Don't you love packing out an Elk?
As hard as it is on me physically, it is soothing salve for my soul! As physically painful as it is, time and distance dull the pain and my memories become so very sweet. I'd love to have pack animals, but can't justify owning them. As hard as it is packing on my back, I keep coming back for...- Smokepoler63

Don't you love packing out an Elk?
I love to hear stories like this. I've done the same, and received help the same way. Whether you believe in karma or not, I feel good receiving help, and great giving help.- Smokepoler63

Scent controll
I began tree stand hunting for archery elk, over wallows or seeps, 3 years ago. I do everything I can to control scent and odors. My stands are 1.5 to 1.7 miles in from the trail head, and I do get sweated up on the hike in. I have come up with a system that has worked pretty well for me. I...- Smokepoler63

TC Hawken
The T/C Hawken is a 1 in 48" twist. This is a compromise between a slower round ball twist (1 in 66" to 1 in 72") and a conical twist (1 in 24" to 1 in 32" twist). In reality, it's not great for either. Some T/C Hawkens shoot round balls well and some shoot conicals and sabots well, rarely do...- Smokepoler63

Antler growth?
I swapped out my memory cards on Friday, and I was happy to see this bull still in the area. He has added a little length in his fourths, fifths, and most noticeably in his main beams. I hope to see him from my tree stand come archery season!- Smokepoler63

SD Card reader for iPhone 5S
I was swapping out the memory cards on my trail cameras this past weekend and had a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an SD card reader that plugged into my iPhone or connected with it via WiFi or blue tooth? Just wondering if anyone is aware of any such device/adapter that would allow...- Smokepoler63

Antler growth?
I got some photos of a bull on my trail camera on July 3rd. The bull's antlers seem to be fully developed and I was wondering if he will gain much more tine length in the next month and a half. I was surprised to see a bull with antlers this large this early in the summer. So, what are your...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
Follow up from this past weekend Well, I finally got it done Thursday evening. This is definitely not the biggest bull in the woods, but he's my first archery elk and I'm thrilled with him! My nephew had to go to Montana this weekend and my hunting buddy couldn't get out of work. I decided to...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
Kenton and LCH, no we didn't have any trail cam pics of this bull. We got a few as he wallowed just before the shot though. We have new bulls on the cameras every time we swap memory cards. The bulls move around a lot a d can't be patterned like whitetail. It's always a surprise to see what's on...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
MT_elk, I love the tent. It is the 10' X 14' model and it makes for a great hunting camp. I love the marine grade silicone treated canvas that breaths rather than building up condensate. They're fairly cool in the summer and warm in the colder weather with a propane Mr. Heater. Word of advice...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
Opening weekend success Opening weekend success! My nephew arrowed this bull at 9 yards from one of my wallow tree stands. This bull came in to wallow at 11:30 opening morning. After sitting all morning, he got out of the stand around 10:30 to swap out the trail camera memory card. About a hour...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
The spike in the eighth photo is the only spike I have photos of. Four weeks ago he looked like a regular spike, although his tops were a little bulbous. The next two weeks showed him changing into a 2 X 3 with something funny growth down in the brow tine area. It seems strange to me that I'm...- Smokepoler63

Trying something new
I'm trying something new this year. Actually I'm trying two new things this year. I have never used trail cameras or used tree stands for any kind of hunting, let alone archery elk hunting. I put my first cameras out in mid June. I had mixed results the first two weeks, getting mostly deer and...- Smokepoler63
