    Colorado G12 2nd season

    I drew unit 12 last season and did a fair amount of scouting. I also ended up shooting one of the biggest goats taken in that unit last year according to the DOW statistics page. I am not familiar with that portion of the unit but if your looking for some info I am willing to share.

    Drew Colorado Goat!

    Nice. I drew in unit 12 last year and shot a nice goat. I recommend looking at as many goats as possible, they are tough to judge. Also, run ridges and get above the goats. You can get within bow range if your above them.

    Best 300 Win Mag for $1200

    Go with a .308. I kill elk and deer with a .308 every year with no problem. It is also cheap to buy ammo and is typically abundant.

    Best 300 Win Mag for $1200

    Both Bergara and Tikka offer rifles in that caliber, for under 1k, that have a 1 moa guarantee. I would start there. Also, I agree with most of the comments on avoiding such a large caliber. It is a great caliber but is it necessary? Finally, if you are going to use this for mountain hunting out...

    I think it depends on the ranch but I would say that you will be better off doing a non rfw tag.

    Colorado 2021 Elk Unit Decisions

    Well I do not know what the best unit is for you in regards to drawing with 13 points. In my experience, the bulls are still doing some bugling in first rifle depending on where you are hunting and in a unit that takes that many points they might still be bugling. The last two elk I killed...

    Help Understanding Harvest Report CO

    I am not sure then what the problem is. I do not really agree with a post about not paying attention to the harvest statistics. He is correct that it is volunteered information, but statistically speaking, it is probably within a standard deviation of being accurate. I use them in most states...
