    Flintlock pronghorn?

    Buying $45 worth of projectiles was a stretch for my budget, so another lock is out of the question. I appreciate the input.

    Any HVAC techs in the house?

    Generally speaking, sticking with the original equipment is always best. If you need wifi, honeywell and other companies make wifi connection boards that interface with the original thermostat/heat pump. Just a thought / plan B option

    2023 Colorado Secondary Draw Results

    And i dont see a way to fix CPW, because even if all the residents woke up to these facts and stopped buying tags they would have no problem selling all the tags to non-residents for even more money.

    2023 Colorado Secondary Draw Results

    This is what all the $8/$10 application fees add up too. CPW doesn't care if anyone gets a tag or not. They figured out that the chance to draw a tag is worth more than the actual tag.

    Flintlock pronghorn?

    Round balls are gutsy! I used them when I was young, and you can see it spiraling. Thanks for the reminder to get some kneepads.

    7mm REM Mag Suggestion

    I used 140/160 handloaded accubonds for years with reliable accuracy and performance, but the Trophy grade has gotten crazy expensive. I've handloaded the 140 TTSX and that works well for elk, but maybe slightly destructive for pronghorn. As mentioned Barnes factory stuff should be good to go...

    Flintlock pronghorn?

    Thanks, may well be a low chance of harvest hunt. Looking forward to hunting with 2 friends and chasing goats after a few years of no tags.

    2023 Colorado Secondary Draw Results

    I stopped donating $8 this year. You have better odds playing the powerball. What really annoys me is paying $8 to not draw the first draw, then seeing a few tags on the secondary draw lists that I put in for already. If people turn tags in or don't pay for them they go on the secondary draw...

    Steripen questions

    I used a steripen for years in Colorado. Never got sick. I would just wipe the rim/ threads off, and try to never get the cap wet while filling. Then run the UV. It did always kinda bother me dipping the bottle in the creek. Sometimes I would let it dry in the sun before UV, or run the UV...

    Browning A-Bolt 7 mag load info

    When I messed around with a 162 eldx the COL was around 3.295". Maybe once you settle on powder charge, shoot 2 shot tests of different seating depths around .005" apart.

    7mm mag bullet help

    I've switched to hammer bullets. I used to shoot the 140/160 accubonds, or 140ttsx. The hammers blow everything else away accuracy wise, and are always in stock. Screw Nosler for not selling components for 3 years. The hammers are better and about the same price since nosler's prices went...

    CPW 2023 Draw Stats are out

    I think people are tired of giving CPW all kinds of money for the draw and not getting anything out of it. Also the fact that our money will be spent on reintroducing wolves after the worst winterkill in decades. I spent around $300 this year to get nothing but points and a 3rd Choice cow tag...

    Flintlock pronghorn?

    Drew a muzzy pronghorn doe tag. I hunt with a T/C renegade 50 cal flintlock. Does anyone have experience taking a flintlock shot on pronghorn? Wondering if the delay / pan flash results in them taking off while shooting. I've killed a bull w/flintlock and some pronghorn w/rifles, but is this...

    What bullet should I take

    I used the powerbelt 300 some grain 50 cal years ago. At 50 yds it was bang, flop!

    CC Hit for CO Moose!

    Congrats to all who drew and Don't stray too far from the road! Probably the last great year for moose before they all get eaten by collared wolves.

    Aspen Area and Gunnison to Montrose Corridor - likely for wolf release

    I've been thinking we should organize a large group of a few hundred hunters to do a drive from north park eastward. The wolves don't know where the continental divide is, but once they go up and over and find the stupid easy pray in RMNP , they wouldn't leave.
