    Cliven Bundy Situation

    To me it sounds like he was grazing too many cattle on the range and his cattle caused so much damage that it was harming a native endangered species. And in addition to that he wasn't paying his grazing fees either...... So how is this idiot in the right???

    Cliven Bundy Situation

    Bundy is a complete jackhole and he will lose! He thinks that he can steal from the BLM and every other American citizen because he got there first. Guess what its not the 1800s anymore and things change. Once he stopped paying the grazing fees he forfeited his legal grazing rights and in my...

    30-06 long range factory load options

    500 yards is really far for elk hunting and for a 30-06. Barnes makes a factory load 180 TSX (full copper bullet) that has pretty good pentration that might fit the bill. Idk anything about you or your abilities but in my experience elk are big tough animals that require very precise shot...

    help with Colorado gmu 3 and 301

    Yes you can hunt any OTC unit with an OTC elk tag. unit 3 and 301 are mostly low sage brush country where the elk winter at. Almost all the elk that winter in 3 and 301 migrate into that area from the east or southeast. East is more high country where the big populations of elk will be at...

    help with Colorado gmu 3 and 301

    I think that is a OTC for elk, so don't limit yourself to trying to find elk in unit 3 and 301. Head east or south east of there to get into more elky areas. Not many elk those units that time of year.

    Cheap basic fishing gear

    I am a huge fisherman and your best bet for high country wild trout would be a fly and bubble. Spinners and spoons will work but these fish are used to only eating macroinvertabrates. You will hands down catch more and maybe bigger fish with a fly and bubble. use 4lb flourocarbon and an...

    Colorado's new big game season structure: Submit your ideas!

    The best idea would be you lose all your points if you draw 1st choice or get a list "A" tag. Not gaining points and hunting bulls every year - this is what enables point creep to happen. That would eliminate a ton points and point creep. You can't have your cake and eat it too, do you want...

    Colorado's new big game season structure: Submit your ideas!

    I think point banking is a HORRIBLE idea and I can't stand how high point holders think Colorado owes them something (trophy of a lifetime or multiple mid point draw hunts under point banking). Nobody forced you to keep collecting points year after year after year after year after year... and i...

    Cooking fish in the backcountry

    Me and my buddies just take a small (~ 2 ounces of oil) bottle of oil and deep fry cutthroats whole. We gut them, cut off the head, sprinkle with S&P and drop into hot oil. Whe you are cold, tired and hungry a hot fresh trout fillet is awesome. The meat basically fall off the bone.

    Moose meat and water question

    I have shot a moose that died in a 3 foot deep beaver pond. A water-logged moose is insanely heavy and it was impossible for 3 of us to pull the moose out of the water whole. I had to gut the moose and cut it in half with a saw to get it out of the water. Also a dead moose is a lot like an...

    Calling Elk?

    One last thing, I'm sure i can happen but i have never seen a elk get called in during rifle season. I have called in lots of elk every year during archery and muzzy, but never during rifle season. My advise, for first rifle, is to sit on an escape route and wait and don't go tromping through...

    Calling Elk?

    I may be the odd man out here but i hunt elk in colorado every year almost every season from archery to 4th rifle with friends and family. Calling usually is pretty pointless once the shooting starts at first light of first rifle season. If fact depending on the area it could be quite...

    Unit 11 rifle elk - last chance hunt

    Hellrazor, Oh nice, i would bet that there are lions all over that country in the winter. Did you ever kill any big toms up there? My stepdad is a huge houndsmans back east but they only hunt fox and yotes in Kentucky. I've always though it would be awesome to get him out here to try for a...
