    Colorado land access

    That is good to know for next time. We hit quite a few fences over the week hiking around and kept checking OnX to see if there was private land if the OnX database was not up to date. You end up getting a pretty good system down of lowering your packs over the fence then one guy holding the...

    Colorado land access

    Thanks for the heads up. This was my first time hunting and I had not seen a gate like that before. I did not know about the top and bottom loops or it was constructed that way to easily undo and put back.

    Colorado land access

    It looked like it was wrapped around on the top and bottom but based on the 2 poles on the left that may have been the initial design. It didnt really affect us too much as we just went up to glass but it makes for a tricky call if someone needed to get a vehicle down there. How much are you...

    Colorado land access

    For academic purposes here is the photo of the gate/fence. The grate on the right is big enough for an ATV and the wire across the main road is not able to be opened unless you remove a bunch of wire. It only blocks about 2 miles but it is a relatively important road if you came in from the...

    Colorado land access

    We ended up walking through the gate and glassing the valley. The rain shadow from the mountains made everything too dry anyway. Its not that big of a deal. Just something I could channel my frustration into from 5 days of hard hunting without seeing elk. It kind of became a tongue and cheek...

    Good camera for wildlife/ landscape photography

    The Canon 7D MKII would be my choice. It has a bombproof body and is generally a workhorse of a camera. The crop sensor gives you a little extra zoom too. There are tons of Canon and 3rd party lenses that work with the camera too. You can also buy the body and rent top of the line L telephoto...

    Colorado land access

    Not in this case. OnX clearly shows its a vehicle road and the road had wide tracks. No sign indicating it was a ATV only trail. The grate is where the yellow SXS marker is. I am going to have a talk with the local Ranger District. They could have at least but a gate or something. I took a...

    Colorado land access

    I ran into this as well. Last week drove our side by side to the top of Boot Mountain in CO and there was a fence crossing the road. There was a little grate that could fit an ATV but not our Can Am. I was pretty pissed since we wanted to go down into the other valley. Its public land but it...

    First Elk Hunt

    I just got back from my first Archery elk hunt in CO OTC and I made a point to make notes on each day. It takes about 5 min and I used the notes app on my phone. That way I can flush out the rest of the story in a few days to remember. Also be aware that when you are at 12,000 ft and above the...

    Season -2022

    I just got back from hunting southern Colorado OTC elk and they were dead quiet the entire time. We saw a lot of sign way up high though.

    Friendly reminder for those hunting in the wet conditions

    Every time Trail Kreitzer does a GoHunt gear video and says he brings only 1 pair of socks I want to yell through my laptop. My general rule is bring a pair for each day +1. DWR wears out too so get a fresh application of Nikwax etc. for the trip.

    Filson-wool- what am I missing?

    There are a few problems with Filson. The first is they now cater to rich hipsters that want to look the part and have money to blow on overpriced goods. The other issue is Seattle has an insane cost of living and keeping the USA made goods built there costs a lot. If anything they should move...

    Anybody rucking?

    Right now I have the Xero Shoes Prio for training and I love them. I went and got the Xero Hana for casual wear and will prob pick up some Lems Boulder boots for the fall. After a single day of wearing them I tried on all my old shoes and they felt like garbage so now barefoot is all a wear...

    A "Rokslide etiquette" list

    This is a really good idea. I lurked a while here before making an account and saw 2-3 other guys get roasted for asking about unit numbers so I knew better. I think people have no idea of the implications of giving out that information and the nature of hunting today. People think its like...

    Anybody rucking?

    I have been doing this the last few weeks to get prepped for my first elk hunt. Luckily we have a path near our house that leads to some trails. I have a 25lb kettlebell I put on a towel and some water. My furthest is 4.5 miles right now but I have done 5 with a lighter pack setup with an...

    First year Colorado otc archery elk

    It has actually been a somewhat wet summer here in Colorado. More cloud cover and longer duration storms with steady rainfall. Instead of the violent isolated cells with torrential rain and hail that we have been getting the last few years.

    Is there anything you can do when you have a bad experience with a guide/outfitter?

    I agree. From the story the OP posted it was really only the other guide camp that was not a good call and it sounds like his guide was pissed about it. For the other points- Shooting a bear in a raging creek that would make it impossible to recover sounds very reasonable. Also holding a shot on...

    Quiver on your hip

    I think you will have to take the mounting bolts off and put them on the hip mount then use the quick release from there. I have not ordered it yet though so I cant say for sure.
