    Colorado Backdoor Thread

    If I remember correctly from past years, the 400 code is for the application, and the 500 code is if you draw the tag. So, having a 400 code doesn't necessarily mean you didn't draw (everyone that applies will show a 400 code), its the lack of a 500 code that means you struck out. So don't get...

    Utah members-a little help if possible

    Not too many options in Eden or Huntsville. Ogden is probably the better choice. Depending on where you are hunting, you can drive the North Ogden Divide road or up Ogden Canyon. Plan on 10-25 minute drive into the valley depending on where you are staying and where you are hunting.

    New Leica Noctivid

    I thought the optical quality on the Noctivids was outstanding (I didn't get to look outside in low light), but in talking to the Leica rep, there is no way to mount to a tripod without using the Leica style wrap around mount. There is no threaded adaptor in the front to mount an outdoorsman's...

    Shed Hunting- is there mounting opposition?

    Wyoming has had a shed season since 2009, has it helped? Maybe. It doesn't stop everyone, just the honest guys, haven't been out on opening day yet and not found boots tracks. The problem with the shed season and people stating how easy it would be to enforce is that every state already has...

    Montana Archery Elk

    Buying the point for $50 is for a preference point for the General tag only, not a bonus point for the limited tags. The bonus points cost $20, and I believe there is no point only option for either preference or bonus points, unless it changed this year. Buying the points is voluntary and you...

    Western Hunting Reasources

    Kinda depends on what your after, I think GoHunt is better for overall information on every unit in each state, makes it easier to research a little more and compare options. I think Epic and HF are better at covering top units (although it remains to be seen how Epic will cover each state). If...

    Strings

    Hogwire are great strings as well. I had Proline on my last bow, liked them a lot too.

    Western Hunting Reasources

    I joined all 3, have been a member of HF since '06, and Gohunt & Epic since they started. GoHunt seems to have good state coverage and some info on every area in the states they cover. That being said some of the info on areas gets pretty general and is occasionally suspect in accuracy (most...

    ATA 2017 - Browning Speed Load Knives

    I bought one for Christmas, I like it a lot so far. Bigger handle than my havalon, fits my hand better, I love being able to use a few different styles of blade.

    UT Muzzleoader elk options

    What size of bull do you consider "something nice"? Wasatch and Manti both give you better odds than Dutton with 9 points for muzz., both have more elk as well. On average the quality on the Dutton is better than Nebo in my opinion. If your trying to kill a 320" type bull, I would look more to...

    7 PP in Colorado WWYD

    As a NR, honestly you are in no mans land with your points. If you choose to wait for a "better" unit, you will be waiting a LONG time. I burned 11 points on a 4 point archery hunt and would do it again in a heartbeat. I was never going to catch the "better" units. A unit may not be worth 7...

    270 bullets

    I've been shooting the 140 gr. Accubond from my .270 WSM the past 7 or 8 years. Its been a great bullet! Had great performance on deer, elk, and antelope from 170 to 773 yards. I've been running 64.5 grains of 4831sc and have held sub-1/2" groups very consistently. I keep saying I'm going to try...

    Colorado GMU 53

    There is water up to about 10,500' in the area you are talking. I have hunted that area a few times for deer, archery and 2nd rifle. Didn't run into outfitters early in the archery season a couple years ago, but my brother-in-law ran into outfitter camps during the muzzleloader hunt in there...

    CO 54 2nd season

    I drew a 54 2nd season tag and was wondering if anyone here has any experience in the unit that time of year? All my other 2nd season tags in other units I have packed into timberline (10-12,000 feet), just wondering if the high country in 54 holds the bucks until large snows hit or if they move...

    Awaiting Utah Drawing

    $80 charge, looks like I have a late muzzleloader tag. Time to get a scope mounted up and dialed in!

    Utah Deer Question

    Utah Limited entry deer points are bonus points and "general season" deer points are preference points. They are two different draws. You will have to look and see if the points are listed as bonus or preference. If you draw any of the general units, you will lose your preference points. There...

    FMJ Dilema

    Thanks for the input, I'm leaning towards staying with the originals for now so I don't have to replace all my broadheads this year. I'm liking the slick tricks I'm shooting now, just weighing my options for arrows.

    FMJ Dilema

    I have always shot a stiff spine up until a couple years ago when I tried the 400's. By stiff spine I mean I have always gone one size to the stiff side of whatever the charts suggested. I am one of the guys that believes that you cant go too stiff on shaft deflection, so its just personal...
