    Gaiters? What do you feel is the main purpose

    All of the reasons stated above. Adding I have my old pair sprayed down with permethrin, giving me tick protection. I'm ready to ditch them for the summer. I wear them Sept - May. Out west I'll even wear them when in camp. Let all the passerby's know I mean business. ;)

    Returned Elk Tags

    No shame in playing the game by the rules that are bestowed upon us. If I was given a vote on the short tag surrender period, I would vote to abolish it and I have used that loophole to my advantage on one occasion. To the original question, if my points were involved I would surrender it now...

    License Fraud help!

    If you're splitting time between a house in Palouse and a bus, good chance the house is your residence. Not the bus. I vote for wherever Palouse is.

    2024 co elk recaps

    The number that really jumps out to me is the number applying for points as their first choice. Almost 122k. Up about 30k since 2020. That’s as far back as I track. Clearly people not bailing out of the game. For elk

    2024 co elk recaps

    Had to help just by the math. Enough to see it in the points required column??? Maybe not. Looks like adult resident 1st choice draw odds went up about 4% vs 2023. Can’t pinpoint that solely to the new quota split though. Edit add: this is elk

    Are Colorado GMUS worth it for 1st rifle elk?

    You got a point and got a tag. May as well go hunt. Even coming home with an unpunched tag better than going to work. You can never do your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ……, elk hunt if you never do your 1st.

    Colorado Second Draw Question

    Without knowing your unit specifics, chances are your odds of getting the tag in 2nd draw are extremely low. Good chance they’re zero %

    Are Colorado GMUS worth it for 1st rifle elk?

    If all you wanted was a point, the point code would be your first choice, and you shouldn’t have put anything for choice 2,3,4.

    OTC Criteria?

    The MVUM is one of the most informative paper maps you can have. Pick one up for the area you choose. They're free. They're online too.

    We need to start lobbying for point system reform

    Try to solve point creep if you wish. But you’ve got to understand it before you can solve it. @BuckeyeRifleman you’ve said many times that the major problem with creep is people buying points and not applying. That simply is not true. How would a person, not entered in the draw, change the out...

    over torqued screw on Leupold prw2

    Get it out and put a new screw in. Why experiment with how long it will hold zero? Suppose it holds until the day before your hunt starts?

    Wyoming South Region tags

    The most helpful information may be to stop listening to whoever told you what you have already heard about the region.

    Awesome Venison Burgers

    @RMajors question for you, the bacon is it cooked or raw? I just made some and we’re loving the flavor, but I couldn’t keep them from breaking apart on the flip. I used raw bacon
