Cheyenne to Denver is in no way reasonably commutable. I25 can be truly nightmarish with even minimal snow/weather and is regularly snarled. The hour and a half you have quoted is during non rushhour, and unless your driving at 3am, that will likely be closer to 2 or 2.5. That drivetime could...
Colorado gives out upwards of 200-350% more licenses to non residents than the average western state. BHAs article points out "55% of the licenses have the potential to be allocated to non-resident hunters in certain units (20% landowner preference plus 35% non-resident allocation". This fact...
I commend this review for explicitly testing out durability (love the drop test!) and continued zero check/ testing to 500+yds across numerous hunts. All the subjective stuff like clarity, color etc is all in the marketing text anyway. Would have enjoyed seeing the before and after drop groups...
Another montefeltro user here, thousands of rounds over the last 7 years and never once had the click (had a couple primers that failed to ignite but thats it). It is about as perfect an upland gun as I can imagine
I would also recommend bonding with the dog first, get to a point where the dog trusts you and is interested in getting praise/treats. Then move to getting some birds (pigeons, pen raised quail) and getting her conditioned with guns/birds. The .22 blank and using a friend to come closer as you...
After finding deals on used equipment, I think Ive narrowed it down to my ultimate setup. 8x32 geovid pros in chest rig, with 12x50 EL and kowa 553 for tripod work is close to covering all the bases when hunting. For scouting and finding game when close to the truck the BTX comes out and does...
In the upper Ark they are rutting down lower in private fields but saw 4 groups totaling 35 does by themselves on public land across 2 units. The one buck we did get was swolled up but all by himself.
The .308 win is a marginal caliber for most available copper bullet weights. Run those coppers at faster speeds and they kill with authority. Since jumping up from the .30-06 to the 300 win, shooting mostly 165 TTSX (3150fps) and 150s when I can find them, Ive killed 10 muley bucks, 4 bulls, 3...
The comment about predators is interesting, even in the early stages of infection, mule deer with CWD on the northern CO front range were preferentially preyed upon by mountain lions. Mtn lion populations are doing just fine in that part of the world and it doesnt appear to jump to feline or...
Didnt mean to pick on you specifically, but to be fair your post was mostly lamentation about wolves... Im not stoked about the future of how this will be politicized nor how it was done, but I truly believe we as a community look bad when we claim to love wilderness and wildness and then...
If its not the moon, hunter pressure, grazing, hikers, wind, too dry, too wet, too cold, too warm, not enough snow, too much snow, and now its the wolves. Lame excuses all of em for folks that dont tag out. Buck up and learn to hunt I say. Im tired of the wolves made hunting terrible BS and...
Considering the Nomad Ti and the Hyperion K or Ultra 7. Anyone have experience or preferences here? Other ones that should be on this list?
Pewscience ranks the Nomad Ti as the best sound supression between these (shooting .308) but with a louder first round pop whereas the Hyperion k has less...
