    UTV accessories?

    Keep the belt/belt tool with the UTV, also a basic tool kit with 10, 13, 15, and 17mm ratchets and box wrenches in case something comes loose. A 4-way (or appropriate socket) for the lug nuts. Extra lug nuts (I usually try to have a few extra misc suspension nuts and bolts with me as well). Vice...

    sig 365 for CC

    The 'better' way is to have the optic mount separate from the rear sight. It gives you more options. I have an XL that replaces the rear sight, and had Danger Close Armament mill a regular 365 slide and put it in front of the rear sight. Functionally they shoot the same, but I prefer the...

    Last day Hail Mary Help

    As a dude who spends a lot of time in the woods hunting and guiding, I don't think I could get 3 (2 other) folks stalked into a herd. If you're getting within 100 yds, dump the crew and get after it solo (or let them stage 80-90 yds behind you). Huge kudos to Paul (ElkNut1), that is an...

    sig 365 for CC

    Skip the SAS model (slick sights). Get any other 365, preferably one with a red dot optic cutout. Mount a red dot and join the future. I also prefer the Wilson Combat grip module to either the 365 or 365XL grip module, the combination of stippling and finger tapers makes for a large improvement...

    Seems to be a good year on CO public land

    https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/co-unit-37-371-discussion-opinions.264899/ 47 replies, 3,000+ views on this one thread. You're proving his point. Once someone starts googling, all this shit is served up on a platter for them by connecting about 3 dots. It is literally changing the way...

    Practical/effective ear protection while hunting

    Get a suppressor. It's worth it for everything from reduced muzzle blast, to reduced recoil, to reduced 'flinch' from new/infrequent shooters, to reduced animal reaction from shots, etc... For over-ear hearing protection, whatever you go with get some NoiseFighter gel ear pads. Way more...

    Polaris RZR

    I have a fairly extensive background both in the sport UTVs and the more utilitarian models as well (used to have an off-road racing shop, currently own a few UTVs, and work for another ranch that has ~20). My straight opinion is that Polaris has nickle and dimed their lineup into being the...

    Processor recommendation Evergreen - Conifer CO

    You'll get your own solid meat back, meaning steaks/roasts/etc. Anything ground is going to be hit and miss, and for jerky I'd say low chance. I've had them do quite a few animals and was happy with the result (usually, I feel sometimes they are too aggressive on trimming meat). I have heard...

    Organizing gun case for flight?

    Don't fly that far with only one magazine for your hunting rifle. Shit happens, and sourcing a replacement there may not be an option.

    PA public land pressure vs. CO public land pressure

    You'll feel happy with the numbers of hunters per square mile and only seeing 20-30 trucks at a trailhead. The issue is we don't have anywhere near the animal population density per square mile as PA (or maybe they are there for a short period then gone again for a calendar year); and one...

    Colorado .. a rainforest??

    Our weather station is showing 1.02" of rain since Sunday morning, and an overnight low of 37.1*. We'll see what September actually has in store regarding rainfall and temps, but I can tell you if I was in the mountains yesterday I would've wanted good rain gear and extra layers underneath.

    Colorado .. a rainforest??

    Roughly 5.5" of rain in July, over 1.9" of rain so far in August at ~8k ft in NW CO. It just needs to quit long enough for us to get the rest of the hay done for the year and then it can go back to non-stop rain.

    Mountain identification help

    The first mountain is Bull Mountain in Alaska, there is a good locals-only ski resort on the other side. No clue on the second, sorry.

    Opinions on First Lite gear for archery Elk season

    I used to have a decent amount of FL gear; I have trimmed it down to merino layers at this point though. My largest gripes are/were durability and a lack of any windproof layers, a cool wind cuts through all of their stuff very easily.

    How do we fix the access problem of eastern hunters?

    OP makes a lot of threads asking for/complaining about stuff. Best to ignore and move on, like he would after a questionable shot and no immediate blood trail.

    Hunt Quietly - Matt Rinella's new website and podcast

    I'm on board with the general idea of hunting without the publicity, but the the double speak of not hiring guides/paying for access on private while lamenting public overcrowding is laughable. Should I stop taking new hunters out too, since everything is overcrowded? Every year the average...

    Training/loaner/kids rifle

    This is the truth. I built a 6.5 PRC that is almost a direct clone of my .300WM as a loaner/deer/antelope rifle, it's been handy to have a complete second rifle on more than one occasion.

    Distance to 'Get Away Cabin' or Property?

    It's about .5 mile for us to get to the cabin from the house, the traffic usually encountered is waterfowl, deer, bears, elk, and miscellaneous livestock. The drawbacks are currently the cabin has no doors, windows, floor, or a roof, so it's utility is a bit limited.

    Good hike trails in eastern colorado?

    Eastern CO is primarily flat-ish private farmland/rangeland with no trees or water, will be hotter than absolute shit in July/August, and most importantly for you doesn't have trails like you're talking about.

    Popper

    Your story quoted an 'ex fed gov' guy, not an employee of a private company. The .gov (local, state, federal) has their own EOD for disposal of things that (may) go sizzle, pop, and boom. DEA/FBI/OGA have their own industrial incinerators for disposing of drugs and other contraband, along with...
