designed machine and if there was any advantage in having an elevated heel you would have been born with one. They do take sometime to get used to in very wet and rocky areas. My backside is well aware of that.

in reply to: Ever find yourself not watching the bowhunting shows? #48421

There are no Bowhunting shows only Bowhunting COMMERCIALS.

Typical show goes like this.First they have to lather up in scent/no scent “Spray”. Then they head out to the “Bait Field” on thier “ATV”. Plop thier as$ down in a “Tree Lounge” and ready thier “Wheel Contraption” for the perfect shot that always comes. They have been “Scouting” the “Game” all year long with a baited “Trail Camera” and he is a “Brusier”. Before they can shoot they have to use thier “Electronic how far away is the game TOY”. Then they slap each other on the back and say what “Great Hunters” they are. They save the best part for last as they try to sell you all this junk! – scent,bait,ATV,stand,camera,range finder,wheel cotraption and tell how they never would have been succesfull without them. I’m getting sick just talking about it.

in reply to: Most Admired Predators #48387

Great thread. I’m also a huge admirer of the Predator kingdom. I enjoy observing them in the wild every chance that I can. I would have to throw in a second vote for the Polar Bear. Here is an animal that makes a living on nothing more then an ice skating rink.

in reply to: elk #42876

“I could use the same logic and shoot wheels! shot placement is everything!”

You are correct about shot placement. However no one can make the perfect shot everytime, especially under hunting conditions. In that case I would make sure that my arrow was set up for optimum penetration.
