    Wall tenrs

    I picked up a Davis 14x17 with large stove 4 years ago and love it as a base camp. Sleeps 4 with plenty of room to move around and cook small meals. get a cook tent also, makes things easer at meal time.

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    Okay, now for the ethical question. You found your game after letting it sit and you start taking care of business and believe that the meat has spoiled. Do you finish the job and pack it out or leave it and move on.

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    Great job! my bull hunt this year was a bust. saw some nice ones but they were on public. Jumped a little spike in the junipers which scarred the hell out of me. I got to about 20 yards then he busted out of there. Never saw him till he took off.

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    Interesting comments. my take away is not to let something sit overnight. Given the people that were having the discussion; I think they were just trying to justify not dropping over the ridge and crawling around in the Junipers. Some food for thought with the gasses tainting the meat. I know...

    So I guess there is no "magic" number and go with the rule if it smells bad then it is bad.

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    I didn't have the expectation that anyone would be obligated to help out.... It was just the response I got when I asked if anyone could spare a few hours to help bring it down even half way. the other part of the story that I left out was this was the first time these guys were hunting the area...

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    I know there is a lot of wiggle room with determining if when the meat will turn. With questionable shots on TV you see them leave elk overnight and never really talk about if/how much meat is lost. I always hurry to get things taken care of ASAP. I even got a little worried about leaving half...

    How long is too long before it goes bad.

    Okay, So I ran into some elk hunters over the weekend discussing how long an elk will last not being dressed out. It appears one in their party had shot a “good sized” cow and followed the blood trail for about ¼ mile. Due night falling in and not wanting to bump the elk they decided to pick up...

    Colorado/Rokslide camping trip

    that is off 285 in bailey someplace right. do you have an exit or name of the gas station? or is it the only gas station in Bailey. I usually blow right through there.

    Whys it so dang hard to find a reliable hunting partner?

    After three years of friends bailing at the last minute and a substantial investment in gear for the base camp I have decided that I will go it alone. Funny thing is they always find the time to come up to the private property but have difficulty heading in deeper where you have to “hunt” for...

    Jeep owners...

    I have been researching this for the last 4 month. I started building out an 85 F250 for my backcountry/hunting rig. As it was not going to be ready for my 3rd season hunt I picked up a 48 Willy’s jeep. Now that the season is over I started back on the truck when the wife asked how the 4 of us...
