    I'd shoot an elk at 500 all day long with the lrx out of a creedmoor.

    Pick a 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet for Elk

    As a user and killer of many whitetails, muleys, and elk; I'm going to need pics on the accubond not working correctly. At 60 yards, i put one in the chest of a bull. Dead on impact. Part of the bullet was found at the rear of his ham with the rest doing exactly what is was designed to do in...

    Reading Elk Rubs

    When you find sign, you're too late. If you haven't found sign, you're too early.

    Pick a 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet for Elk

    I use LRX 127 grains in my wife's gun. I killed a mature 303" bull with it last year. 140 gr accubonds or 142 grain ablr would be great as well.

    Unit 54 Colorado Mule Deer

    Don't over think it. Go where you had success before. There are plenty of big bucks in that unit.

    Best wild game meat

    Mule deer - must be lucky, never had a bad one. Elk - only bulls, need to try a cow Whitetail - have been eating for 39 years. Rabbit Canvasbacks ducks Wild turkey Mallards/gadwalls Can't believe no one has rabbit in the list. Also, I had some farm raised red stag once and that was probably...

    Colorado Unit 66 4th Season-Mule Deer

    I doubt there are any honey holes for that unit because it takes time to draw. There are some nice canyons in there. The ability to take same long distance shots would be recommended. Get there at least 2 days prior to glass different dark timber strips. Glass, glass, glass. Find the does.

    Being young making decisions would you do it all over again.

    I'm 39. I had 2 businesses in 2 different stays until 37. I sold one and got out of the other to start a new career last year to make Colorado my permanent home. I've taken family vacations, coach my kids, and hunt when I want. I have done this since I was 27. No regrets here. Always set...

    Colorado 2020-2024 BGSS - Final Recommendations Published

    Interesting with what they did with 2nd and 3rd rifle. I wonder why they did that. The taking of 2 days for each season may help the deer more than the elk. Most people don't have it in them to hunt the full 9 days. The starting in the middle of the week ought to make some NRs mad.

    2020-24 season structure options

    I bet there are no changes. Hunters can ways get away from people. I like to bow hunt too, but archers need to stop griping. I hunt in a heavily hunted unit and I don't see anyone while hunting. I see them on the way in and on the way out. 4/5 years I've killed a bull with 2 of those being...

    26 Nosler for elk?

    I've killed one bull that chest was facing me. 142 gr ABLR. 60 yards. Bullet entered the chest and found the rest at very end of hind quarter. He flopped in the scope, dead before he hit the ground. I've also killed one with the 6.5CM. 170 yards. 303" bull. The 26Nosler will kill...

    Had to do it. Trying out a KUIU ICON PRO

    My muley this year was packed out in one load. I didn't want to make 2 trips and made myself do it. Counting the meat and all my equipment, the load was 120 pounds. I have used kuiu packs for loads and packing in, etc for 7 years. Not one failure from 4 bulls and 7 muleys.

    Christensen Arms

    I owned a 26 nosler Ridgeline. Didn't like it. I thought the action was sloppy and it was hell to load for. My dad has a 28 nosler in the Ridgeline and it is a sub-moa gun. However, my fierce 26 nosler is unbelievable to load for and shoot. It shoots the factory 140 grain accubonds at .4...
