    What do you expect next year in the CO archery OTC units?

    The area I hunt is in 2 units. Will they allow you to hunt 2 units if you get drawn or will the tag be unit specific?

    What do you expect next year in the CO archery OTC units?

    I have been bow hunting in a OTC unit in NW CO for the last ten years as a NR. Next year they are doing away with NR OTC tags and going to draw. I have no points as I always hunt at the same place and had no reason to build up points. What do ya'll expect next year when it goes to draw? Do you...

    How do you guys successfully hunt wallows

    I hunted wallows every afternoon last week on our hunt and had elk hitting the water each day. Sometimes the wind will be blowing one direction in the afternoon but will always switch to blow down canyon once the sun gets lower in the sky. I have to pay close attention to the wind and will move...

    Last minute Colorado vacation planning

    I would also recommend SW CO. I rented a VRBO north of Durango near Purgatory ski resort. I think it is the prettiest part of the state and there is so much to do in the area. I would ride the train from Durango to Silverton one day. Ride the train up and the bus back. This gives you time to eat...

    Sitting water

    A trail camera would be the best bet but if it is too late for that then just check for fresh sign. I think it really depends on the number of water sources available in the area. Where I hunt, there are very few water sources and sitting water is an excellent strategy. It seems that the...

    Guys I need your input on blood pressure. I don’t want to mess up

    I was recently in the same boat but mine was significantly higher, dangerously high. I started taking medication about 3 months ago and it dropped it right back to within the normal range (thankfully), I don't think your numbers seem very high to me. Do you get much exercise? That may lower your...

    Kawasaki is out - Looking at Yamaha Side by Side

    I had the Yamaha RMAX 1000 and it was a beast. Fun to ride for sure and a great suspension with plenty of power.

    Southwest Colorado things to do, places to eat?

    Ride the train from Durango to Silverton. I would recommend getting in the train car with the narrator as they can tell you all about history and different things along the way. I would ride the train to Silverton and take the bus back. They give you enough time to eat lunch and walk around the...

    CO Mosquitos

    I don't think I've seen a mosquito in the 10 years I've been going to CO. Too arid in the area we hunt.

    Where to stay- Wyoming, Montana, Idaho

    It would probably be tough to have a home base house to see both parks as it would require a good amount of driving. The West Yellowstone area would probably be the best choice if you are trying to stay in 1 house to see both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National parks. Fly into Bozeman. We...

    Possible Relocation to Tri-Cities, TN area

    SW Virginia is a hidden gem IMO. Abingdon would be my choice.

    Zero turns

    If you are cutting 2-4 acres regularly, I would think you should get a 60" machine. You may be able to get by with a Tractor Supply or Lowes zero turn but I would recommend something better like several that have been previously mentioned. I cut 2-4 acres at my house and have a commercial grade...

    Carrying Turkey decoy ideas

    If you buy an Avian decoy they come with a carrying bag that works pretty well. It has a strap that you can throw over your shoulder and they weigh next to nothing. I have my shotgun over one shoulder and the decoy bag over the other.

    What UTV for hunting/trails/moab

    If your use is more trails and just fun riding I would say the RMAX would be the best option. I had one and it was a very nice machine and would shine in Moab. If hunting/utility/farm work was more important then I would go with the Pioneer.

    Yamaha or Honda ATV Recommendations

    I believe the UVT's ride just as good as ATV's. If you get a 1000 it will go plenty fast and go wherever you would need to go. They are much more versatile than an ATV with the ability to comfortably take 2 or more people depending on the model. A roof and windshield makes for more comfort as...

    Yamaha or Honda ATV Recommendations

    I don't think you can beat the Honda for reliability. I know you didn't mention a SXS but I would encourage you to check out the Honda Pioneers. I have a Honda ATV but rarely use it since I bought the Pioneer. It is so much more comfortable and more of a workhorse than an ATV with the bed and...

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    I recently bought a 23 for my son and drive it quite a bit. I like it pretty well but hoped the 24 would have more room in the back. A small adult can barely fit in the back seat. I will stick with my F150.

    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    I have a new boat that should be ready in a few weeks. I spoke with builder and he recommended a single Ionic 36V battery to run my trolling motor. I went to see him and he had the new battery at his shop ready to be installed. This one battery is lighter than a regular deep cycle battery which...

    Aspens in SW CO Around October 1?

    I have always flown into Grand Junction for my hunting trips and planned on flying there for this trip as well. I checked air fares and it is actually a little cheaper to fly to Gunnison for us so that's where we are going. It will save a little driving too.

    Aspens in SW CO Around October 1?

    I am taking my wife this year as well. Plan to fly to Gunnison and go to Crested Butte and then Ouray/Telluride. Probably will arrive Sept 28. Should be just about right for timing based on what I've researched.
