    Moving to colorado

    You'll have to be a resident at time of application. It sounds like you'll be able to buy an OTC elk as a resident since you can wait and buy that in September. You'll miss out on the deer application as a resident ( deer is all draw) but may be able to pick up a leftover if you're a resident...

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    I decided that I wasn't waiting this year given a good chance at a cow. I followed through this morning at 9:30.

    Moving to colorado

    We lived in the mountains, in Leadville,when there. Vail and Beaver Creek were roughly $100 per day. We had season passes the first year. My wife worked part time selling tickets so we got a smoking deal but they changed the rules and it wasn't such a good deal any longer. We skied Cooper at...

    What do you age him at?

    Dangit man!!! That had to hurt. Good luck on the hunt.

    What do you age him at?

    I could be wrong. I think the zoomed out photo makes him look bigger. The majority of folks hunting MT would shoot.

    Mt antelope drawing results 2023

    Probably lots. At least that's what I've seen in my relatively short antelope career. :) I still love it though.

    What do you age him at?

    He looks young to me and I wouldn't guess him more than 3.5. I also don't think he'll make 150 as previously mentioned, considering the short main beams and not particularly heavy. I'm not saying he's not a pretty buck, but I think he's short of some predictions. I could be full of it too...

    CO 45 2nd rifle

    Unless you are judging trophy potential,10x42s are more than capable for glassing elk. If I already had a cow tag that I thought I could fill, I'd buy the bull tag instead of another cow.

    I think the majority of these guys are probably rifle hunting. I know I am and look forward to it.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    I temporarily lost a 4 wheeler (my dad's) years ago while whitetail hunting back home. I dropped a buddy off at a location, drove him across a field, then reloaded the 4 wheeler. I applied the break, was supposed to have left it in gear, and used a strap across the back. I got 3 or 4 miles...

    Grizzly Encounter / Shots Fired near Big Sky

    I'll still probably take my chances with the car. :) Besides, the more folks that are scared witless of the grizzlies, the fewer folks I have to compete with elk hunting.

    Grizzly Encounter / Shots Fired near Big Sky

    How many folks are driving a car each day as compared to those wandering around with grizzlies? Teeth and claws tend to spook folks especially when they are as big and unpredictable as a bear. I'd prefer to be in a car wreck as opposed to being chewed on and tossed around like a rag doll. I...

    Grizzly Encounter / Shots Fired near Big Sky

    Shooting them with a paintball gun, as suggested, isn't hunting them. I will agree that a full on assault on the grizzly population would change some things, but grizzly aren't your typical North American predator. In addition, we aren't going to be hunting them like we do elk or deer. There...

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    I can recall a pair of prescription glasses that I lost while dragging a whitetail doe out that my son killed.

    Grizzly Encounter / Shots Fired near Big Sky

    Summarized from an FWP release today: An upland hunter near Freezeout Lake was charged yesterday by a male grizzly along a shelter belt. The Hunter fired two rounds from his shotgun at 15 feet, hitting it at least once, and causing it to flee. FWP has found evidence of a wound but no bear...

    Grizzly Encounter / Shots Fired near Big Sky

    I have seen that. It's pretty crazy. I definitely wouldn't recommend for the majority of folks. Or I should say that I'm not doing it. :)

    "The Best Killer Elk Rifles from a Guide's Perspective"

    The necessary energy to kill an elk is not my point. It's to argue against this idea that energy isn't important. There is some energy level required for that bullet to perform. The manufacturer has said xxxx fps for performance because at that velocity they've determined their bullet will...
