    Wolf trapped in CO East of I-25

    A kid I hunted with shot a yote up north and brought it home and ditched it along the road after concluding its hide wasn't worth tanning. The local news heard about it and ran a story about coyotes being hit by a car in the area. N We all had a good laugh that nobody noticed the .270 hole that...

    Morning sickness while hunting

    I always chalk it up to excitement but I have noticed changing up my routine to wake up very early, like on a hunt, makes me nauseas. Also, altitude gets me.

    10 year anniversary trip-RMNP

    My 10 year wedding anniversary is this fall. 8 or 9 years ago we took a trip to RMNP and the surrounding area. We were mostly on the Grand lake side and we had an absolute blast. I drove up to Grand lake while coming home from a hunt last fall and to my surprise, the whole area was hit by a...

    Ammo price increase?

    I finally found Federal premium Nosler partitions in .270 win for the first time in 3-4 years so I bought 7 boxes. They were about $10 more than what I remember paying last time.

    Interesting gun-ban bill - GOSAFE

    I'd like to introduce the DEZNUTS bill. This isn't going anywhere. They would have better luck trying to Prohibit alcohol again.

    What do you do to save on spending $$

    I'm good at what I do and own my business. If something needs fixed I pay the professionals and work a few extra hours. Time is money and every home project I have ever done takes way longer and is not as good as if a professional did it. I dug out and laid my own patio a few years back and...

    Elk hunt debrief

    Low winds and in the right direction for the areas we were hunting. I don't think wind was a factor. This is the first time we came home empty handed but we saw the most sign by a wide margin. I am assuming it could have gone either way without really changing anything else. It was a...

    Elk hunt debrief

    Got back a few day ago from an unsuccessful first elk trip in CO and wanted to get some insight on what we should have done differently. It was been 3 years since we made the trip west, and we camped and hunted in the same exact spot as last time. We arrived 2 days before the opener and drove...

    Experience with Crispi

    I just got back from a first rifle hunt in snow for 2 days of scouting and 5 days of hunting. I had wet boots every day. This was my second pair of Wyoming GTX and it only had about 100 miles of break in hikes on them, never wet. I'm disappointed to say the least. My first pair lasted me about...

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    Winchester model 70 in .270. It's the only hunting rifle I own and won't be the reason if I don't fill a tag.

    PA Elk License

    I've been applying for the past 8 or so years. I have been applying for the archery and late season since they introduced it. A relative and his son both drew over the past 7 or 8 years. I'll be lucky if it ever happens.
