    Colorado hotel resort within 2.5 hours of Denver.

    Seconded, took the family there for my wife and I's 10th anniversary. Kids still talk about Ludwig's breakfast five years later ("What was that really fancy hotel we stayed at with the breakfast? We should go there again"). Only caveat is Sunday traffic back towards Denver is brutal so if you...

    Weed Whackers

    I'm sure there are use cases for electric lawn equipment, but mine isn't it. I got an electric mower that can barely do the back and side yards before it needs to be recharged, turning a simple mow into a multi-hour ordeal. Electric weed whackers make no sense to me either but to each their own...

    Colonoscopy....

    Had my first a couple months ago at age 49. They found 3 polyps so I'm on the every 5 years schedule now. Anyone reading this thread who knows that it's time to get one done but is dragging their heels should go make their appt right now. The procedure is nothing, the prep isn't fun but not...

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    It's only the worst if, like us, you value hunting and ranching. But if you're Marlon Reis, and you despise hunting and ranching, then it's one of the best places to start.

    Colorado wolves released today

    All the wolves are collared. There are satellite collars which, much like a Garmin inReach or a SpotX, can send a GPS coordinate on a regular (daily, hourly) interval via satellite. There are also just regular radio collars which can be picked up by aerial flyovers. Not sure which type of collar...

    Colorado wolves released today

    One of the main boosters of the reintroduction prop is a guy named Larry Weiss. He's a far left wing, animal rights, Berkeley California lawyer, relocated to Colorado. Reading his past comments are instructive on what the overall objectives of the movement are. I'm sure he's well connected to...

    Colorado wolves released today

    Yeah you nailed it. I spent some time this morning on Google Earth and couldn't get things to line up quite right, but was looking south of the river, not north.

    Colorado wolves released today

    They all have collars, and I'm sure the state will make an example out of anyone caught taking matters into their own hands.

    Can Colorado OTC Elk Last Forever?

    Right? The rapture on Polis's face when he opened the door, big yikes. His husband is a huge animal rights lefty so I'm sure things will be extra spicy tonight at the Governor's mansion.

    Can Colorado OTC Elk Last Forever?

    Rumor is that they're being dropped off in Radium as we speak. 8 CPW trucks with crates and a helicopter. Could be BS but we'll see.

    NW Colorado

    Closing out my own thread; in my experience, it was pretty thin compared to previous years. We saw very little sign, heard no bugles despite being there at what should have been primetime for rut. Talked to a local outfitter who said it was the worst he'd seen it in decades. He said that many...

    What is this in the river?

    I helped out with an electroshocking project on a river here (Northern Colorado). They electroshocked about 2 miles of river to collect all the brown trout, tagged them with RFIDs, and then relocated them downstream like 10 miles or something. Their intent was to stock whirling disease...

    Float tube fishing

    I've got an pretty lightweight Outcast something-or-other and have used it plenty in years past to backpack up to random high altitude lakes and fly fish for cutthroat. But my experience has been that fishing out of a float tube kind of sucks. Slow air leaks, cold water, awkward to maneuver with...

    Colorado Secondary Draw

    And a just reminder to anyone who isn't familiar with it that the secondary draw is 100% weighted to youth, so even if there are a decent number of tags for the unit you want to hunt, chances are good they will be issued to youth hunters before you have a chance at them.

    Hello fellow Flat Tops enthusiast!

    Thanks for posting, I'm doing archery and happy to see they didn't change those allocations, but sheeesh man, that's a huge cut for rifle seasons.
