    MN Northwest Angle pros and cons

    Never had a problem with customs - but the big problem was always the dust on that road into the Angle. I dont know what material they used for it but be prepared for it to get into every nook and cranny on your boat. My uncle used to guide out of Monument Bay before the Marvins bought it. As...

    CO - Confirmed Public Land Ptarmigan Populations in El Paso/Teller County?

    Try White River near the ski mountains. Hike as high as you can and bring your Bino's. Connected on a few this year. I will say they are more of a did it once hunt - they would flush 10 feet and land. Took about 6 flushes from the dogs for them to bomb down the hill for a sporting shot.

    Bird Hunting in the Elk Woods

    Only one direction in and never saw their camp. There were no cars at the trailhead when I got there at 5 AM - so figured I was good to go. They must have heard shooting and went to the ridge top to see what it was about. I did go 2/3 on the flush so if they were watching they got to see some...

    Bird Hunting in the Elk Woods

    My best friend/hunting partner here in CO is from El Paso. I like to pile on all the sh*t people give him for his license plate when we are up near Steamboat. I know the feeling being from Minnesota and trying to get field access in SD/ND.

    Bird Hunting in the Elk Woods

    Ok - thank you for the reinforcement here. I thought there was an unwritten rule in the archery world that you shouldnt be shooting guns during that time of year. There was a second there where i thought i was the a-hole. Texas not making a good name for themselves in Routt County!

    Bird Hunting in the Elk Woods

    I never saw them on the hike in - their camp must have been on the other side of the draw I was hunting. BUT - it was far enough away where the fata*** had to get on his 4wheel and met me on the trail back to the car. I had plenty of names in my head to call him but figured it was easiest to say...

    Bird Hunting in the Elk Woods

    New member here - long time lurker. I have been living out in CO the last 3 years and have finally pulled the trigger on going after an elk this year. I grew up an avid bird hunter with an uncle who bred and trialed dogs - so first and foremost I love anything that flushes. Since I moved here...
