If anyone is so willing to have a chat with me about Units 4/441/214 in Colorado, shoot me a PM. Headed there tomorrow. Buck and Bull tags. I'm backpack ready. I've done tons of e-scouting, but unfortunately with the virus/work/etc, just never had time to get there and scout boots on the ground...
These aren't exactly hunting specific. I've moved more towards synthetics, not entirely, but mostly.
2019 Patagonia down hoody, excellent condition. I just don't need it. $250
Northface full blown belay jacket, baffled Construction. It's REALLY warm. Like too warm for most things! $300
I just picked up a new Leupold 4-12 CDS scope for my .308 and want to order the custom dial, but wanted to get some feedback on .308 loads. I'll likely end up getting a few different dials for the scope. Last year I shot Nosler Accubond 165 grain for elk/mule deer, and then hunting whitetail...
Id have to go back and look at my 3rd/4th choices, but i didnt draw an elk archery tag in 7/8/9/19/191 or whatever that cluster is or 20 and didnt draw a bear or antelope tag locally either. I put in for a different area for buck and drew, which is great. And luckily i should be able to get an...
I do have a buck tag I want.
Yea Covid is insult to injury. Hunting pressure varies greatly state by state. Where I grew up, the hunting pressure has declined even since I was in high school, and the hunting has gotten better and better. My Dad is dumbfounded at how few hunters there are in...
come on now. Hey i dont mind bring wrong. Im trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong to be able to hunt more. Im merely pointing
No I hear you, and I can take the heat. And i don't mind being wrong/critiqued. That's how I'll learn. I don't think lots of these dudes are hearing me out...
It's insulting because it's a money grab, and practically every Tom, Dick, and Phillip I know in the state thinks so. I've met plenty of old timer locals who quit hunting because it's a chore now. I'm not against CPW, im merely pointing out that it's absurd you can't snag a tag in your own...
The point really isn't the drive. The drive is insulting, because the state is giving away loads of non-resident tags because they make the cold cash and **** residents. I spend the fall hunting all over, but increasingly i fly 3000 miles back East to hunt Whitetail states because opportunity...
Yea it's crazy. How do you become a competent western hunter when you're driving 4 hours to load your gun? Don't move to the front range... fair enough.
I actually think that's better, im just learning that the draw thing is BS. If you want to hunt Moose, then go ******* hunt Moose and just pay. I grew up in PA and doe tags are technically a draw, but you can draw easily, and hunt your backyard. So i thought the draw was a sensible approach, IM...
Right, you can just go the OTC route, and there are plenty of tags there, and that's what I'll do. I'm just irritated I have to drive 4 freakin' hours to hunt! Even for ducks, it's 3 hours!
I moved to Colorado to hunt, and when not hunting, to fish. Here we are August 4th at 10:15am, and I currently don't have a tag within 4 hours of home. As a matter of fact, I have 1 tag. I drew 1 of 5 tags, a buck tag out past steamboat. I had a list of leftover tags a mile long, and couldn't...
