    Elk Hunt Canceled Need Recommendation

    I had an opening week elk rifle hunt starting Sept 14 in Idaho. The hunt was just canceled yesterday due to the fires. Forest is shut down. At this point I am looking for another option for a October or November rifle hunt. I could do over the counter in Colorado, or maybe landowner tags...

    Which Kifaru Pack??

    Which Kifaru Pack??

    Man you have been through some packs. I like the Nomad, just thought it might be a little overkill for my needs. The Idaho hunt will have packers I am told. The AZ hunt will probably involve packing out meat. This is a self hunt with a couple of friends from the area. I just found out I drew...
