    Journalist Fired for fighting for public access

    I'm positive that this is not accurate. There are thousands of land-locked acres on NF and BLM in CO with zero legal access other than aircraft. 5MB - do you have any source or reference to prove your claim?

    CO legality question

    I don't think there would be a problem. In a lot of areas near unit boundaries the TH or parking areas may be in the adjoining unit. If it made the pack out easier I wouldn't hesitate to cross into another unit. Obviously a game warden knows the proximity of unit boundaries and it is not...

    Core 4 Element??? Good or bad??

    Same here, I have two pairs of the switchback pants for three years and they are low quality in my opinion. They were pretty good the first couple of trips for the first season but then the pockets came unstitched, the material worn holes in the knees and on the back and the water restraint...

    Bosque Del Oso Archery

    I haven't hunted it but I have spoken to friends that have hunted bear and elk there. My buddy killed a bear the first day with a rifle. The only problem that I see with your plan is that I would bet that that OTC with caps tags for Bosque Del Oso sells out within the first 2 minutes or less...

    Colorado Beetle Kill

    You are correct there is alot more feed on the ground in the beetle killed stands of timber. In the areas that I hunt this makes the hunting way harder because the deer and elk aren't coming out into the open parks and meadows to feed anymore and you can't effectively glass into the beetle...

    Flattops Colorado First Rifle

    We hunted the northern flattops around 9000 ft. Only my second year up there but weather wise it seems like a normal year for that area and Colorado in general. Last year it dumped snow even more than this year during first season. We filled 4 out of 7 tags on opening morning. We should have...

    Using a riflescope as binos?

    I don't see how anyone could justify intentionally pointing a deadly weapon at another person for trespassing. Sounds like a great way to get thrown in jail. I mean they are in the wrong for trespassing but unless they pose some sort of threat you can't just go around pointing guns at people...

    Paypal policy question

    Hmmm I don't understand why the buyer would start a thread looking for justification to not pay the $15. It seems cut and dry to me, seller clearly asked for pp gift and the buyer didn't follow through with it. Seems incredibility petty to not just work this out between the two of you over $15...

    Smallest elk rifle

    Im a big fan of the 25-06 with a 120 grain bullet. At first I was hestitant to take a 25 caliber elk hunting but after seeing 3 bull elk get dropped (furthest recovery was less than 15 yards after the shot), Im a believer now. Granted all 3 bulls were shot at less than 100 yards in the boiler...

    OTC Cow Elk tags, what r my options?

    Some units are definately better than others but I think every unit is/can be worth hunting if you put in the time to scout or put in the effort to get access to private. A really good tactic that I use all the time is to analysis the statistics and trends to find the good hunts/units that...

    OTC Cow Elk tags, what r my options?

    Not sure I follow. All leftover tags were in the prior draw available 2nd choice, then available 3rd choice, then available 4th choice, then available in the leftover draw before they become leftovers tags. So actually all leftover tags could have been be drawn as 2nd choice but not all 2nd...

    OTC Cow Elk tags, what r my options?

    first choice draw means its your first pick of a hunt. You definately stand a very good (in some cases guaranteed) chance at drawing a cow tag in draw unit, even a very coveted draw unit because as said earlier the majority of hunters put in for bull tags or either sex as a first choice and cow...

    OTC Cow Elk tags, what r my options?

    There are tons of units in Colorado that this is possible. There are units and hunts that have leftover tags where that you can kill a bull every year on public land. There is a leftover unit that me and my brother and hunting party have killed 7 bulls out of 9 bull tags in the last two...

    OTC Cow Elk tags, what r my options?

    Why did you decide OTC? You would generally be better off (less pressure and better chance of killing) in a draw area. If you dont already have any points for any state then you really dont have anything to lose by doing a first choice draw for a cow tag in a good/great area. My advise would...

    Why you should always carry a gun in the back country.

    Haha, I dont think your guns made any difference either. If anything it sounds like the guy was just messing with you probably because he was in a good hunting spot and didn't want you guys or anyone else sticking around for long. I think this because of the reasons below: There was a 5x5...

    Retirement gift hunt - Ideas?

    I think you should look into getting your Dad to draw a non-resident cow moose tag in either Colorado or Wyoming. The tags are pretty darn expensive for a non-resident ($1600-1800) but the quailty of the hunt is great and the price is very comparable to a guided antelope hunt. Moose meat is...

    Does anyone wear Danners?

    I own danner pronghorns and kenetrek mountain extremes. I personally think the kenetreks are junk and i like the danner pronghorns much much better. The Danner pronghorns are lighter, more comfortable and more durable than the kenetreks. The kenetreks are made out of higher quality leather...

    unit 12 colorado around sleepycat mountain?

    +100, I hunted unit 12 one year and it was unbelievable crowded. I shot a bull opening morning but I doubt I will ever go back to that unit without head to toe ORANGE. Saw a lot of elk but I was in fear of getting hit with a stray bullet.

    I new I shouldnt have done it but I did it anyways

    That sucks. Unfortunately I also made the mistake of buying Kenetrek Mountain Extremes last year so I know how you feel. I found that even after 100s of miles they don't get any better. These boots literally almost ended a 6 day backpack muzzleloader elk hunt last September in Colorado...
