    Strategy for CO hunt Sept 10-17?

    Yes, just trying to avoid the unit number dropping game or “where should I go?” type stuff. I assume the strategy will be similar anywhere that has the appropriate elevation.

    Strategy for CO hunt Sept 10-17?

    Thanks. Our strategy with elk has been burn through some areas on the trails until finding < 1 day old sign, then get off into the dark timber with the wind in your favor and slow WAY down. Found a lot of fresh mule deer sign and beds in there with them, but that was a different area. I‘d...

    Strategy for CO hunt Sept 10-17?

    Hey all, We have been on several CO elk hunts (archery and muzzleloader), and drew a mule deer tag with 3 points this year. We fly in September 9 and will be hunting starting the 10. Have an area/unit in mind, but am looking for info on strategy during that time frame. From the research I’ve...

    Maven Vs Zeiss

    From what I’ve heard the Gavia spotters don’t entirely live up to the Zeiss premium name, and the older Diascope spotters were superior. I haven’t looked though a Gavia and have a 65mm Diascope which I’ve been pleased with but don’t have much to compare it to.

    Vortex Razor HD vs Zeiss Conquest HD?

    I went with the Zeiss’s, and have been very happy with them. To me, they are “close enough” to as good as it gets for a fraction of the price. I just can’t get on board with Vortex. I understand that some of their cheaper offerings are functional for less $, but when you’re looking at spending...

    General Warning to all images and maps

    It’s public land, I’m happy to be out in the woods with 500 of my closest friends. I don’t care if people know where I hunt, I’ll even post a pic. Don’t think I ran into anybody in that section last trip, might get overrun now. :ROFLMAO:

    NRL22x

    CCI SV for $5/box shoots substantially better in my Tikka T1X than the Eley Match ammo does. It’s normal these days to spend $40-50 just going to the range shoot by yourself for fun these days, do they shoot 500 rounds of .22 LR in a match? I’m not competing, I have enough hobbies already, but...

    Ultralight Mosquito Bivy for Cimarron

    It would be a DIY deal, but there is a material called tulle available at many fabric stores. It is extremely light, my hammock net weighs 1.5 oz, but it is somewhat fragile. You could probably make an inner liner with fabric tape and a hole for the pole to go through. Hold it up in place with...

    Is training forced fetch ethical?

    I don’t really see it that way, but it’s an interesting point. I don’t think breeders cull like they used to either, so you’re left with either a diluted “breed standard”, or an increasingly smaller and more incestual “paper breeding” which leads to more health problems. One of the reasons dogs...

    WSJ - Lead Ammo Study and Eagle, Posted Feb 17, 2022

    The issue is stuff like the “1%.” Anybody who has ever looked at data knows that isn’t statistically significant, it’s within the margin of error in almost any study. However, people that want hunting banned will look at it and claim the sky is falling and eagles are going to be extinct. Your...

    Field points consistently hit left of aim point

    Following this. I shoot an older Mathews and was hitting groups like this with very minimal effort. IIRC this group was even shooting one arrow each at 5,10,15,20,25,30, and 35 yards, which explains the 4” vertical stringing. I’ve shot two arrows at the same distance and broken nocks off. It...

    Losing stuff…

    Same here, I’ll find it at the bottom of a bag on the top shelf of a closet 6 months later.

    Backpack Hunting -0 Backpack experience

    I’m not a fan of how popular it’s become, especially within the last 2 years. There was a noticeable change in the number of guys out there EVERYWHERE with absolutely ZERO idea what they were doing. Stuff like just walking through the woods at a normal hiking pace blowing a call, with the wind...

    WTB Kuiu Pro Suspension

    I have a S/M Icon Pro (not the newest updated Pro) they came out with ~2 years ago I’d be willing to sell if you’re interested. It’s Verde if that matters to you.

    Petition/link for CO ban on pred hunting

    Sent. Passing legislation based on “feelings of the public” rather than wildlife biologists is a recipe for disaster. FL had banned black bear hunting quite a few years ago, because enough people didn‘t “like the idea of it.” Due to development, there started becoming more bear/human issues...

    Daypack without belt

    I bought an Elberlestock Bandit that seems similar to what you’re looking for, though I haven’t used it much yet. https://eberlestock.com/collections/packs/products/bandit-pack?variant=32421093933107 With 2 and 4 year old boys, I needed something to carry enough water, snacks, and rain jackets...

    Stone Glacier bought by Vista Outdoors

    I really like the guys at Stone Glacier, but this stuff is rarely good for the brand. I don’t blame them for selling, I’m sure with the supply chain issues lately on top of years of growing, it was hard to turn down an offer like “We will buy you out for 5 million dollars, keep you on as head...

    UA and Cam Hanes part ways

    I like the guy. I admire his work ethic and think he portrays hunting in a good light. I don’t care what clothes he wears or gear he uses.

    Vista CEO admits "capacity management"

    It’s a mess for sure. Inevitably what happens is the winning companies are able to buy out the others, remove all competition, and do whatever they want, especially with high barriers to entry. The prices NEEDED to go up in order to have some of it return to the shelves. Otherwise it was a mix...
