    Colorado Unit 81 now a draw instead of OTC for Archery

    82, 83, 85 and 86 have limited public land. Most of the elk get blown out the first weekend on to private. 851 is nearly all private except for bosque del oso which is a special draw tag (and really not worth it anymore). 85 has a lot of large ranches, Twin Peaks, Tercio, Hill ranch, Bar N 1...

    Time to process an elk?

    Took me 14 hrs solo for my cow this year. Debone, double grind, and vac-seal. Have the tube type bags for ground meat. Mix in some pork fat in the burger. Have a Lem grinder with the patty maker which is handy. Vac-seal the patties along with steaks, tenders, and roasts.

    Cameron Peak Fire Flash Flooding

    Risk of flooding goes up exponentially after a wild fire. Happened in Lyons, Waldo Canyon, Manitou, and several other areas after major fires. A strong thunderstorm over a burn scar is almost certain to cause flash flooding. They haven't had much time to do any real mitigation to creeks and...

    Finding Elk Opening week

    At least in my part of the state the snow pack took a long time to melt off. The green line took longer to move up the slopes. Seemed as if the cows and calves stayed lower longer. The monsoons were pretty strong and regular as well. There's water and food more dispersed across the area...

    Considering a move to Colorado, looking for area suggestions

    Probably won't find much West of I-25 with acreage in that price range within 2 hours of Denver. Might have to downsize the sq.ft. you're looking at. Look East if i-25. Maybe Greely, Ft. Morgan area up North. Elizabeth, Elbert and Kiowa East of Denver. Peyton, Falcon area East of Colorado...
