    ban on video taping hunts on public ground

    Hunter numbers aren't at risk of doubling. Period. I don't care how many films come out. There were roughly 14 million hunters in the US in 1960, at a time when there were 179 million Americans. The hunter numbers haven't changed much as an average over the last 6 decades. It's at roughly 15...

    ban on video taping hunts on public ground

    I couldn't agree more. The overall promotion of hunting has caused many negative externalities for those of us who have been doing it for a long time. Trust me, I live in an OTC elk unit in Colorado. Nobody feels the crushing pressure more than us. The very LAST OTC unlimited elk tags available...

    Fatigue / Pain Management on long hunts

    I just ordered a Stark Varg electric dirt bike. It should be way sneakier than my 4-stroke.....I guess that makes me a treehugger and a dirtbag.

    ban on video taping hunts on public ground

    So, the OP's objection to filming hunts was that they create unwanted exposure to certain hunting spots. Valid point. Although, I would bet that this forum (and others like it) have blown up considerably more hunting spots than filmed hunts ever have, like by a mile. I personally have given...

    Expandable broadheads recommendation

    I'm going to pile onto the SEVR votes. 1.5" only for me. They are a great option for longer shots and in nasty wind. I keep half Iron Will vented fixies and half SEVR 1.5's in my quiver for all Western critters. I've personally tested a stupid amount of broadheads in many ways and that's my...

    New Mexico 2023 Draw Thread

    I'm hoping to grab an ID tag tomorrow as well. Thought I had the points to pull a WY limited tag this year so I didn't put in early...but, they reduced quotas due to winter kill quite a bit in some zones post draw deadline. I'll still have CO OTC (I'm a resident of unit 43) but hoping to pull...

    New Mexico 2023 Draw Thread

    I just binge read all the posts from today after checking draw results on NMGF at 7PM....gosh I'm getting smart in my old age. All the laughs, and without some jokester giving me a heart attack ; ) Good luck getting a returned ID elk tag....there are only 304 of them!

    WTS 2022 Prime Inline 3, RH, 65lb DW 26"-30.5" DL

    Selling my damn near new Prime Inline 3 in Morel Scar. The camo dip/finish on this bow looks really good. $750 for the bare bow or $950 with a perfectly tuned Hamskea Epsilon rest. Someone will be getting a great deal. I can provide my arrow build specs if you are shooting at a 29" DL and...

    Camera gear for film & cinematography

    Hi All, I'm looking for some expert advice on camera gear for filming Western hunts (all archery, so some close shots) and also cinematography of mountain terrain/landscapes. I'm not new to photography or cameras, but don't have much experience with video specific gear. I'm looking for the type...

    Colorado sheep and goat credit card hits?

    Nice to pseudo meet you, Dave. I'm Tyler. Black GMC Sierra with a topper if you see me. I plan to hunt opening week as well. It's such a beautiful unit. I've really enjoyed scouting up there, minus the biblical amount of bugs this year. Better than smoke though! Best of luck to you as well!

    Final Gear List for Colorado

    Hey John, I'm a Colorado native, live in the central mountains and have been backpacking, mountaineering and bowhunting for all of my adult life. I'm not going to tell you what gear I would use unless you want my opinion, but....here are a few things I would suggest changing. Assuming your...

    Colorado sheep and goat credit card hits?

    Have you been scouting rams in 12? I'm headed there tomorrow for 4 days, last chance I'll have to scout before the opener. TAC at Sunlight was fun...I live 10 minutes from there. I wish I would have read this thread earlier, it would have been good to meet you before the season opens!

    444,45 co

    I live in 43 and lived in 444 for 7 or 8 years. 444 is a pretty sprawling unit and there is plenty of scrub-oak and sage..... It really depends on what zones you want to hunt. There isn't really too much above timberline to speak of. Mixed aspen and dark timber above the oak and sage...

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    Sorry for the slow response. I've never hunted 700 before. It looks like great country though! I'm planning to go up the last few days of September and the first week of October. I have a Gila elk tag that runs Sept. 15-24th, so that's about as early as I can get there. When are you headed in?
