Unless I am missing something buck is just ok nothing to get too fired up about.. Looks like a above average buck w not much mass….
A trophy is different to everyone congratulations to the hunter I am sure he worked hard = but yea to post a pic of a noticeable landmark is well a move for...
Not all high country hunters wear expensive boots….
Or unless I need crampons and the ice axes that accompany them - in early season I will be in tennis shoes. I have transitioned from Solomon speed cross to hoka speed goat gtx..
Take em with you… Father of 2 daughters here = my wife was in elk camp on sept 17-22 on my first daughter she was born on Sept 27th.. My second was born on August 29h and was in elk camp at 10,500’ by sept 7 and stayed for 2 weeks.
I did pull a 5th wheel to stay in there for a few years and...
Run one for mule deer as shooting extreme angles as well as what you deal w in that terrain make them a welcome addition. The extra cords and moving parts on drop aways can and will fail, catch on brush, and whatnot. A biscuit keeps on ticking.
There is no stabilizer on my hunting bow either…...
I was in several units helping friends (Eagle, Gunny, and central units) and where I was the bucks were rutting hard. Very hard or bent ears and fighting almost every day.. No matter what folks say Gunnison basin is missing a age class from the 16’ and 18’ winters. Colorado drainage has...
Oh yea that’s right the “elk only” Colorado Bowhunters Ass choose to push the opening date for archery. Or archery deer hunters lost the best 6 days of hunting this year…
Yea quite the Ass looking out for deer hunters in Colorado.
Lost almost a full week. Yea thanks CBA for totally...
Slugz this works even better w eddyline black or “blackout” cans. 10% DIPA at 10k = my man might start crying and reliving childhood memories 😆.. Just like Sam Malone I just drink ice tea and listen..
Moonshine works even better…. On that note a 10 year old home aged and distilled single malt...
I live in a small town in central Colorado. Price of living is so extreme it prices out most folks on a non tipping budget (or the folks that can’t afford it).. Meals are pry 2x what most of you pay but 2x as good 😊.. Since I am the 3 rd generation to build this community - I tip well. Flat...
Some folks can’t get into the que. Kicking off others….
Directions say everyone past residency page will get kicked off at 9.
We will see smooth as butta!!
Yep it is hard work looking at 30+ bucks as the as the sun comes up and then fly fishing as the sun goes down.
Some folks might not believe my 2 pics were taken the same day. 👌👍
Travis is “claiming” his trip to Co is “work” 👌..
Well I can attest to him putting in “work” testing the yeti while catching a few fish float fishing the Ark..
I do have to say the new stay open top is pretty cool.
The nr funding argument is dated and will soon be irrelevant. 👍
Or how many non residents are going to be paying the new CPW “tax” of 29usd to register your car every year….
Oh yea zero. You know how many Co residents will or forget to opt out? About 55-60%…. Maybe more!! At just over 5...
The allocation for residents in Co is laughable when compared to all the western states. This is a fact period..
Residents should get allocated 80/20 in all CO draws (returned tags as well). This is a very fair allocation for nr when looking at all western states. Even most nr feel 80-20 is...
The draw stats are out.
Interesting but in some units non residents drew 60+% of the tags. Very unfair - at least resident youth deserve a 80/20 split.

Agreed it should change to be youth residents for the first 24 hrs then open to non resident youth and adults follow. The computer crashes and the like would be eliminated and would be much more process fair if residents had the first crack at the licenses.
All the rest of the returned tags...

You can pay the dude from Utah to scout G for you he does this for quite a few folks each year.
Or follow the 20 night rule.. Make the sacrifice, spend 20 nights scouting in G, and earn your buck.
