    Spiders

    Technically daddy long legs are not spiders, they are Opiliones. Very harmless. My smart-ass moment of the day... Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    In black bear country I usually ust have my food hanging on a tree somewhere in a dry bag. It's not hung high, mostly just to keep chipmunks out of it. I probably still have snacks still in my backpack in the tent regularly. In grizzly country I dont mess around. Practice proper bear safe...

    Big tag with Little Experience

    Just remember that HQ tags are solely based on how many people apply. Almost every archery tag in NM that has good public land access is "HQ". But either way you should have less pressure at least compared to pressured CO or similar. The only external pressure to kill a bull comes from your...

    7mm Rem Mag Ruger M77 mark 2 for elk

    Like others have said the rifle and bullet are solid. Practice more. My 3006 groups really start to open up once that barrel heats up. Slow down, shoot another gun, swab your barrel, etc in between groups to let the barrel cool. Your hunting shot will be with a cold clean barrel most of the time...

    Colorado Unit 81 now a draw instead of OTC for Archery

    Im sure the 2000 archery draw tags and unlimited otc 2nd/3rd rifle tags will help herd quality in 80/81 ...[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    The CPW Youth … err Secondary List is out.

    Does the second draw cycle through your 1st-4th choices just like the regular draw? (except youth have preference). Can't seem to find the answer on the website... Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    2024 co elk recaps

    2018 was the year they stopped charging full tag price at time of application. So super cheap to just put in for points. I think there were a few other changes to the draw system that year also Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Returned Elk Tags

    I've never had an issue for the units I hunt but I also haven't picked up a leftover tag since 21' so I guess I'll find out in Aug:) Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Returned Elk Tags

    I like the tag return/leftover system for its flexibility but would understand why would piss people off. I returned a deer tag last year because I drew a NM deer tag and couldn't do both. Leftover list is usually my fallback to pick up a tag in my unit that was once otc without using my pp...

    Casual T Shirt for HOT Weather - What do you wear?

    I'm outside in Central TX almost every day and just sweat alot in general. I wear just cotton T shirts 90% of the time. Nylon fishing shirts snag on brush too easily and just feel uncomfortable when wet to me. I'll wear SPF fishing shirts in the boat or the pool/lake. Also, you just have to...

    Tracking techniques for Rocky Mountains

    All good info. Also unless you see it fall don't start whopping, hollaring, & recording your videos for the gram yet. Be silent for a good long while and listen for a death moans, crashes, hoofs, rocks etc. Don't be the dude that's yelling you "smoked him!" celebrating early and then can't find...

    What to look for E-Scouting
