Wind, Thermals & Topography
I also over thought it for a while. you can use micro climate to your advantage too. Some cool timber pockets can down draft while the adjacent sunny avalanche chute is going up. Stalked up the timber early afternoon before thermals shifted. Sometimes you just never know what it’s doing until... -

Colorado bow Hunt
My favorite unit is the one closest to my house and the elk tend to be where other hunters are not looking. It’s a good one -

Colorado 1st or 3rd Rifle - Opinions Needed
I’m still confused why muzzy season is in the middle of archery. Messes everything up. Shorten archery if necessary, do a muzzy season before rifle and do 3 rifle seasons. -

Colorado Application 101
I thought that means you have zero points and you’re putting it as a first choice hunt. You don’t get pref pt if you draw. I thought 2nd choice is 2nd choice. I think that’s different than drawing with zero. But not sure. Good question! -

Batting Average? Opportunity to Success Ratio? Mule Deer Archery
I don’t hold it out, I hold it down and then come up after I draw. I’ll practice having pin on deer at draw. Never even thought of that. Good suggestion. -

Batting Average? Opportunity to Success Ratio? Mule Deer Archery
I know! I’m realizing that shooting from a stand allows for massive amounts of time vs ground hunts. At least so far that’s been my experience -

Batting Average? Opportunity to Success Ratio? Mule Deer Archery
This approach makes sense to me. Those stalks to bedded deer in deep shit and waiting for standing hasn’t worked for me. My best three ops have been deer up and moving. -

Batting Average? Opportunity to Success Ratio? Mule Deer Archery
Mid way through my first year archery mule deer hunting, and curious as to how many encounters it takes you guys to close the deal? I’m currently 0/7 and while I’m glad to be in the middle of them, I’m super frustrated to not have a deer down by now. I’ve killed probably 30 whitetails with bow... -

New Record! Colorado elk…
Wasn’t trying to make buddies. Just saying hello seemed appropriate if we were at same trail head. Didn’t get to that part about sharing plans since he totally ignored me with his attitude. For example, on opener, ran into 2 other guys hunting the same basin and a few really nice deer within... -

New Record! Colorado elk…
Interesting thread. I rolled up to my C option yesterday, around 2:30, as it’s easy to get to, and has deer. I’m archery hunting. Planning to do a quick evening and morning hunt in the basin (popular trails also cross basin, but deer are there). Always people there, and a guy is camped with his... -

Opener recap, and strategy help with willows
Friday, I headed out to my basin where I’ve been watching 3 very nice deer and some smaller ones all of August. First archery mule deer hunt, and as a local, I’ve been to this spot a lot. Saw no other hunters scouting during my 6 or so trips there, and was trying not to get too optimist to have... -

A Request for All the Elk Hunting YouTubers...
My request is to stop making videos. Maybe extreme but I think making a profit out of public land hunting should be illegal. -

Am I stupid not to take a spotting scope on an early season high country buck hunt?
Been using 15s on tripod for comfort and I can tell if it’s a shooter. But I’m not looking for a trophy. With that said I’m curious to look at these dudes through a spotter, so borrowing one for a day. -

First Scouting Trip Done
Good start to locating for my first Archery Mule deer hunt. 7 in a group, 4 of which I’d be thrilled to harvest. Let’s hope they stay put and no one chase them off!! -

What would you do
Well, he multiplied in 5 bucks( 2 nice ones!) watched them do their thing this morning, thanks for the info. Learning my way around these bucks. They worked their way down into the west facing willow to bed. Smart crew, one dropped back, checking their six out of the willows. -

What would you do
I like this. I was considering scouting options B,C etc, but this one is far better than anything I’ve seen in my unit. Might as well go all in! Damn seeing a beast really got me pumped for deer season! -
M
What would you do
Makes sense. I’m above him in AM, with favorable wind, but less favorable approaches. Assuming he hangs out consistently in that basin feeding in AM, would you ever try to drop in during night and ambush him at dawn or is that too risky to bring in smell? -
M
What would you do
In this morning scouting session, I’ve located a gorgeous buck in a remote basin surrounded by steep loose rocks/scree. would you leave him be until CO archery opening and hope he stays put or keep tabs on him? I can observe from the ridge line, accessing from an adjacent basin. Also...
