    Colorado stopping OTC

    We can't have hunters competing for the wolves' food supply. Everyone knows there's way more money in wolf tourism dollars than hunting dollars. At least that's what they believe on the Front Range.

    Kansas Mule Deer Poaching Investigation Nets 140 Charges

    "#1. I’m not out of Texas. I do hunt there a lot. But that’s not where I’m from." Yet your phone number's area code is from the Permian Basin... You're also being mentioned on the KS forum of Bowsite. Might as well go defend yourself over there while you're at it.

    Getting a bedded elk to stand up

    They stand to pee every 3 hours or so. Unless daylight or wind is an issue, don't force something that will eventually happen on its own. Funny story on this. I had 3 bulls come and cross a sage flat below me and bed way up above me. My father was on a different part of the ranch and I told him...

    NM 2’s, January archery

    I’m in 5A right now on private. I’ve seen nothing respectable on camera and no rutting activity. I have a tag that I can activate before the end of January but nothing worthy of activating has been spotted as of late. The late season bull action has been favorable though.

    Archery Sheep Outfits on the decline?

    It can be done. However, I got my Dall with a rifle and plan to get the other two with a rifle. For me, it was about drawing the tag that factored into Colorado sheep with a bow. I knew the odds were stacked against me but at least I would be sheep hunting.

    How many shots ? ?

    Considering that a .375 is the minimum caliber allowed for dangerous game in Africa, I don’t see where your BAR is even part of the discussion. My point was that it was asinine for the man to suggest taking a dangerous game rifle that is built for Africa up into the elk mountains.

    How many shots ? ?

    Shoot some big bore rifles and you’ll wish they were heavier…

    Elk 2nd Estrus?

    Awesome. Thanks for the intel.

    How many shots ? ?

    I had a dumbass in a TX Cabela’s tell me that I needed a 416 Rigby for elk. “They’re big animals!” I was looking at double rifles. Yeah, I’ll take my Dakota 76 up into the mountains that weighs 12+ lbs and drops like hell after 200 yards slinging a 400 grain Barnes Triple Shock. I’ve only...

    Elk 2nd Estrus?

    Yesterday morning, a friend watched a bull mount a cow. I know whitetails are known to cycle again if they didn't get bred the first cycle. I've shot my two biggest whitetails after the rut chasing fawns that were cycling late. Maybe what he saw was a calf that cycled? Just seems odd for this...

    Rut Report, CO 3rd Season

    Just watched a 180” buck pushing a herd of 8-10 does and heard him grunting. I’d say that it’s on.

    Rut Report, CO 3rd Season

    I’m seeing some decent rut activity in the Gunnison Valley. Unfortunately, no deer tag and chasing elk.

    Interesting cow behavior

    Elk are very curious creatures. We use bear boxes on our trail cams and the elk cannot help themselves but still mess with them. We have the bear boxes for the elk, not the bears. In the offseason, when/where legal, we have the cellular cams. The elk have gone so far as to bite and snap the...

    disappointing hunt in G

    Franco was in camp but was in on the other 2 successful hunts in our camp. He definitely knows his stuff and we've been messaging back and forth since my departure. Unfortunately, I never got to hit the mountain with Franco.

    disappointing hunt in G

    The biologist called me after I spoke with the game warden and she’s been nothing short of awesome. I saved the teeth for her and she’s sending me an old collar as a souvenir. They have some data to extract from my collar and will reuse it. As much as I’d like to keep it, we’re conservationists...

    2022 MULE DEER MEAT POLE

    The game warden just called me. I laughed and asked if they tracked me by the collar in my garage and he said that they did. Nice guy and he's getting me in touch with the biologist in Laramie at UW. I did save the teeth, so we will know the age of him. I called the number on the collar and...

    disappointing hunt in G

    Well, as promised, I am following-up here. Thanks to this forum, I found Tre Heiner/Double Diamond Outfitters and had nothing but great feedback from those on this forum. I had some nice phone conversations with forum members on their hunts. If you look at the meat pole, I was successful on day...
