    News from CPW Sportsmen's Roundtable summer meeting

    Not much discussion of wolves for this reason: CPW and its employees are legally prohibited from discussing any ballot measure, as are all agencies of state gov't. CPW made clear its opposition to forced wolf reintro before it was petitioned onto the ballot. The Commission opposed the notion in...

    Truck camping

    I have this for my ridgeline. It is easy and fast to connect w bungees. I like it so far. Unsure how one of these would fit on a taller topper, mine is cab height. Good luck.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Bar graph of new cases. Fairly steady since April 4. On May 7 new daily cases more than doubled. That's the spiked bar @ end of graph.

    7mm vs .270

    I hunt w 270 and 7RM. As long as one is selective w shot choice, 270 is worth the weight savings, especially inside 300. You can take both! I do, for backup and in case I change my mind. Frankly I shoot my 9# 7RM more accurately than the 7# 270.

    What hunt doesn’t interest you?

    Waterfowl, tree stand, predators, varmints. Fair chase, kill, eat is the hunting I enjoy. Which is not to dis other kinds of hunting, except high fence. That goes @ the top of my Dis list.

    Late CO report from a new guy

    Welcome to the forum, and the school of elk hard knocks. You were far ahead of the odds to walk into multiple elk on Day 1! Sux that scope moved, and over the hills you went. It will be that much sweeter when it all comes together and you come out heavy. Thanks for an engaging write-up. Feel...

    Late Adult Onset Hunter in Colorado

    To be clear: CPW opposes wolf reintro. It is on the ballot because of a citizen initiative, petition drive. So this falls into the same category as the ban on spring bear hunting: CPW opposed both, petition drives put both on the ballot. Bear hunting ban passed and is law. Wolf reintro will be...

    Gear investments, what do you regret?

    Surprising, My experience w Core4 has been the total opposite. I have 5 years on rain gear, element pants/jacket, hats, belt, fleece and base layers, w 0 complaints. In shopping for it, most of the people I met have found it a good alternative to Sitka, especially for the price. I owned some...
