The Elk Thread

[7sdad]

Hey guys, need some advice. 10 days hunting, boiling water twice a day for coffee and supper, how much fuel would I need? Tried to watch some videos but once they started getting into the trigonometry I was out lol.

Two of the tiny bottles or one of the medium size bottles.

For those looking to spend some $$ on some top-end hunting gear, I received an email that Kuiu is opening a retail store in Dallas in October. Address is 13846 Dallas Parkway, Suite 100.

Buy once, cry once.I see lots of hunters both in-state and out of state with Kuiu clothing and packs here.

The problem with kuiu, If you wear it from head to toe, You look like you're wearing Granimal pajamas.

Put some solids in your outfits

Well if they would've bought all Sitka camo you wouldn't be able to see them!

I find the solids fad to be funny, guys all worried about looking good in the woods to be in style. 15 years ago it was the camo fad, had to all match. Soon we'll be in bell bottom camo pants with solid tops lolol..

I like Sitka, just can't make myself pay that much for it. FL is OK, but their sizing inconsistencies are horrible. I replaced my FL stuff with Kings XKG... no complaints as of yet.

My compliant is durability on Firstlight. Kings has really stepped up for their price point. I bought a fleece lined Wind defender Anorak and Bibs from them last year for tree stand hunting. really like it.

I just got back from high country 13k ft plus sheep hunt. I bought the stika ambient hoody last year, this year had a few scheels points and added the Evo. With wind chill I saw 18-80F. I cut alot of weight out of my system with those two pieces, and greatly improved moisture management. I doubt I even take my rain jacket in a couple week, when I head back up for elk. With that said not sure I would pay full price retail for the evo, but would the ambient

I must have missed your write-up on the sheep hunt. How did you do?

Kuiu says they’re opening there in October. I don’t know.

no write-up. Very unique and humbling experience. We tag out with a great 10 year old ram on day 6. 2-3.8k ft of elevation gain a day.

7 more sleeps and then I’m headed to New Mexico. Changed my arrow setup for this year. It’s 440gr up from 400. everything is dialed in and on the money.
