    Suggestions for 2014 CO Antelope

    So I am sitting on 14 preference points for CO Antlelope. I blew all my Deer and Elk pionts this year so next year is all abou the speed goat. Any suggestions on a worthy way to spend those points? Best Regards, Steve

    2013 gear/tactics winners

    Yeah, I love those trekking poles because they provide extreme stability when footing, slope, etc. make walking unstable. Specifically, walking downhill over deadfall with a heavy pack on, they will provide 2 additional points of contact with the ground allowing you to stay upright if you slip...

    2013 gear/tactics winners

    So here is what I really feel worked well for me this year. Fell free to add to the list and let me know what you couldn't do without. #1 Orange surveyors tape: I never got off my own bushwacked trail. #2 Gaitors: Half my hiking was on cattle trail and it was muddy, but I never got my feet wet...

    Elk Quest 2013

    Well, gents, it was a hell of a trip this year and I thought I would share. I dropped 12 preference points on Colorado Unit 61 - Uncompahgre Plateau West of Montrose.

    Can we expect bugling this weekend?

    Colorado Unit 61 First Rifle Bear

    Did you get a bear tag as well? They were still under the CAP today. If not, give me your contact info and maybe I can sit on your gut-pile if you get one. Also, my trophies are meat and hides and if you don't plan on keeping the hide, I will make good use of it, maybe throw in some PBR or a...

    Colorado Unit 61 First Rifle Bear

    I have what is an apparently air-tight verbal pre-nup with my wife. I tagged a decent Muley 3 years ago at the Air Force Academy (You won't hear me bragging about having any deer hunting skills other than having the patience to wait 9 years to get an easy buck) and the head it is up at my...

    Colorado Unit 61 First Rifle Bear

    Bull tag. Since I can't put antlers up in my house. I will probably shoot he best Bull I see in the first two days and spend the rest of the time hunting for bears. I may shoot the bear first if I see it opening morning. Best of luck to you and let me know where you are seeing the Elk. Cheers...

    Colorado Unit 61 First Rifle Bear

    I just got my OTC bear tag to go with my Elk tag for first rifle in CO Unit 61. Any good tips on hunting a gut pile? Should I get a tree stand? Thanks in advance for the help. Regards, Steve

    Any pukers in the house?

    Happens to me when talking with pretty women... very awkward at a job interview if the gal behind the desk is attractive.
