    First elk hunt and success (long post)

    I’m a bit late on putting this up here as this hunt happened during Colorado’s muzzleloader season. I’ll start out by saying I research A LOT. I don’t watch much tv, instead I review maps, draw odds, prospective hunts and anything else that will help me be successful. This is by no means my...

    Got my MN whitetail back from the taxidermist

    Never had anything but a fish mounted, so I was slightly nervous. The taxidermist came recommended by some family and friends. It took him from November to August to get mine finished as he was really busy. Very happy with the result. The buck was in deep rut with the most swollen neck I’ve ever...

    Help with reloading set up

    Hello, I was recently given an RCBS rock chucker by my stepdad. It is probably 20 or more years old. With it I got a scale, a couple dies .243 and .270, brass, bullets and primers. All of these can be aged similarly. I do know some folks that reload, but I thought I would reach out here as well...

    My gear list for September Colorado bear hunting. How does it look?

    A buddy and I will be heading to western Colorado for our bear hunt. We will be there for 8 days starting on 9/2/2020. I am not new to hunting black bear, but I am new to camping above 8,000ft if the hunt calls for it and if we don't develop elevation sickness. The highest we have been is about...

    DIY 7x14 enclosed trailer for camping

    Picked up an tandem axle 7x14 enclosed trailer for moving out of our old house. I only paid $900 for it and would like to do a couple mods on it to use it as a camper/toy hauler. Ive watched a few youtube vids, but I thought I would ask around to see if anyone has any ideas. It wont be coming...

    Tips on researching fall black bear hunting from a newbie.

    My inspiration for writing this is the lack of information out there regarding fall black bear. I suspect its because it is in the great shadow of hunting ungulates! For some reason I love black bear hunting and I love black bears, dont know why and dont know where it started, I just do. I am a...

    A couple questions on Colorado regulations

    I’ve spent the last 1.5 hours going through the regs and haven’t found my answers. 1) Is a bow hunting education course required or a bow hunting license from a prior season required? 2) Minnesota driver’s licenses have “endorsements” on the back of the card. One example is I have my hunter...

    West Central Colorado Black Bear

    Hey all, A buddy and I are going to be bear hunting in Colorado this fall as the primary animal, not the add on tag. We will more than likely draw the tag. I don't want to say the unit as I think it deprives others of the opportunity to do the research and find good units and there is a greater...
