Managing stress/anxiety around a LE Elk tag
Tell me about it. I'm two weeks away from my bighorn ram hunt, once in a lifetime. It's been a crazy summer - I wasn't in great shape after Covid, got laid off and started a new job, very busy life as a single dad, all the while stressing about how I didn't have enough time to prepare or get... -

Cow Elk Selection - Age, size, etc
I've shot a rutted up and wounded 6x6 bull that was nice and tender, a medium cow that was tender, and had meat from a buddy's old cow that was tough as shoe leather. The flavor was the same for all of them, fantastic. I've eaten a calf or two, always delicious and tender, like veal. I... -
How Long Before You Move On?
Hard to say, might be the way the boot fits you or might just be that it's a really tough boot to break in. The digging in across your toes concerns me more than heel slippage, based on my experience. Here are a couple of examples from my past: Around 2017 I bought a pair of Crispi Idaho's... -
pains of the terrible 2's
Some great advice on here, and even though I have slightly older kids now (10, 8, 5) I've learned a couple things I could have done better when they were that age. Just wanted to add a vote for the Love & Logic style of parenting, it's helped me a lot. We took a class a few years back, and...- Vids

Colorado Sheep/Goat
That's awesome, especially to have it happen this early! Still plenty of time to scout. Heck, I haven't even started yet, way too much snow up there still. I got the email from them for a ewe tag that had been turned in in 2016, but I got it two weeks before the hunt. -

Yeah, the studio is definitely a bit off. The LA studio was much better. Agreed Joey was always fantastic on there! Anytime I saw a JRE Diaz episode pop up I'd listen to it right away. That dude's lived a crazy life and his stories are epic. I've been listening to Uncle Joey's Joint since...- Vids

I agree his podcast has gone downhill a little, but I think it's more related to him moving to Austin than Spotify. His guests haven't been as interesting in my opinion. Some of his funniest podcasts were when he had guys like Joey Diaz, Bert, Tom, and other LA comedians on. Now they all live...- Vids

My mainstays are similar to most on here: Jocko Cleared Hot Order of Man Meateater Team Never Quit Rogan Carolla Lately I've been needing some comedy and I discovered the YMH Studios podcasts (Tom Segura, Christina, Bert Kreischer for those of you who know them from JRE, along with Dr. Drew)...- Vids

Colorado draw results!
Just saw the $56.88 charge to my account as well, now I need to find out what it is. Either incredibly lucky in the hybrid draw, or the same game as usual. -
Colorado draw results!
Ahh, yes, that's it. I didn't think of that because I never got the unsuccessful email about moose. -
Colorado draw results!
Yep. Deer, bear and moose points have updated. Elk and pronghorn have not. Who knows what's going on. My state park pass expires this month, but I don't think they auto renew that and it would be $80 at any rate. -
Colorado draw results!
I've got something weird going on. I got hit for $50.00 by the DPW today, and the only possibility could be elk as I applied for PP on everything else. But $50 even doesn't make sense if the license price is $56.88 I received the no joy email on deer, so it's not that. -
Colorado Sheep/Goat
You are correct on this, the weighted points do matter. Statistically speaking, having 21 wp versus 20 wp doesn't tip the scales too much in your favor, but having 21 wp versus 2 wp is a big difference. People tend to get hung up on the fact that there are a number of low wp holder drawing... -
Colorado Sheep/Goat
S4 Ram Rifle tag headed my way after 16 years of waiting! Had to re-read the email a few times to confirm I actually read the word "successful" right, LOL Now I'm praying for the snow to melt so the scouting can begin!! -
Less than 2 weeks until Colorado sheep and goat results!
Looks like a lucky year for me as well!!! After 16 years of applying, I drew S04 second season rifle ram tag. I would certainly appreciate input on S04 if anyone has advice to give. I do know the unit at least somewhat having hunted goats next door to it in 2012 and I've hiked there quite a... -
EXO pack durability?
Another experience here. Have had my first gen 5500 since about 2015 (bought used here on Rokslide). Packed out several elk and antelope with it, along with countless sandbags to the tops of the foothills. Last winter I took the bag off and noticed the frame was starting to rub through a bit... -
Late Elk Tag Unit 20 - Colorado
We hunted Big Elk Park (both east and west sides) and Bright Trail, but no further south than that.
