    Quigley Ford Scopes

    They're not bad scopes, but I can't imagine wanting such a specific reticle. Apart from their load specific reticles, a big part of their problem is that they come across as gimmicky the way they seemingly rely on non-profits as their main sales channel.

    AZ Draw

    Emails haven't come out and profiles haven't been updated. If you didn't get a charge you didn't draw though. Everyone, whether they had a charge or not, is still showing pending for their applications.

    AZ Draw

    No luck here unless they're taking their time running all the cards.

    Which headlamp?

    I honestly don't know how you could improve upon the Fenix HM61R. IMO it's pretty much the perfect headlamp.

    Packs outside of the normal recommendations.

    $200 probably won't get you anything new that you are actually going to want. I'd either look used, or up my budget a little bit and wait for the Mystery Ranch of your choosing to show up on Camofire. You'll probably end up saving yourself money by doing so.

    Which headlamp?

    I've got a few of these and honestly I'd never buy them again. Battery life is not very good even on lower settings, and the feature where you're supposed to tap the light to go to max brightness is always malfunctioning and causing your light to going max power when you don't want it to.

    M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

    I have no emotion in this at all. I listed 10 brands that make a better pack and didn't push one in particular. The M5 will get the job done, but there are far better options that will be lighter and/or more comfortable.

    M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

    You can't lengthen the frame. You can adjust the suspension all you want it still won't carry weight as well as packs from the above mentioned companies. I'm not trying to be difficult here but that pack isn't in the same league as many of the others on the market, even some at the same price...

    M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

    The frame is way too short for the load lifters to be functional. Ideally they should come off your shoulder at about a 45°+ angle up to the frame. You would have to literally be around 5' tall for that to happen with this pack. It's just not designed well to carry a heavy load. If day hunting...

    M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

    It is not a very good pack at all. The suspension on those is so far behind the top companies it's not funny. If you plan on hauling meat at all get something else. Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Mystery Ranch, Seek Outside, Kuiu, Initial Ascent, Barney's and Hil People Gear would all be worth a...

    Are you talking about the plate that fits your tripod head?

    Good tent for 3rd season elk CO

    It's really hard to beat a wall tent if setting up at the truck. You'll have more standing room and hold heat better than any other options.

    Whatever happened to American BUFFALO hunts?

    He definitely seemed to be baiting the hook. Just figured I'd bite.

    Whatever happened to American BUFFALO hunts?

    Except a bison isn't a buffalo and all those others you listed are. Not saying there's anything wrong with calling it a buffalo though.

    NOSLER wants to see your success

    Here's my once in a lifetime WY bull bison taken with a .338 Win Mag firing Nosler Trophy Grade ammunition loaded with a 250 grain Partition.

    Go hunt draw odds?

    GoHunt gives draw odds for prior years only. It's up to each individual to extrapolate how they think any changes will impact their odds. IMO that's the only data they should provide. Anything else would be a complete guess.

    Hunting gear that punches BELOW its price point

    I couldn't disagree more on this one. I use one to top off my batteries every day in the back country and never have to worry about running out. Admittedly they work a lot better earlier in the season when there's more daylight.

    WY Bison

    Between the bison, a bull elk, a mule deer buck, an antelope buck and an antelope doe there is plenty of meat in the freezer this year.

    WY Bison

    The first sled didn't work out too well and broke within a few hundred yards. In fairness though, that sled had been used to pack out close to 25 bison and was in pretty rough shape. The second sled handled it like a breeze for the roughly 3 miles to the truck.

    WY Bison

    Here's a pic if the packout. There was around 900 lb in that sled.
