    How many arrows do you take on a hunt?

    Full quiver, some extras in the truck or at base camp.

    Iron Will entry/exit & blood trails

    Thank you for being reasonable and insightful on this issue. I've considered switching to IW's for a while now. Haven't made the jump yet but this is influencing me to make the switch. I've had this happen to me on a deer before. I cut half the heart with a mechanical, lodged it in the...

    Ducks for a new guy

    The limiting factor to getting started hunting is "will", your post just goes to show that you can make it happen if you want it bad enough.

    What do you wish you’d done differently on your first western hunt?

    Awesome job by the OP so glad to hear that story. I finished my first OTC public land elk hunt as well. Didn't have quite the experience you did but overall it is going to make the time when I get one that much better. My list is. More and better clothing options. Need better warm and...

    Colorado Archery Units 35, 36, 361 & 45

    Just left that area. Lots of sheep still in the mountains. We never saw game around the sheep. Talked to the shepherd and they were running 1800 head near our area. Definitely put a wrinkle into our original plan. My guess is that the game can deal okay with the sheep, but they're probably...

    First week Colorado

    Complete opposite experience for our group. No vocalizations, cold and windy, bright moon. Some elk seen on opening day but completely shut down after that. Glad you guys made it happen.

    50% Decline in Eagle County Colorado's Elk Population Since 2007

    I hear you. It's disingenuous for us as hunters to say that we are in no way responsible for the decline. Even recreational hunting can be a problem but that is what our state's game systems are for. Unfortunately manipulating hunters is the easiest and least controversial management tool...

    50% Decline in Eagle County Colorado's Elk Population Since 2007

    I get where you are coming from but "Hondo" said that he "just finished" his scouting trip. Let's say that was 2 weeks ago in mid June, why would there be carcasses to feed on? Naturally deceased would be disease or famine issue, mountain lion kills at a high enough rate would be additive...

    E-scouting for public land bull elk

    Adam, It's a tricky situation. The numbers just aren't that straight forward. Total amount of hunters is actually going up. Hunters as a percentage of the population is going way down. Hunters are also migrating to different types of endeavors. Virtually gone is the guy who buys a license...

    50% Decline in Eagle County Colorado's Elk Population Since 2007

    Probably all factors at play. Always a tough discussion to have.
