    No luck in Utah

    No luck this year on north slope. It was bizarre. There was boatloads of sign everywhere in the now dead timber (beetle kill) at 10,500 feet but nothing would come into our calls. Tried watching the meadows and even the alpine openings above. Only saw cows. Things sure have changed from the...

    Pistol brace news

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/13/politics/doj-rule-pistol-stabilizing-braces/index.html I wonder if they really understand the nuance of this statement: “According to the Justice Department, manufacturers, dealers and individual gun owners have 120 days to register tax-free any existing...

    herd size

    I drove at first light from Breckenridge down through FairPlay then to Cañon City. Saw zero elk in any field, meadow or edge of timber. No like it was 15 - 20 years ago where you would see numerous small herds munching alfalfa in the farmers fields.

    I found this month’s theme song!

    A perfect sing-along on your way to elk camp, the gun range or other places. I used to head to post for PT with this thumping. I kind of thought of it this week for obvious reasons.

    Recommend a smith to retool my nipple threads

    So I bungled my CVA 6mm threads a few years back. Local smith rethreaded to 1/4 T/C threads. I’ve fired 40+ rounds since with no problem using 100 grains of pyro with 430 grain .54 maxiballs. Shoots great. But now I’m starting to second guess the strength of that rethread and want it either...

    Elk hunt was a bust.

    Hunted south central Colorado. Guess it got 16 - 18 inches of snow the 2 prior days to showing up. Saw not one elk. Finally found fresh poop on day 4. Heard not one bugle. Walked out areas at 9,500 feet to 12,000 feet. Walked a lot of miles. Worst season for me in 20 years. Oh well, still had a...

    Game birds while elk hunting

    I gather we can carry a .22 pistol to shoot ptarmigan while we bow hunt in most units, assuming the season are both open: C. Game Birds, except Migratory Birds 1. Any rifle or handgun for blue grouse; ptarmigan, (except in game management unit 39); Anybody doing this and are there any...

    Front fiber optic sight for .36 dovetail

    So I have a cva big bore mountain rifle in 54 with a front 0.36 dovetail. Does anybody make a front fiber optic sight for that dovetail or do I just need to file down a 3/8 dovetail sight? thought about a Lyman globe with a euro (.36) cut, but worried it would suck in low light.

    Alaska rule changes

Never figured it would be legal to kill a sow with cubs, much less kill...

    index on diopter focus lost original alignment

    the index knob on my binos was perfectly aligned. Now it’s about1/4 a turn to the minus side to make both tubes equally aligned. I guess it lost its lock and slipped. Basically like a scope knob that slipped so it’s zero is not indexed to “0”. Is there an easy way to fix it or just send it the...

    OTC elk tags for multiple seasons

    So if you are a non resident, in Colorado can you buy an OTC archery tag for bull elk and then buy one for second season OTC bull as well? Or is it just one per year, not counting bonus or leftover tag situations.

    Optics planet vet/military coupon

    Did not know if you had seen this deal for military or vets from optics planet. You have to call customer service and hold their feet to the fire as they really dont realize the amount you can save. They kind of got weird when I bought a Minox scope and wanted the full 20% off but eventually...
