    New updated InReach plans -

    I used the unlimited for the first time on a long hunt I just got back from. It was awesome being able to text as much as I wanted to a select few. I only sparingly used it before. I have not gotten these new rates in my account but I keep the freedom plan and generally deactivate in the months...

    S NM Rut timing

    For any experienced hunting the first archery season in southern NM or AZ, when do things typically heat up? I've been to elevations from 7k to 9500 feet. It seems awful quiet. Lots of cows around so that's a good sign! Bulls up higher have not rubbed velvet off yet from the ones I have seen and...

    Who will shoot a cow elk this year?

    I have a pretty limited E/S archery tag. With the state of herds in Colorado being what they are this is the 2nd year in a row in the past 7 I won't have the luxury of a late season cow tag to count on to try to fill the freezer, and the chances of pulling a leftover deer tag are looking pretty...

    Holy cow bow season is close.

    Thanks. I actually think I have found the solution. Went through the ShotIQ Controlled Process Shooting course and have been to the range twice the past two days using his process. Has cleaned things up dramatically. Somehow I had fooled myself into thinking I was not punching the button and...

    Elk and "ranchers" in Wyoming

    https://coloradosun.com/2024/08/01/outsider-2024-08012024/#:~:text=The%20tax%20%E2%80%94%20%243%2C000%20per%20unit,more%20housing%20for%20working%20locals. Here is a somewhat communist approach that could be adapted to these richers buying up the real estate.

    Holy cow bow season is close.

    I just had to go buy 6 more arrows after losing a few the past we weeks taking me down to 8 remaining. I am dealing with some target panic. I am going to lay off shooting so much and only go to the range with larger targets. Pretty annoying thing to be dealing with I hope I can shake it and the...

    Anyone get their coveted tag this year

    I drew a coveted tag but I won't say I have been waiting years for it. Only my second year applying for it. I thought it would be years more of waiting to hunt a unit of this quality I can say that for certain.

    Wolves, You, & Hunting in Colorado

    Most if not all of the law enforcement (DWM-District Wildlife Managers) are biologists and contribute significantly to management of game. We have that going for us.

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    I wonder when CPW starts losing wardens. I may be a minority but I turned down a habitat biologist job earlier this year largely due to the huge pay cut I would have to take but also not wanting to try to step into the situation with landowners and wolves. Glad I did not take that job even...

    West Texas Free Range Elk Hunt

    You are not wrong but neither are they. The fact of the matter is there is always someone with more money to come in and take your place on an outfitted hunt or a lease (or buy a ranch out from under you). The people on rokslide are of a different type than those on facebook. More passionate...

    West Texas Free Range Elk Hunt

    Silas I have a mule deer and WT lease in Terrell County. I do not want elk on my lease lol. I see idiots posting pictures on facebook of elk at their feeders. Sure elk can live in creosote and you can feed them they will live. I don't want that feed bill and I don't think most lease hunters want...

    West Texas Free Range Elk Hunt

    Fair enough. I looked back and I don't see the post folks are referring to either so it either was not posted or was removed. Sorry to shit on you. I am glad you enjoyed the experience.

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    I would not be shooting at game past 400 yds and elk/deer, hopefully moose someday but I imagine that would be a closer shot. I feel like with the caliber I should retain the energy needed for elk sized game. By modern standards I don't view 400 yards as "long range." Thoughts? The manufacturer...

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    Just got my suppressor now I need to decide how much to cut the barrel. I shoot factory ammo out of a 300 WM. With a 22 inch barrel and suppressor I was getting right at the advertised muzzle velocity of 2960 this morning out of some cheap federal ammo. I usually shoot Barnes Vor-tx TTSX which...

    WY BLM camping snakes

    My buddy is riding the Tour Divide right now. He started seeing rattlers around Wamsutter. I advised that he stay in his tent and leave nothing on the ground as he moves towards New Mexico. I would not mess around in the sage. They can be thick.

    Do you actually use the safety in a bolt rifle? I don't.

    I don't know anything about your car it could be dangerous just to try to get in and out of! The whole argument/debate/whatever deserves a much stronger word than silly. You all can keep whatever technique you prefer. I use all strategies when they fit my situation but this thread is stupid...
