    BLM on two corners with Private on the other two, ok to cross corner?

    Unless we get some pro access high roller roksliders to start bankrolling some lobbyists I think a mass civil disobedience is in order. If wardens, police, sheriffs, county prosecuters/AGs begin getting swamped with these calls and the courts get clogged up by dealing with this bogus, entirely...

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review, By Travis Bertrand and Matt Cashell

    Its really too bad the view looks as if they smeared used motor oil on the lenses... optically these thing are truly terrible and would not be suitable for more than quick glances. Hard pass on these until they get some razor level glass in these.

    Are Swarovski EL still a good buy

    Swarovski ELs, and SLC 15s are still akin to alien technology...and it's not as if Swarovski is no longer supporting EL software upgrades..the ELs still kick serious ass. The increased fov and ergos of the NLs are a nice improvement over the ELs. Lighter weight is also nice but isnt necessarily...

    Tipi tents vs dome tents for high wind

    If the expeditioneers climbing in the Himalayas are any indicator, it would appear 4 season dome tents are the choice for extreme conditions. However I think much of the performance in a given wind storm depends on your stake/guy out setup and being cognizant of when/how you exit and enter. My...

    New Sitka Kelvin Aerolite Jacket

    Got the Aerolite as a replacement for my mid weight down layer (17 oz core4element jacket) when wet conditions are expected to be used under a rain layer. I used it over a merino layer for CO muzzleloader at 11k and its surprisingly too warm to hike in for very long even in cold mornings with...

    Sleeping Bag Temp for CO - 0 or 15?

    CO archery to rifle weather is too variable to answer. If you're packing in above 11k in 3rd season a 0 deg bag and high R value pad will be absolutely be necessary. Lower elevation and earlier seasons a 15 deg will be overkill. I use an old synthetic cats meow 20 degree bag for most of...

    BaseMap Vs. OnX, My Review

    Similar to the OP, longtime Onx user (4 years). Gave basemap pro a shot after onx tracking and imagery issues . (Tracking is about 5050 whether a track actually records, whether I can see it, and whether it will quit tracking mid way through. For Imagery 80% of the areas I hunt in Colorado are...

    Trekking poles….I don’t get it

    Just to add one more to this glorious pile of support for old man river sticks.... They let you look up and scan for movement/animals at a distance while walking on trails and uneven ground. I routinely spot more animals while moving through country than others in a group while using sticks...

    Help Me Pick a Kifaru Bag

    Another vote for the nomad 2. The versatility of that system with a 45liter dry bag is unparalleled. No more blood or leaking water bladders in the main compartment. Super stable meat/rifle/bow transport right against the back. Absolutely no movement of those quarters, and I can still access...

    Future of CO OTC Elk Tags

    I foresee something like DAU specific tags or OTC with caps or possibly more are more units going to draw and absolutely a continued increase in cost for both Res and Nonres. For those lamenting cost increases, I dont believe we are even close to the cost that could be supported by existing (let...

    does anyone only carry 1 knife for hunting

    The military adage "two is one, one is none" applies here. Unless you can knap and you're in a flint rich environment, anyone that hunts further than one mile from their rig should have a backup knife. It is fairly easy to misplace knives during animal processing, particularly at night or in the...

    Leica Geovid 3200.com Reviews?

    Can any folks running these for a season comment on how they are performing? Are the range and ballistic data maintaining accuracy? How is their battery life in the cold/hot? How are they optically in the smoky skies that are apparently the status quo now? How is the depth of view (are you...

    Zeiss V4 vs…?

    I've been extremely impressed with the V4. It is uber bright with good eye relief. The MOA reticle is fine enough to shoot same hole groups but not so fine as to hinder target acquisition in the dark. It has dialed to 500 and back and tracks well with the AB ultralight software in my sig bdx...

    BaseMap Pro Review 2021 - Offline Upgrades

    First time basemap pro user here. Is there a way to mass import waypoints or tracks? Can you migrate your OnX waypoints in batches vs just one at a time? Also was stoked to see USGS topo as an option when online, but it doesn't appear to downloadable for offline maps. Is that correct? No usgs topo?

    How can I become a better hunter?

    Id say you could benefit from ditching youtube in exchange for reading about elk and deer behavior and ecology and to keep moving and glassing new areas. When I say "new area" I mean entirely new watershed, mountain range or large ridgeline. Change the habitat types and ecoregions that you are...
