    Couple of weird things I witnessed last week. Summertime crazies?

    Had a guy at the boat ramp come into the dock completely perpendicular which blocked all three lanes of the ramp. He then starts chatting with some chick on the ramp for several minutes. I finally hollered that we are trying to load and unload boats (as there were three trailers in the water all...

    Suggested Temp Rating of Backcountry Late Season Hunting in CO?

    I run a Chillkoot 15, and if it gets really cold I wear my layers up to and including puffy pants and jacket. That way I can save some weight and bulk backpack hunting. I'm running a Sitka Kelvin Down WS for my puffy that time of year for reference. As long as your sleeping bag is sized...

    CO National Forests and Accessing Via Roads/Trails

    Let me put it this way, I will be in the field the same time and I will have them with me. The thing about September is, it can be sunny and 85 today and snow a foot the next day you just never know that time of year. Also if you were to get a real soaker of a rain storm and you are on the right...

    CO National Forests and Accessing Via Roads/Trails

    All terrains are fine. Buy and bring some good strong chains (Colorado is rocky). I like the boron alloy ones from tirechain.com, they are expensive but Ive been using mine for around 10 years and I still haven't broken one. This is on a 2500 diesel too so heavy truck. I dont care what season it...

    Just curious of your thoughts with the new CO changes

    My initial reaction is I doubt its going to increase 2nd and 3rd otc drastically. Most guys bowhunting elk really want that experience in the rut. Im probably wrong though

    CPW officially recommends fully limiting NR Archery- OTC Resident

    There was a lot of discussion about this yesterday too. The commission really wants to institue mandatory harvest reporting. Staff doesn't want to. I believe staff was directed to put together a presentation for the commission on how and why they do things currently.

    CPW officially recommends fully limiting NR Archery- OTC Resident

    CPW staff recommended keeping OTC rifle the same because they are really concerned about the budget shortfall coming from the limitation of NR. They said this to the commission multiple times over the last few months of meetings. From what they said they want to phase in the elimination of OTC...

    MTNTOUGH On-Ramp Program

    Definitely seeing weight loss. Ive been doing Mtntough since late last September. So far I think Ive lost about 25lbs. I still have a ways to go weight loss wise but Im doing 12 week cycles of weight loss and then 12 weeks of maintenance so my body can have some rest time and I don't get over...

    Im going Tarp Bivy this year. Give me you tips and tricks

    This is precisely the advantage I see to a tarp bivy setup in archery season chasing down elk. Gone in five minutes just stuffing everything in the pack as one.

    Im going Tarp Bivy this year. Give me you tips and tricks

    I addressed this in my previous longer post. I have floorless canopy (Seek Outside Eolus) and Ive used it extensively both with an inner nest, bivy, and just tyvek. If you reread that post youll see why Im considering taking a tarp instead and what bivy Im taking and why.

    Im going Tarp Bivy this year. Give me you tips and tricks

    Everyone thank you so much for you input. This has become a great thread. It occurs to me that I should have been a bit more specific about my use case. I am helping a buddy who drew a great archery elk tag this year. The plan is to be light and mobile. We will be between 9k and timberline in...
