CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
I stand corrected. I was using my own personal experience in my home area as a basis. The whole “work remotely” things is causing waves everywhere in rural America. -
Quilt modification
To those of you who have sewn your own quilts. I currently have a CRO quilt and love it but I wish it were 3-4” wider at the shoulders. It is a long/wide. I’m a side sleeper with fairly broad shoulders and drafts are an issue especially on sub 30 nights. I feel like if I could add 2-3” per side...- Gapmaster

CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
This is a good statement. I’m in no way ungrateful for opportunities in other states. I just hate to see any opportunities taken away. As much as I hate to see NR tagged rigs at my favorite spots here at home, I would also hate to see them lose the chance to hunt here. I understand that the area... -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
Obviously you believe I’m crying or complaining. I’ve been hunting Colorado for 3 decades. I was just giving my opinion nothing more. Same as you. I believe there needs to be change for sure. Sad to see where things have gone. -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
The 120% came from my complete inability to perform basic math!!! I guess it’s like 1,200%. Basically a resident pays $57. NR pays $701. But that’s actually irrelevant to the original comments. I shouldn’t have even brought it up. -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I’m bashing residents. I’ve tried to be very respectful to residents of other states I visit hunting each year. There are unfortunately tons of NRs who show up and act like they own the place. More often than not it is likely places that residents have hunted... -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
Not higher than other states. I meant higher than residents. Which I’m fine with paying higher fees. I don’t live there. That is only right. But the percentages are extreme. They are extremely high in my home state for NR. If I was hunting state land or private land I would understand it a... -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
No I’m not saying you don’t. But to ignore the influx of revenue that NR hunters bring would be ignorant. Obviously residents buy more goods and pay more taxes. I live in a semi “tourist” area and the revenue brought in by NR hunters and fishermen drastically help support tons of small... -
CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs
I’m a non resident and I agree that there should be changes. It is ridiculous for residents to not be able to get tags or deal with the over crowding. I feel it in my home state at times. But… I also hunt strictly on Federally owned land and I also pay an astronomically higher tag fee to hunt... -
2023 What’s the Plan???
On the fence next year. Have just enough points to draw a decent unit but only just enough for a 10% chance in the unit I’m leaning toward. Neither would put where I want which is in the back country. The older I get, the more I yearn for the wild country and the peace it brings. Ya I want a... -

Pet Peeve of mine...
Honestly didn’t use the wood. It was sarcasm. I wouldn’t touch anyone’s stuff. I am always thankful no one touches mine. -
Pet Peeve of mine...
Had a group move in right beside us once. I’m talking 10’ literally. This was 3-4 days before end of archery. Set up a wall tent and a huge stack of wood. Nothing else. Said they’d be back for 2nd rifle. I thought it was a little rude to claim a spot 2 weeks out from a season…but we sure did... -
Fair Share of Elk?
We split everything. Always have. I wouldn’t want it any other way and several times it was my elk split 2,3 and even 4 ways once. Never thought twice about it. -
Favorite trekking poles?
I’ve been running the same set of Black Diamonds for the past few years. Probably have 300+ miles on them. Still in fantastic shape. Whatever you get, get cam locks on the extensions and cork handles. Make sure you adjust the cam lock screw before you use them as well. Also, check the... -
Final Gear Review
Tenacious tape will fix just about any hole in a sleeping pad barring on a huge rip. Take an alcohol wipe from first aid kit wipe it good blow it dry and tape that mug up. Got one that’s been taped up 2 years and still isn’t leaking. Leave extra pad in truck for sure. One thing about it. If... -
If you could only give one piece of advice to a new elk hunter, what would it be?
Become mentally tough, learn to handle sudden changes to plans. Make the most of every second you are in the mountains, you never know when it will be your last. Take it all in, learn from every encounter and also every non encounter, that second part will be the hardest to comprehend. Why... -
Curious on something. Hunting a unit bordering a draw unit
This is spot on, I had one drive in on an “admin” rd that we had hike up about 4 miles and thought we had it to ourselves. Don’t do something in the back country you wouldn’t do next to easy access just because you think you’re “way back” in there. Be ethical and honest. -
Curious on something. Hunting a unit bordering a draw unit
I wish one would chime in, be good discussion. -

Thanks for the pics. I may give one a shot, not unhappy with what I use but it could always be better.- Gapmaster
