    I'm going on a last minute turkey hunt in CO, and I have some questions...

    Sorry I offended you, old man. Literally nothing about my post could have been taken as inflammatory. I was just seeing if anyone had any words of advice before I left. I did go out and put boots on the ground and learned what I could in the short period of time that I had. Hope your day gets...

    I'm going on a last minute turkey hunt in CO, and I have some questions...

    Tomorrow is our last day. Have seen tons of hens but no Toms. Had a guy tell me he saw a Tom crossing a road, but other than that, no luck, no gobbles or anything. Tempted to try a new area in the am, but hard to leave an area with so many turkeys. Feel like there has to be Toms here, just don’t...

    What's Your Non-Truck Hunting Rig?

    Before my Tacoma, I had a 2007 Maxima. Used to carry a tarp with me in case I had to load up a whitetail. Loaded too many deer to count in that car.

    How long have you been at your current job?

    Pharmacist here. Wish I had more travel options, but it's just not a thing for pharmacy due to saturation of the job market. Wife is a nurse, so it would be awesome to be able to travel together.

    Elk 101 or Elk collective?

    I killed my first elk last year and attribute a lot of my success to elk 101. Could’ve found the info elsewhere, but it is consolidated into an easy to digest and well organized form that I could listen to while driving.

    Best Ride on Lawn Mower

    Whatever you do, I would definitely go with zero turn. I'm on about 2 acres, and I have a John Deere x350 lawn tractor. I definitely wish I would've gone with the zero turn now just to save time and to get into tight spots.

    I'm going on a last minute turkey hunt in CO, and I have some questions...

    Like the title says, I will be in Colorado next week to visit family and I will have the opportunity to hunt turkey for 3-4 days. I have experience hunting easterns on private land in TN, but no experience at all hunting turkey in the west, so this will be a new experience for me, and I have...

    2021 Colorado 2nd Rifle DIY Review: Success and Lessons Learned by a New Elk Hunter

    Thanks for the response. Would you think scouting the saddle first in order to not waste time hunting it with no fresh sign or not risk entering the area beforehand and disturbing elk and setting up over the saddle in the morning, then if no activity, scout it mid day and move on if needed?

    2021 Colorado 2nd Rifle DIY Review: Success and Lessons Learned by a New Elk Hunter

This year, I hunted CO OTC for the second year and as my second ever elk hunt, and was successful! I credit ya'll here at Rokslide for a lot of the learning that I've...
