I like wool also . Silk liner – dress in layers I don’t think what you buy for elk hunting is going to be the same for ice fishing . ck Asbells web site for elk hunting.

in reply to: Ethical Shots #50542some sights promote those kind of shots. I am talking with the kid at work that claims the best shot on an elk is the face forward frontal chest shot – he gets that crap off some site on the web
in reply to: Zwickey Delta Giveaway #49651I’ll play . Thanks Smitty . Me and a couple buds took off to Arizona for a Javie hunt which from Idaho takes a long time but also very nice in January. I almost forgot about this part . On our way thru Utah we picked up another friend who had a Sazuki sidekick that he had just buffed out real nice for driving in the desert without giving your truck a pin stripe job. Picture this 3 guys a dodge pickup and a huge trailer with the little jeep and all our gear piled up all around on this trailer and we are just having a grand time and we start getting closer to the dam in Arizonia and it clicks we can’t cross the dam with a trailer ( because of the year security was tight terrorist you know). Any way we decide to go for it and of course they stop us and ask the standard questions guns tobacco booze and we all chime in well yah this is a hunting trip. They let us thru and we get where we are going, set up a nice camp wall tent and I set my own small tent up ( I like being on the ground instead of cots). We decide that evening we are going hunting my buds drive and I’m a walker so we all take off and I get into some pigs right off and put a nice stalk on with no joy. By the time it was over I decide I better head back because it gets dark dark in the desert. So I am walking along and come up on a cliff a nice vantage point so I can see where I am. I look down and I’ll be go to hell theres another camp ?? I dare those folks to put a camp on our mountain so I turn around and start beating feet because it’s getting dark and I get lost in my own backyard. Long story short it’s black and I’m lost. I finally after a time stumble onto a road and decide left or right and by God I make the right decision. I get back to camp and everyone ask where you been ? I start telling them about the camp somewhere right next to us and all the same time we look at each other and figure that was our camp you jackass . We started laughing so hard I thought I was going to cry. Any way we still laugh about that trip today, there all good.
in reply to: Early Elk Seasons #31603we were talking how hot it is and last night it went down to 45 degrees (feels good ) up to 85 today
in reply to: Crossfit and hunting? #31598my wife does it and it kicks her butt. I question how certified the instructors are because there seems to be a lot of injuries ???? Several of her friends are hurt right now so is that their fault or the gyms ? Don’t know
in reply to: Early Elk Seasons #29411as said above here in Idaho it can be hot, hot, hot and it can come with a fire season which means zone can be closed. It also comes with some early snows – the last week of Sept I was hunting in 5 to 8″ of the white stuff. I like hunting elk early before they are herded up. There can be lots of atvs and the combo deer and elk suck because I too focus on elk in Sept. One cool thing about archery which I don’t believe was mentioned is grouse season and I love hunting chickens with my bow
in reply to: Gotta remember to watch my back #21689as Smith said we have a lot of cats here also . We have at least 1 ever year that seems to hang around town and gets folks worked up. Lots of hunting stories with cat tracks in my tracks. Hopefully your cat hangs out a couple days and moves on

in reply to: Robertson 'Primal Styk' #9409real nice bow. congrats
