    CO Hunter Orange Question

    I have been watching several videos as well as my hunt approaches. I have to say there are quite a few Colorado rifle hunts where the hunters are NOT wearing ANY orange at all. I guess they figure it's a guideline? I have also seen several where the rifle hunter wears a vest and a whatever...

    Why I would never buy a Tikka

    I personally have sold all of my tikkas. They are ok. I am just really unlucky as the 9 I've had over the years only 1 shot moa with any regularity. I also find it funny that other brands get bashed here so much. It doesn't seem warranted if you read the threads like "what is your elk...

    300 PRC thoughts for Elk?

    Keep in mind some of the naysayers here also will say that practicing with a .223 trainer is fine and then just shoot your 6mm or 6.5 a little before the hunt. 🤣 I see nothing wrong with honing your skills with lesser recoiling, less expensive ammo. Then using your big boy before season a bit...

    Questions About SW Colorado Vacation Plans

    In Pagosa Springs for food....Colorado Roadhouse, Riff Raff on the Rio, and Moutain Pizza and Tap Room are all places I've been. All good food - to me. If you are there for a small lunch or just don't feel like a "restaurant" - the Malt Shoppe is a decent little place right on the river. Good...

    Amazon sil-poly / nylon tarps

    I've used several. I think if you want a lighter weight though you are going to have to spend more. I have both of these. This one has good tie outs for shelters, durable too. I little heavy, little big to pack - 10x10...

    Suggested Temp Rating of Backcountry Late Season Hunting in CO?

    I suggest saving weight. Go with a 0* bag, use the layers you have anyway. I also used to do the nalgene with hot water if it still sucked...but like you say that is only good for about 4 hours. Last year I used hot hands "super warmers". Put one in the foot box, lasts 8 hours at least. Plenty...

    Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?

    I don't qualify for under 8 pounds....I did buy a 300WM this year and rebarreled a 30-06. Trying to keep the WM at 10 pounds or less (just the barreled action is pretty stout). Have to see which one wins the accuracy, dependability tests for this years hunt. It will be one of them though. Even...

    8x as Primary Glassing Optic?

    I'll throw out MHO.... Go with your first choice. 8.5 EL's and a "compact" spotter. Those EL's are alpha glass and will get the most use. The 8.5's will not hold you back and will be more useful for your normal and "out west" adventures - especially off a tripod. The spotter will offer more...

    Which brand isobutane fuel are you using for your stoves?

    For me the Coleman "performance" blend absolutely sucks in the cold. MSR, GSI, jetboil, couple others have been just fine.

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    It's your money, spend it how you want. I would go 7 PRC if it were me. Nothing wrong with Savage. Been looking at one in 300 win mag myself... Oh! AND MDT makes a long action savage chassis already...the oryx, XRS, and LSS-XL Gen2 Black friday on the Oryx was around $280 I think...

    Ruger Gen 2 American VS Tikka

    I understand completely. My ruger american predator is easily as fast and smooth as my tikkas. I have no issue with feeding, firing, ejecting. I don't think of them as a budget rifle at all. Full disclosure I went around back and fired the tikka 6.5 creed to "test" it. It did enough to give...
