    Winterkill Update: Utah, Idaho, Wyoming

    I know this is not about Colorado but it is getting bad a lot of places here as well. South West Colorado just got 5+ feet of snow in a lot of places and the Gunnison basin is breaking records. Eagle area also has a lot of snow… 1993 is the record year around here = I remember it well as I...

    Winter kill is real

    It’s not only in the northwest but other places. The south west just got 5 ish feet of snow depending on where you are at. Gunnison basin is surpassing 2008 pry not many folks remember that year. But it changed deer hunting in the Gunnison basin forever. Only have 93 to beat now even less of...

    Best trekking poles

    The whippet is a specific item I use the summer but for most any mountain application is unnecessary.. The poles are black Diamond carbon. They are breakdown so they fit in my pack as I need this. Good luck on your search and again yea the whippet is unnecessary for most folks but sure...

    Best trekking poles

    The new bd carbon poles you can attach a “whippet” attachment to the top. Honestly while necessary sometimes - carting an ice axe is just a pain in the ass and while this not an ice axe it fills that niche for me 95% of the time in the summer. Also it’s great to dig out a place to sit...

    Unit 44 Colorado Mule Deer Hunt 4th season

    If you are a resident the cpw is taking tags from resident hunters and just might affect you. I talked w a resident who has 20 that has been enough for 4th at 80% but at 75% he is likely waiting another year or 2. Yea crazy Colorado is giving more tags to non residents in high point units…

    2023 Cold Bow Challenge Q&A Thread

    After being out for last year due to an injury I am looking forward to be back at it this year. Funny but my daughter was bugging me to pull out her bow yesterday as at 11 she is taking hunters safety. This will be her first year in the draws and it seems some of the boys in her class don’t...

    CPW screwing Residents yet again….

    Yep usc now are you sending a email to the commission and putting this on the cpw input page? If even 50 of us do we would pry get 75% minimum of all tags. Residents say it again 75% minimum. From who I talk with is is achievable if we send in feedback… I sent in mine how about you?

    CPW screwing Residents yet again….

    It is going to be 75-25% so it should be 75% minimum of all tags.. First draw, second draw, youth, and returned tags. No reason lo tags can’t be set aside at the 75-25 split as well. If no resident wants a license then it can be placed on the leftover list for everyone. I don’t think too many...

    CPW screwing Residents yet again….

    Haha elk you angry much man 😂. Since you brought it up yea if they cba had pushed 80-20 for residents instead of the insane loosing battle they keep on pushing to keep otc units we would be in a better spot from where I sit. I don’t think they have much else to do w this tho. As you stated it...

    Legit Hunting Personalities

    I have met most all of the guys named at one time or another. Few I don’t know. One clearly separates himself from every other hunter I have met both on the hill and in life. Randy Ulmer..

    Long Draw, 31.5"

    31.5 here I shoot hoyt ultra’s = they work well for me. I think one is the rx4 and the other a Rx5. Before that I shot a bow tech cpxl. It is pry 8-10 years old but shoots good as well. Still have it but don’t shoot it much anymore.

    Unit 44 Colorado

    The snow early in 2022 put a hurting on the top end bucks in 44. Or most to all of the 1%res got killed last year. Bucks only grow so fast so it will be interesting to see what’s left or hope for some to grow up fast. Realistic expectations I will assume is 170”+ in there unless you know it...

    Alpine Mulies 2023….

    Well you are in luck! The thing about old Co is the starting date is so late (Sept 2nd) that you only have about a week until they scrape off.. Since it takes guys like me so long to kill 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ = there is a pretty darn good chance it will be hard horned anyway. 2 of my last 4 archery bucks...
