    I don't have any puffy pants, but I do have some wool overpants that I plan to have in my pack for when we stop to glass. I may pick up some puffies though.

    Upcoming 4th season hunt, what am I missing?

    Even better than that, we're staying in a cabin centrally located to the unit. I am stocked up on Hot Hands and have some rechargeable handwarmers. My only concern is foot warmth. I'll keep plenty of socks handy to swap throughout the day. Good tip on keeping the water in a cooler for warmth...

    Upcoming 4th season hunt, what am I missing?

    No, this will be my first trip to the area during the 4th. Coming from Mississippi I'll have every piece of clothing I own.

    Upcoming 4th season hunt, what am I missing?

    I was lucky enough to pull a 4th season mule deer tag in CO this year. It's in a unit that I've elk hunted several times. I'm pretty familiar with the area and the trophy potential. This summer I made a trip to scout and spent a few days in the lower elevation portions of the unit where I hadn't...

    South Central CO Taxidermist

    I better not mention that one to my son. For some reason he's in love with Canon City. He'll pop the first raghorn he sees and want to head over there. I'll check em out though.

    South Central CO Taxidermist

    Thanks for the suggestion. That wouldn't be too far out of the way. I've never been to Pagosa anyway so I'd get to see some new country.

    South Central CO Taxidermist

    At the risk of jinxing myself, I am looking for recommendations for a taxidermist in the south central part of Colorado. I drew a 4th season deer tag. I noticed a leftover 4th season elk tag in the same unit, and applied my son for it. He ended up drawing. I typically bring a burner and pot to...

    I'm sitting in an online lecture, and have reported about 4 pages worth of them while trying to stay awake

    Hotel Recommendation in Alamosa, CO

    We stayed in the Fairfield while scouting last month. Nice place. Bonus- it's close to a Maverik so you can grab a burrito when you gas up on the way out of town.

    "Funny" TSA Thread

    I had a similar experience with Denver and New Orleans. The Denver airport completely disassembled my gun case, removed everything including the foam, and fumbled around putting it back together. I was seriously concerned I was going to miss my flight. In New Orleans they took the case and said...

    Carnivore Diet

    My wife did carnivore for a while, then slowly added other foods back in. She saw decent weight loss. The main thing she saw was a loss of allergic reactions and inflammation from foods she was eating, By eliminating everything except meat, she was able to slowly add other foods in to see what...

    Which Toyota 4Runner?

    We bought a 4Runner in 2019. I wanted a TRD, she wanted a 3rd row seat (which TRDs don't have). We compromised and got one with a 3rd row seat. I immediately swapped the wheels and tires the TRD wheels and BFG all terrains. I installed a Cornfed leveling kit up front. We've had Weathertech floor...
