    Crossbow sight recommendation Colorado

    Hey guys, I'll be hunting elk in Colorado with a crossbow in September. I've never hunted in Colorado but I don't think I'll be able to use my current x2 magnification scope. Since I'll be switching, does anyone have any recommendations for a crossbow scope that would be legal in CO? Thanks!

    Nikon Z6 Lens Recommendations

    I purchased a Nikon Z6 to film my hunts this fall, will be Colorado elk hunting in the mountains as well as tree stand hunting in Iowa. I purchased a 70-300mm lens online so I was not able to test. Will that be enough zoom for the mountains?

    OnX vs GoHunt?

    Currently use OnX, however GoHunt's terrain features look appealing. Looking for some insight for people with experience using both.

    Best online course to learn Elk hunting?

    Looking at online elk courses, I see Colorado Parks and Wildlife offers one, Elk101 also offers something similar. Does anyone have experience or recommendations for online resources for improving elk and elk hunting knowledge?

    Sight tape issues

    My sight wheel is usually pretty solid in place when I try to move it by hand so I don't think it moved on it's own. Shooting form, peep, arrows, etc have all remained constant. I've shot at 60 a few days a week for the past few months so it's a distance I'm familiar with. Since I'm just as far...

    Sight tape issues

    I shoot a Matthews V3X 33 that is sighted in, over the weekend I was shooting at 60 yards and I noticed I was shooting low, I adjusted yardage until I was hitting bullseye again, my sight tape then read 64 yards. I moved farther to shoot at 80 yards, again I was only shooting accurate with my...

    No longer seeing mature whitetail deer on farm

    Not a ton, my brother and I are really the only two people that hunt it and we're pretty strict about entering and leaving the tree only when it's dark and do all day sits. We make sure trucks are not visible when we park to hunt. Trail cams are the email ones so we don't need to be there...

    No longer seeing mature whitetail deer on farm

    Not really, a lot of it has been the same for many years. 85% of the land surrounding it are like minded trophy bow hunters who have minimum pressure and only take mature bucks. One neighbors owns a corn field and he just wants all deer gone and will let just about anyone hunt. However, that's...

    No longer seeing mature whitetail deer on farm

    It's mostly CRP, couple cricks running through it, some areas of thick cover and timber, ground is pretty hilly in some spots providing cover from the roads. Most of it though is CRP grass though.

    No longer seeing mature whitetail deer on farm

    Thanks for the reply, how many does did you end up taking and how long did it take for them to come back? I've done 3 all day sits since Saturday and I'm starting to get tired of these small two year olds run territory that historically has been ran by the monsters.

    No longer seeing mature whitetail deer on farm

    We have 180 acres located in Iowa, historically this has been great hunting land. We purchased about 5 years ago, when we first purchased the property we had many mature deer as well as many shooter bucks. Over the last 5 years that has been changing, we're seeing slightly more deer as but...
